“For those who lack the will to change or to challenge the limitations placed upon themselves and others, we need to support and encourage them to transform their lives for the better in whatever way we can.” 

Beryl “Bobby” Adams-Haynes

She has received numerous awards and worked relentlessly to ensure that Plaisance, a community on the East Coast of Demerara, does not fade into obscurity.
Her achievements, too many to count, may be blamed on her teachers who constantly goaded her. Or it may have been largely in part of the fact of who Beryl “Bobby” Adams-Haynes is.

 A teacher for 26 years, she was born in 1944 in her beloved village of Plaisance to George and Ursula Pereira. She was the eighth of 12 children.
She was an ordinary “country girl” and married to Dennis Haynes with the union producing three children- Ian, Kim and Fay.  She also has seven grandchildren.
Haynes attended Plaisance Methodist School where she completed her primary education under the stewardship of Headmaster F.A Cruickshank. She then went on to Chatham High School in the city where she successfully gained the College of Preceptors Examination Certificate.     [more  …A Plaisance girl – Beryl “Bobby” Adams-Haynes]
