Greetings! I'm Bertram Persaud, a passionate teacher located in the serene Mission, Barima-Waini, Guyana. Growing up amidst the vibrant blend of cultures that define our nation—be it the rich traditions of our Indigenous peoples, the flavorful cuisine that ranges from spicy pepper pot to sweet black cake, or the rhythmic sounds of soca and chutney—I’ve developed a profound appreciation for the diversity that shapes our identity. I believe education is not just about textbooks; it’s about understanding and celebrating our unique heritage.
In my classroom, I strive to instill pride in my students by connecting lessons to our local landmarks, such as the stunning Kaieteur Falls and the lush expanses of the Amazon rainforest. I often share stories of our ancestors—Africans, East Indians, Chinese, Portuguese, and Indigenous peoples—who have contributed to the dynamic society we live in today. I also encourage my students to look beyond our borders and connect with the wider Guyanese diaspora across the globe, reinforcing the idea that we are all part of a larger community, united by our shared roots.
As I engage with both students and the community, my goal is to foster a sense of belonging and responsibility. I often remind my students that while they may feel the pull of opportunities abroad, the heart of Guyana remains a vital part of who they are. So whether we’re discussing local history or the importance of sustainability, I aim to equip them with the knowledge and values necessary to navigate their futures while honoring their heritage.
