Dear Editor,
Good things indeed come to those who wait, and I am on cloud nine with Rio De Janeiro being chosen as the host city for the 2016 Olympic and Para-Olympic Games. It’s basically a drive over the Takutu bridge.
In neighbourly friendship, warmest congrats are extended to the Brazilian Ambassador and the people of Brazil for this amazing achievement. It is one that reflects on the entire continent of South America of which Guyana is very much a part and of which I am very proud.
This is the very first time that Olympic Games will be held in South America, I also believe that it should work in favour of the athletic ambassadors of Guyana.
Oprah, the Obamas (Chicago), Tokyo and Madrid, eat your hearts out. This is South America’s call to the world to shine.
Yours faithfully,
T. Pemberton
