Indigenous Peoples of the Region

Indigenous peoples are culturally distinct ethnic groups whose members are directly descended from the earliest known inhabitants of a particular geographic region and, to some extent, maintain the language and culture of those original peoples. Peoples are usually described as “Indigenous” when they maintain traditions or other aspects of an early culture that is associated with the first inhabitants of a given region

GARIU Programs

                        Online and Face-face Courses.

GARIU offers a variety of relevant online and in-person courses to promote Garifuna culture and education in the diaspora

Annual Garifuna Language and Culture    Summer Camp (GLCSC)

Held every July, this camp provides immersive experiences in Garifuna language, cultural practices and citizenship.

                                           Indigenous Youth Progress Nest (IYPN)

This program tracks 60 students through their high school journey, offering financial, socio-emotional, and other support to reduce the risk of failure or dropping out.

An annual conference for these students is held every June.

     

                         Free Teacher Training

In response to teachers losing their licenses due to a lack of CPD credits, GARIU provides training at schools in Seine Bight, George Town, and Hopkins to help educators maintain their certifications.

     

                                                                                           Tuba Bouda Tutoring and Homework Hub

Many homes in our Garifuna villages lack internet connectivity, which limits students’ ability to complete homework assignments requiring online research. To address this, GARIU established the Tuba Bouda Homework Hub, located at a central village property owned by the GARIU Founder. The hub offers students access to the internet, laptops, and homework assistance, with support from teachers and parents who volunteer to staff the facility. We currently need additional laptops and funds to cover the monthly internet costs to ensure the hub remains operational.

SARC Community Literacy Program/ Tuba Bouda Tutoring and Home Work Hub

SARCS Literacy Intervention PEER Leadership Plan

Overview:

To address the critical literacy challenges faced by the students at St. Alphonsus Roman Catholic School (SARCS), where 90% of students are reading below grade level, two key leadership roles will be established. These roles will focus on coordinating the implementation of targeted literacy interventions, ensuring that teachers are meeting set literacy targets, and facilitating collaboration between teachers, tutors, and volunteers.

 

St. Alphonsus Roman Catholic School (SARCS) Sight Word Campaign Plan

Title: SARCS Whole-School Sight Word Campaign

Purpose:

Recent diagnostic assessments have shown that most of the students at SARCS are reading significantly below their expected levels. To address this, we are launching a Whole-School Sight Word Campaign to help students master 300 essential sight words over the school year. By learning these high-frequency words, students will improve their reading fluency, comprehension, and overall academic performance.
