Rotary Club of G/T establishes 1st EarlyAct Club in Guyana
The School of Nations in collaboration with the Rotary Club Georgetown on Friday launched the first-ever EarlyAct Club in Guyana.
Early Act is a school-based service club for Primary School students from ages six to 13. It provides young students with the opportunity to gain an increased level of awareness and knowledge of their communities and the world.
The mission of EarlyAct is to promote goodwill, understanding, and peace through the active participation of the student members so that with committed citizenship and effective leadership, they may improve the quality of life in their school, local and global communities.

Assistant Governor, Elizabeth Cox in the featured address congratulated School of the Nations and Rotary Club Garden City-Georgetown for the formation of the EarlyAct Club while explaining the values the students will gain, such as Care & Tolerance, Respect & Friendship, Responsibility & Leadership.
President Natasha Backer in her remarks mentioned that the Rotary Club of Garden City is honoured to be the Sponsoring Club and pledged support in providing guidance and/or assistance to the Early Acters as they aim to achieve their objectives.
Director of Nations Mrs. O’toole recognised the importance of children being involved in volunteering at an early age and she believes it will help the students to build character while they learn about the environment and a healthy lifestyle.
Meanwhile, the Principal of the educational facility Mischka White welcomed the initiative since it will provide for a smooth transition into the school’s already existing Interact Club.
The Club has so far 64 members from Grades 1 – 5.
