Partners of the Americas (PoA) Guyana chapter recently donated a quantity of books to the Guyana School of Agriculture (GSA) courtesy of the Christian Veterinary Mission of Washington, USA.
According to a press release the donation was made possible through Dr Sandol Johnson of the Cleveland Community College in Shelby, North Carolina, after she visited this country last May/June as a volunteer on the PoA Farmer to Farmer programme.
Johnson was part of a team that looked at slaughter practices and meat hygiene, the release said. The team visited the GSA, met the administration and conducted practical instruction sessions at the Rising Sun Abattoir in West Coast Berbice with students attending the Animal Health and Veterinary Public Health Programme. The release said it was during one of these sessions with programme lecturer Dr Dexter Allen that led to Johnson committing to donating the much needed resources.
