Maria’s Lodge Nursery School gets modern sanitary facility
Mohamed’s Enterprise through its Managing Director, Nazar “Shell” Mohamed recently constructed sanitation and storeroom facilities for the teachers and pupils of Maria’s Lodge Nursery School in Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam).
This is the second major donation to schools in Essequibo for the past month. Only recently, he rehabilitated the computer room and installed several desktop computers at the Johanna Cecelia Secondary School to the tune of over $5 million.

Nevertheless, this recent project is being done to a tune of $2 million. The facility was handed over to the school by Faoud Mohamed, a representative of Nazar Mohamed since the businessman could not have been there in person.
Despite not being there, through his representative, he expressed his satisfaction with the work done and encouraged the teachers and pupils to care the facility.
Mohamed explained that since the school was built, the sanitation facility was in the yard which was somewhat inconvenient, especially during the rainy season. However, the Head Teacher at the time made several attempts to have the facility erected in the building but to no avail.

In February of this year, a letter was penned and sent to Nazar Mohamed soliciting his assistance in constructing the washroom and storeroom facilities. During a visit to the region in March, Mohamed committed to financing the project. Soon after all the necessary approvals were granted the construction was undertaken by Kishan Deonarine and completed on May 4.
The construction work included building a teachers’ toilet, a girls’ toilet, a boys’ toilet, a bathroom, a storeroom, and a trestle.
In gratitude to the businessman, the Head Teacher, at the handing over ceremony stated that the facilities would not have been possible without the generous input of Mohamed.
“After twenty-six years of waiting, Maria’s Lodge Nursery School has finally been given these necessities. And our gratitude and heartfelt thank you go out to the sole financer Mr Nazar Mohamed and family of Mohamed’s Enterprise”, the Head Teacher added.
She promised to cherish the new facilities. Also present at the handing over ceremony were the Regional Vice Chairman Humace Odit, Regional Education Officer (Nursery), Waneta Hunte and other officials.
