Marcus Walton, Peace Corps Volunteer in Guyana & The Gambia

The official first post from Guyana…

I will be here for the next five months. I am living in Yakusari in Black Bush Polder (East Berbice) Guyana. My main objective is to setup, teach staff and students basic IT and computer skills, educate residents of Yakusari and create a computer club. I’m Sir Marcus to the students of grades 4-9. The population is mostly East Indians. Black Bush Polder is soley agriculture and the population and education is declining. Here are some pictures of the setup of the lab, I’ll be teaching next week. More to come…
