Hey Light, this is community of not just children, there are adults who failed to supervise,the Govt. didn’t light the candles that caused this tragedy and they can’t hand feed every mouth and wipe every behind.
So in closing, you need to lighten up.

A very viable option with renewable energy. I was trained in this technology at UG, a very big potential in Guyana.

What potential unrealise we have.

Sad to kno that the gov/t is unable to meet the needs of the people and when that happens the gov’t is not effective.
Hats off to the rotary club

Cochore, paramountcy and socialism were Burnham type of governance, not today’s.

The people you are referring to are the ones who cry the loudest. DON’T GENERALIZE. That statement is totally unfair.

Congratulations to everyone involved, for this wonderful project which should be emulated by other organisations and individuals .
The Amerindian Affairs minister Ms. Pauline Sukhai should pursue establishing similar projects in other communities of the interior, especially, the one in which three children were burnt to death, in a school facility, largely due to government’s negligence and mismanagement.
Many other poor and vulnerable communities and individuals, needs skill training, micro and medium businesses – and the loans, land, a quantity of goats, pigs, ducks or a piece equipment, machinery etc; to help lift these individuals and communities from economic insecurity and desperation.
This will help teach poor and vulnerable individuals and communities to provide for themselves, instead, of constantly ‘ giving them a fish ‘ – perpetuating their dependency on charity and government handouts.
Hopefully, the Rotary and similar organisations, religious, NGO’s etc; can target poverty reduction and elimination, as one of the main goals in their work.
This will help bring about significant change and social stability, which is in great demand, at the grassroot level of the society.
Kudos again to the Rotary Club and everyone invoved, for this ‘ solid ‘ help to the needy community !

These are typical Guyanese who grew up in an era where government dictated evreything including how they think.

The PPP Gov’t of Guyana claims socialism as their governing style, where the gov’t is paramount and every national development flows to and fro through them. Similarly, the PNC regimes during the Burnham/Hoyte years employed the same paramountcy tatics for governing. This is what the Guyanese people are accustomed to.

Therefore, blaming the people for looking to the gov’t first is very unfair, given the existing system over the years in Guyana. Change that out-dated system of paramountcy and you’ll see the natural ingenuity of the Guyanese people surface. They will begin to do stuff for themselves and their communities like everybody else.

So put the blame where it truely belongs– The system of gov’t and not the people.

Apparently many people seem to think that the government has a never ending supply of money to provide services to every remote location in Guyana. In the US many homeowners in remote communities have the burden of drilling their own wells for potable water supply because it is not cost effective for local water utility companies to do so.

That being said, kudos to the Rotary club for expending this large sum of money to make the lives of our less fortunate a little bit easier.

This type of venture has proven to be very sucessful and should be studied more in Guyana, not only for those who can afford it but for poor Guyanese in outlying areas who struggle with water and electricity woes.

Shows that when there is the will the ‘people’ can conceive and achieve without the help and interference of the Central Government. This is wonderful for a Community that has not seemed to have gotten much help from traditional sources!

come on fitz you’re living in a country whose water supply is quite abundant as well, yet much of the water consumed is recycled, so don’t be so harsh on Guyana

Impressive to learn of this upgrade, even more by a club. As I always say any progress is good progress. What I would like to know is does the government support this club in any way…
Since this and many other clubs have been improbving the life of people is communities.
