EMC Foundation, through its E-STEM Program, continues to collaborate with eighteen environmental clubs across the coast of Guyana. These include Queen’s College, The Bishop’s High School, St. Stanislaus College, St. Rose’s High, Marian Academy Primary and Secondary, School of the Nations Primary and Secondary, Saxacalli Primary, De Hoop Primary, Little Biaboo Primary, St. Cuthbert’s Primary and Secondary, Moraikobai Primary, Santa Aratak Primary, Wakapau Primary and Secondary and Warapoka Primary.
During February 2025, the primary and secondary environmental clubs focused on Ecosystems and Responsible Waste Management. For the Primary Work Plan, the topics completed were inclusive of Plant Adaptations, Traditional Uses of Plants, and Composting. Club members watched videos, created unique dioramas, prepared presentations and played fun games. For the Secondary Work Plan, the topics completed were inclusive of Animal Adaptations and IUCN and Plant Adaptations. Club members engaged in discussions, watched videos and participated in presentations.
The EMC Foundation engaged 84 students in the E-STEM program for February 2025. Activities consisted of discussions, presentations, and creative projects which all aided in fostering environmental awareness and practical learning.
In February 2025, the club members were fully engaged in their learning experiences. They participated enthusiastically by identifying different types of plants and animals in their environment and listing them, showing active interest in the topic. This highlights the members’ positive attitudes and active involvement in the environmental club activities.
The EMC Foundation was established by Mr. Shyam Nokta, winner of the 2022 Anthony N Sabga Award for Entrepreneurship. The Foundation works to support environmental awareness and education in Guyana by promoting activities which encourage a greater understanding of the environment, creating a network to connect like-minded persons, and providing opportunities to experience Guyana’s rich natural environment
