Allyson Gilford-Benn has been known to rely on faith. Years ago, she had quit her job as a banker to nurture her young children, rearing chickens and driving a minibus to make ends meet while doing so. Much later, she returned to the classroom after 27 years to pursue a bachelor’s degree in modern languages majoring in Spanish at the University of Guyana (UG).
She has since created a Spanish alphabet that is being used countrywide as a teaching and learning aid. She has produced workbooks for the seven levels of pupils she teaches, but most of all she is proud that her children are now professionals giving back to society.
