“They really have funded some very wide-ranging projects, that go from people who are nine yrs-old in the RASSR project, all the way up to students, to the infrastructure parts, as well as the lectures part. I think that without their kind of support over the last few years, we would have really not been able achieve a lot of the things that we’ve been doing”
Prof. Paloma Mohamed-Martin Vice-Chancellor, University of Guyana
