“I have appreciated the opportunity to share with you some facets of my service to Guyana to the international community through my various vocations/interests. It has been a privilege and a source of pride to watch people like you, Muriel, and many others go out into the world through the portals of Bishops’ High school, have outstanding careers and make sterling contributions to society.

I hope that my presentation on the benefits of membership in the Olive Baden-Powell Society of the WAGGGS (World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts) will be successful in encouraging Caribbean Girl Guide “alumnae” to seek more information and to consider either joining, or sponsoring someone from their country to join. Go to UnitedNationsYak.groupsite.com and leave a message or question for Carmen Jarvis or for more information go to: WesternWagggsWorld.  Thank you again.” (more…)
