Central High School (Guyana)

Die Central High School ist eine weiterführende Schule in Georgetown, Guyana. Sie wurde 1927 von Joseph Clement Luck gegründet und wurde die größte private Bildungsinstitution im Land, sowohl für Grundschul- und Weiterführende Bildung. Geschichte Im September 2019 wurde bekannt gegeben, dass die Central High mit der St. Mary’s High School zusammengelegt wird, um „The New Central High School“ zu bilden. Später wurde dies jedoch als eine vorübergehende Fusion erklärt, die aufgrund von Problemen im Zusammenhang mit dem Zustand des ehemaligen Gebäudes der Schule vorgenommen worden sei, und der regionale Bildungsbeauftragte versicherte, dass der derzeitige Status der Schule mit Bewertung „A“ erhalten bleiben würde, während die St. Mary’s High School ausläuft.

Central High School, Guyana

Central High School was founded in Georgetown, Guyana, in 1927 by Joseph Clement Luck, and became the largest private educational establishment in the country, providing both primary and secondary education. In September 2019, it was announced that Central High was being merged with St. Mary's High School, to become "The New Central High School". However, this was subsequently explained as a temporary merger that was being taken because of issues connected with the condition of the school's former building, and reassurances were given by the Regional Education Officer that the school's current "A"-grade status would be retained while phasing out St Mary's High School.

St. Ignatius, Guyana

St. Ignatius is an Amerindian village in the Upper Takutu-Upper Essequibo region of Guyana, near the regional capital Lethem and the border of Brazil. It was originally a mission founded by Jesuit priests to serve the Amerindians in the Rupununi savannah. Kumu and Quarrie are satellite villages of St. Ignatius. Demographics The area was settled by Macushi and Wapishana people, later supplemented by Arawak. The village is mainly Roman Catholic or other Christian denominations. Wapishana, Macushi, and Patamona languages are spoken, while English and Portuguese are prominent second languages. History Jesuit Priest Cuthbert Cary-Elwes established a mission in 1909 to cater to the Amerindians of the Rupununi. The spot chosen was Ariwa (a Makushi word for a particular type of fish) and located on the right bank of the Takutu River River, near the Kanuku Mountains. The missionaries dedicated the mission to the founder of the Jesuits. Today St. Ignatius village is one of the largest Amerindian communities in the central Rupununi. "Self-help" is a part of the village culture, meaning to resolve issues without outside assistance. In 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, a guarded gate was constructed on the road to regulate traffic to the Takutu River, which had been used for illegal border-crossing from Brazil. Economy Cattle rearing, brick making, farming, fishing, and construction are all major economic activities of the village. Helping Hands Women Producers Cooperative Society has a factory that was built with assistance from the Canadian International Development Agency. It produces packaged snacks including cashew nuts and cassava bread, as well as school meals. Roasted cashews are a popular snack food in the area and grow wild in the Rupununi area. Services The village has a nursery, primary, and secondary school. The secondary school in St. Ignatius was opened by the Catholic missionaries, and is the oldest and largest in the region, with boarding facilities for students from remote areas. In 2017, a bilingual education program was launched for Wapishana language and English. There is a catholic church as well as a Jesuit-run Presbytery training Centre. St. Ignatius is on Lethem's electrical grid. In 2019, The Guyana Water Inc commissioned a $15M water supply system in the village which expanded the community's access to piped water. Governance is by an elected village council of toshao, deputy and councilors. The village is located on the main Georgetown-Lethem road and is separated from Lethem by the Moco-Moco Creek. References

Ambassade van Suriname in Guyana

De ambassade van Suriname in Guyana staat in de wijk Queenstown in Georgetown. De ambassade werd tussen april en november 1979 opgericht. Er was toen nog geen ambassadegebouw; een voorlopige vestiging werd gecreëerd in het Pegasus hotel in Georgetown. De heer Pocornie was voorlopig aangesteld als ambassadeur met een secretaresse die door de ambassade in Brasilia was vrijgemaakt. Ondertussen werd mevrouw Ridder-Rustwijk opgeleid die de leiding op de ambassade uiteindelijk zou overnemen. Voor de Surinaamse onafhankelijkheid op 25 november 1975 had Nederland geen ambassade in Guyana. De contacten verliepen in die tijd via de ambassade in Haïti. Een kwestie die vanaf de Surinaamse onafhankelijkheid decennia lang onopgelost is gebleven, is de grensbepaling in het Tigri-gebied. Tijdens dagenlange heftige ongeregeldheden na de dood van het elfjarige kind Adrianna Young sloot de ambassade eind april 2025 tijdelijk haar deuren.

Everest Cricket Club Ground

Everest Cricket Club Ground is a cricket ground in Georgetown, Guyana. History The ground was established in 1928, when the Everest Cricket Club relocated from their original Queenstown ground and acquired a lease on what was swampy land located a short distance from the ocean. The swampy land was quickly transformed into a cricket ground with a sizeable pavilion, with the ground being formally opened on 30 April 1928 by the Governor of British Guiana Cecil Hunter-Rodwell The ground was due to host its inaugural first-class match in the 1996–97 Red Stripe Cup between Guyana and Jamaica, but the match was abandoned. Therefore, the inaugural first-class match played there was between Guyana and a touring England XI in February 1998; since that match, a further four first-class matches were played at the ground, three of which hosted the touring South Africans, Indians and Australians. In addition to hosting first-class matches, the ground also hosted nine List A one-day matches between 1998 and 2011, mostly in the capacity of a neutral venue in the West Indian domestic one-day tournament. During the 2007 Cricket World Cup, the ground was one of two practice venues in Guyana. The ground was one of the venues for the 2022 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup, hosting two matches.

Camp Tigri

Camp Tigri or Camp Jaguar is a military camp and airstrip located in the Tigri Area. The area is disputed between Suriname and Guyana. Camp Tigri was constructed in 1968 by the Surinamese Defence Police. On 19 August 1969 there was a skirmish between the Defence Police and the Guyana Defence Force during which Camp Tigri was captured. The camp was subsequently renamed to Camp Jaguar. It is located about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) north of the indigenous village of Kasuela. History In 1871 a dispute arose between Great Britain and the Netherlands regarding the border between British Guiana and Suriname. Great Britain considered the Kutari River the border river while the Netherlands disagreed and argued that the New River constituted the border. There were several attempts at negotiation, however the status quo remained. In 1961, the Coeroenie Airstrip was built by Suriname on the edge of the Tigri Area. On 26 May 1966, British Guiana gained independence as Guyana, and the friendly relations between Suriname and Guyana rapidly deteriorated. In June 1966, the negotiations between the Netherlands, Guyana and Great Britain regarding the border broke down. In 1967, Surinamese workers of the Bureau Waterkrachtwerken (Office of Hydroelectric Works) arrived in Camp Oronoque, a camp on the Oronoque River which was built in 1936, to construct a weir. On 10 December 1967, a seaplane landed, and the pilot told the workers that they were trespassing on Guyanese soil. The remark was ignored, and the pilot left. On 12 December, four armed policemen arrived and ordered the workmen to leave the area. The workmen subsequently left. The Surinamese government requested military assistance from the Netherlands which was refused. In 1968, the Defence Police was established by the Surinamese prime minister Jopie Pengel and mainly consisted of former soldiers of the Netherlands Armed Forces in Suriname (TRIS). Four camps were established which included Camp Tigri near rapids of the Courantyne River. On 19 August 1969, two airplanes of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) landed in the vicinity of the camp. An exchange of gunfire followed. There were no casualties or wounded, but Margo van Dams was captured by Guyana. The GDF conquered the camp, and changed the name to Camp Jaguar. Van Dams was later released. The existence of Camp Jaguar used to be officially denied. In 2014, a soldier drowned when his boat capsized, and the existence of the military camp was confirmed. Since then, Camp Jaguar is mentioned in the press. An airstrip is located south of the camp. References
Kamp Tigri

Kamp Tigri of Camp Jaguar is een kampement en vliegbasis in het Tigri-gebied. Het ligt in een gebied dat wordt betwist door Suriname en Guyana. Kamp Tigri werd in 1968 aangelegd door de Defensie Politie. Op 19 augustus 1969 was er een vuurgevecht tussen de Defensie Politie en de Guyana Defence Force waarbij Camp Tigri werd veroverd. De naam van de basis werd gewijzigd in Camp Jaguar. Het kamp bevindt zich ongeveer 4 kilometer ten noorden van het dorp Kasjoe-eiland. Geschiedenis Het conflict over het Tigri-gebied dateert van 1871. Het Verenigd Koninkrijk was van mening dat de Koetari de grens was, en Nederland meende dat de Nieuwe Rivier de grens was. Er volgden verschillende onderhandelingen, maar de status quo bleef gehandhaafd. In 1961 werd de Coeroenie Airstrip door Suriname aangelegd op de grens van het Tigri-gebied. Op 26 mei 1966 werd Brits-Guiana onafhankelijk als Guyana, en de oorspronkelijk goede relatie tussen Suriname en Guyana verslechterde snel. In juni 1966 werden de onderhandelingen tussen Nederland, Guyana en het Verenigd Koninkrijk over het grensconflict afgebroken. In 1967 arriveerden Surinaamse werklieden van het Bureau Waterkrachtwerken in het Kamp Oronoque (), een kamp aan de Oronoque rivier dat in 1936 was gebouwd, om een stuw te bouwen. Op 10 december 1967 landde een watervliegtuig. De piloot vertelde de werklieden dat ze zich op Guyaans grondgebied bevonden, en moesten vertrekken. De opmerking werd genegeerd en de piloot vertrok weer. Op 12 december verschenen vier bewapende agenten van de Guyaanse politie, en sommeerden de werklieden het gebied te verlaten. De Suriname regering vroeg militaire steun aan Nederland, maar die werd geweigerd. In 1968 werd de Defensie Politie opgericht door Jopie Pengel die voornamelijk bestond uit voormalige soldaten van de Troepenmacht in Suriname (TRIS). Er werden vier kampen gebouwd waaronder Kamp Tigri bij een stroomversnelling van de Corantijn. Op 19 augustus 1969 landden twee vliegtuigen met manschappen van de Guyana Defence Force (GDF) in de buurt van het kamp. Er volgde een vuurgevecht waarbij geen doden of gewonden waren gevallen, maar Margo van Dams werd gevangen genomen. De GDF veroverde het kamp en wijzigde de naam in Camp Jaguar. Van Dams werd later weer vrijgelaten. Het bestaan van Camp Jaguar was altijd ontkend. In 2014 verdronk een soldaat toen zijn boot kapseisde, en werd het bestaan van de militaire basis toegegeven. Sindsdien wordt het kamp gewoon in de pers genoemd. Ten zuiden van het kamp bevindt zich een vliegbasis. Zie ook Grenzen van Suriname
