Meten-Meer-Zorg Primary’s top NGSA achievers honoured by US Firm

…as Sterling Products rewards successful students

The top ten performers at the recent National Grade Six Assessment (NGSA) of the Meten-Meer-Zorg Primary School were on Friday honoured by US-based consulting firm in Guyana, Keen360.
This recognition was made possible through Keen360’s ‘Scholarship Programme’— which extends cash grants as well as trophies.
In addition, the students were treated to a full day of activities, which included a field trip to the Botanical Gardens and the zoo, with a relaxing lunch afterward.
In their continued bid to improve the school’s learning environment, the US-based firm also provided paint for all the desks and benches for grades 5 and 6 and sponsored their graduation— which was held on July 10, 2019.
Keen360 will also provide each student at the Meten-Meer-Zorg Primary School with backpacks and essential stationery supplies for the new term ahead.
At the prize-giving ceremony, Arif Khan, Director of Operations at Keen360, stated, “We believe in giving back to the community in order to strengthen the social fabric and sustain economic vitality”.
“This investment in our shared future is being rolled out under the ‘School Supply Programme’, through which close to 450 students will benefit,” the firm noted.
Khan also pointed to the social and economic benefits of these types of programmes. He noted too that the professionals at Keen360 look forward to future events for celebration and recognition, especially for the youths who are Guyana’s future.
Meanwhile, Sterling Products Ltd has rewarded 12 children, who successfully wrote the National Grade Six Assessment examination and are preparing to enter secondary school come September. Each child received a cash award of $60, 000 during a small ceremony at Sterling’s Providence office on July 26. The annual bursary programme has been in place for over two decades.
Addressing the awardees, the company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Ramsay Ali, said there are continuous improvements on how the children are assisted.
Wishing the children well in their secondary education, the CEO advised them that the next five years of their academic life will be different from what they are used to. He also encouraged them to remain dedicated to their studies.
