In 2009, the Headmistress submitted an invoice for the cost of two stoves that the school needed. Denise Thompson ( NRMSS Alumni Assoc. Guyana Branch President) made the following appeal on Facebook,” I am appealing to everyone for a donation towards the purchase of these stoves. Remember we were once part of that school and would now like to see those kids perform just as well or better than we did. If everyone pledges a small contribution then we can meet our target”. Ms. Thompson coordinated this project from Guyana , inconjunction with Nalini Singh on behalf of the US Chapter. An account at Citizens Bank Guyana Inc. Together we collected (US)$1,350.00; equivalent G$270,000. The cost of the two stoves were G$268,000.below is the story.
