Mings Products and Services (MPS) donated a new Yamaha 25H.P outboard motor
worth $679,000 to be used to transport the children who attend the St. Lust Primary School, Berbice River.
The donation resulted from a visit to the St. Lust, Wiruni and Dubuli communities several months ago by Stanley Ming and Dr. Michele Ming, Directors of MPS.
During the visit, it was observed that the open boat and engine being used were relatively small and could only transport about 40 students whose parents could afford to pay for the motorized transport. The others had to paddle for several miles.
There was a brief discussion involving some of the parents and Mrs. Henrietta Sampson, the Head Teacher of St. Lust Primary School. Stanley Ming committed MPS to donating a suitable engine, depending on the size of boat that the communities would have built.
The new engine will be used on a 32-foot long boat with a shed, which has been recently built with funding from the Parent Teachers’ Association (PTA) of St. Lust Primary School, the Wiruni Village Council and members of the surrounding communities.
The main purpose of MPS providing the engine is to ensure that all the students who require motorized transport, are provided with such a facility daily. They deserve the right to travel in a safe and timely manner to and from school, Stanley Ming said.
The students come from the various surrounding communities and number about 75.
The schedules and operations of the engine and boat will be coordinated by the Captain of Wiruni, Telford King, the St. Lust Primary School Head Teacher Mrs. Henrietta Sampson and the Chairperson of the PTA, Mrs. Ehourta Barker.
