Ms. Charmin and Mr. Philbert work at NAREI. Philbert is a driver and Charmin a clerk. One day our class teacher, Ms. Phillips took us on a field trip where we visited CARICOM, GUYSUCO AND NAREI. Our time spent at NAREI was awesome. We were shown the different departments. One brave pupil, Charlie, asked Ms. Charmin about the meaning of the word 78 NAREI. She told us that the word NAREI is an acronym that means National Agricultural Research and Extension Institute. Ms. Charmin then went on to explain to us the products that are made there. After our tour around the compound, she gave us huge packages of some of the products. We were so excited that we jumped for joy. We took a photograph with her, thanked her and then bid her farewell. On our way back to school we spoke of our day out. We all agreed that it was very informative.
