Oct 14, 2018 News

The work of Communities Arise in the education of children in the Sophia Community continues to be recognized by organisations and individuals who wish to contribute to the development of Guyana’s children.
On Monday, the United States-based Guyana United Youth Development Association donated US$2,000 to Communities Arise in support of its work.
The Guyana United Youth Development Association of New York Inc. (GUYDA) is a 501 (c)(3) Not for Profit Organization, whose mission is to support the academic, physical and social development of youths in Guyana.
GUYDA has collaborated with Communities Arise over the years. It is very supportive of its Literacy Project. During the school term, sessions providing a sound foundation in reading are conducted on Saturdays, from 10 a.m-12 noon. Approximately 140 Grades 3 to 11 students, from Sophia and other neighboring communities, are enrolled at the Project’s three Centres in Sophia, C Field and D Field. GUYDA’s Secretary, Ms. Beryl James, said that her organisation will continue to help in any way possible to ensure that the youths involved in the programme receive the necessary assistance.
Speaking on behalf of Communities Arise, Ms. Glenyss James expressed her deep appreciation to GUYDA for their consistent and generous contributions to the Project over the years.
Communities Arise, a Non-Governmental Organisation Registered under the Friendly Societies Act Chapter 36:04 (No. 1116, 2008), is led by professionals who are passionate about helping vulnerable students maximise their potential. It facilitates, as far as possible, the attainment of life skills, functional literacy and readiness for the National Grade 6, Technical /Vocational and CSEC Examinations.
