As the Tagore Memorial Secon-dary School, located at the Number 63 Village, Corentyne, approaches its 75th anniversary this year, the institution continues to receive support from old students.
Recently, over 500 books, a television, a DVD player and a projector were donated to the school by the alumni organisation, called the Tagore Philanthropic Society (TPS), according to Chairman of the School Board Charlie Amar.
Amar told Stabroek News that the books came as both a Christmas gift for the students and as a form of encouragement to spur them on into becoming “prolific readers.”
Amar also noted that TPS thought it necessary for the school to have an “audio visual centre” and as a result the liaisons for TPS in Guyana, Amar Chand and his wife Jenny Chand, donated a 42-inch television system and a DVD player, while TPS donated a projector with a surround sound system to make it a reality.
