Supply Primary School

Project Description: Blossoms worked with the Supply Primary School to renovate the school’s library. The renovation of the library required us to replace the broken windows to stop rain and moisture from getting into the room. We repaired the shelves used for the books and repainted them. We also repainted the room with a bright and child-friendly hue of blue. We then cleaned out the room and repacked the shelves with over 400 books donated by Blossoms. We donated a computer, projector, and rug to create a library and media center. We also donated an additional 200 books in 2019 and another 300 books bringing the total number of books donated to over 1,000; along with a new computer in 2020 to expand the library. In 2022 we also donated a printer to the school to allow to support the teachers and faculty.

Like many schools in Guyana, Supply Primary School lacks access to technology and internet services. To help bridge the technology divide, Blossoms has been funding the school’s internet services. Providing the Internet resource significantly improves the way students learn as well as what they learn. Students who participate often are more engaged with lessons that incorporate content-related videos. Teachers can now leverage online teaching aids to help supplement in-class learning. Because of internet availability, students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaborative skills, especially during group activities. The current textbooks of Supply Primary School remain obsolete as the internet provides newly updated material. Because of the content accessed online, internet availability changed the overall curriculum of Supply Primary School.
