Exam Papers delivered. Mother's Day Labaria.

If your final test papers do not make it to your school on time, it's simple - you go home and wait for another year. Along with a load of hospital supplies, the 2012 exam papers were flown in to Aishalton secondary school to ensure that all those months of teaching and studying did not go to waste.

Every secondary student in the entire Caribbean (that includes the jungle of Guyana) takes their standardized 'CXC' exams on the same day. Since the content is identical throughout the Region, the schedules and security are tight. RAM is proud to partner with the Ministry of Education to deliver the exams and give these isolated students their best chance at a brighter future.

Pictured above is the smiling Ministry of Education Representative, Ms Boston, who along with a police escort, uplifted the test papers for safe keeping. 

Earlier Sunday morning a Labaria snake bit victim had to be evacuated from the mountain village of Yurong Paru along with a pregnant lady experiencing complications. Incidentally the crew got back to base just in time to witness the end of one of the most stunning games of football in the history of the English game.
And more importantly, special Mother's Day greetings to all our readers. On a visit to the Lethem hospital today, the mother who was recently evacuated from Sawariwau via the Bullock Cart was seen walking, smiling and ready to go home! A happy Mother's Day indeed.
