Message from the Vice Chancellor Message from The Vice Chancellor Professor Ivelaw Lloyd Griffith “I was and still am that same ship which carried me to the new shore, the same vessel containing all the memories and dreams of the child in the brick house with the toy tea set. I am the shore I left behind as well as the home I return to every evening.” – Lusia A. Igloria Whether or not any Guyanese in the Diaspora grew up in brick houses or had toy tea sets, the essence of the reflections above by distinguished Filipina-American poet and scholar Luisa Aguilar Igloria is as pertinent to the realities of the Guyanese Diaspora as it is to the Filipino Diaspora, in which context it was made. Guyanese who left the shore behind, for whatever reason, generally are not just caught in the shore-home whirlpool, but often are passionate about aiding people and practices back home. Yet, quite often the passion is manifested more in platitudes, with dreaming, and less in practices, with doing. The gap between dreaming and doing often derives from insufficient institutional facilitation of the shore-home engagement. This is a Guyana reality, as it is one in many other places. This conference—and the Centre to be established—reflect our University’s willingness to help address the shore-home engagement gap, to help enable our nation to move beyond Dreaming Diaspora Engagement to Doing Diaspora Engagement, and to do so mindful of our racial, political, demographic, and socio-economic realities at home and abroad. Welcome, then, to DEC 2017—this historic Dreaming and Doing Engagement Experience! I encourage you to make full use of the opportunities offered this week. This is a week of many moving parts—academic and policy conversations, community give backs, a Know Guyana Day, the second meeting of our Education Resource Ambassadors, my investiture—the first time a UG Vice Chancellor will be officially installed as Chief Executive and Chief Academic Officer—and a cultural extravaganza. Needless to say, DEC 2017 would not be a reality had it not been for the incredible work of the planning committee, the business and governmental cosponsors, university staff, and volunteers. I extend thanks to one and all! 2017 DIASPORA ENGAGEMENT CONFERENCE 1 Diaspora Engagement Conference Team Professor Ivelaw Griffith Dr Fitzgerald Yaw Mr Donald (Danny) Ainsworth Mr Chetwynd Bowling Principal and Vice-Chancellor Director, Office of Strategic Assistant Director Director, Slingshot Funding Inc.

  • Rapid Assessment – Awareness and Attitudes to Domestic Violence and Child Abuse in Guyana
    Rapid Assessment – Awareness and Attitudes to Domestic Violence and Child Abuse in Guyana Community/Police Outreach of the Domestic Violence Prevention Initiative funded through the UNIFEM Trust Fund for Violence Against Women Help & Shelter, June 2005 Executive Summary Help & Shelter conducted a rapid assessment of attitudes and knowledge about domestic violence and child abuse to inform its public education and advocacy strategy. The methodology involved the use of face to face and telephone interviews. The following groups were consulted:- i) Individuals ii) Organisations iii) Police stations iv) Magistrate’s Courts The results of this survey indicate that there is growing public knowledge about the dynamics of domestic violence and child abuse, but still limited knowledge of the Domestic Violence Act (DVA) and its implementation. Most respondents believed that domestic violence is on the increase, and felt that the police have a greater role to play in alleviating domestic violence and child abuse. Despite the wider awareness in different regions around Guyana about the dynamics of domestic violence, it appears that the knowledge has yet to be transformed into effective action e.g. development of counseling services, advocacy for implementation of the DVA and the punishment/rehabilitation of perpetrators. The survey did not seek out survivors of domestic violence or child abuse. In January 1999, Help & Shelter in collaboration with Red Thread conducted a survey of police stations and courts to determine the level of awareness of the DVA. The scope of that survey was slightly different from the current survey, but comparisons between some of the results of the two surveys have been made.

National Assembly Speeches Volume 4 © National Assembly of Guyana Cover design by Peepal Tree Press All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced or transmitted in any form without permission. ISBN 978-1-907493-83-6 2 Biographical Summary Scholar : Linden Forbes Sampson Burnham was born to a Headmaster father and a devout Christian mother on February 20, 1923. His scholastic career is one of the outstanding features of his life. He went from Kitty Methodist School to Central High School and then to Queen’s College in 1935 and one year later gained the Centenary Exhibition as well as a Government Junior Scholarship. In 1937, he won the Percival Exhibition Award and in 1942 he won the coveted Guyana scholarship. The war prevented him from proceeding to University overseas and he therefore read externally for a degree from London University. After the war, he proceeded to read Law at Gray’s Inn, winning the best speaker’s cup in the process. But the Law could not hold him. Politics was in his blood. Several Caribbean Leaders, especially Errol Barrow of Barbados have testified how Burnham and others “tired the sun with talking” on all subjects political. The destiny of Guyana and the Caribbean region claimed his attention. Left wing politics attracted him and soon Burnham was involved with the youth arm of the Communist party of Britain and the politics of the Caribbean students.
