Guyana: Education: GofundMe for a school library in Better Hope, Essequibo Coast

Robert G. Lawrie, President of Project Unite Humanity Inc., a Florida not-for-profit corporation, is organizing an endeavor to establish a library at the Better Hope Government School.

Although residing in Florida, his Guyanese roots have drawn him and his organization to help create this library to benefit the children of this area.

Project Unite Humanity is seeking donations to help fund the purchase of books and supplies to begin the first ever library in Better Hope. The library will be dedicated this summer in time before the beginning of the new school year. Anyone can be a part of this effort by making donations to the fund set up on gofundme.com at https://www.gofundme.com/ BetterHopelibrary

With my deepest respect,

Thank you for your donation

Rob Lawrie

U.S. — Solitary confinement – arbitrary, racist punishment that breaks the body and the mind

 -By Mohamed Hamaludin – Commentary

Few survival stories can equal that of three African American men who spent a total of 114 years confined in small concrete boxes, subjected to mental and physical torture, and emerged with their spirit unbroken.

Alfred Woodfox spent 43 years and 10 months in solitary confinement and Henry Wallace, 41 years, both convicted in 1972 of killing a police officer. Robert King, convicted of killing a corrections officer, spent 29 years in isolation. The courts eventually overturned their convictions. King was set free in 2001 and Woodfox in 2016. Wallace was freed in 2013 but by then he was dying of liver cancer.  All three were members of the Black Panther movement.        Continue reading →
