A new roadway linking three of Wakapoa’s island communities in the lower Pomeroon area, in Region Two, built by self-help, was recently opened.

A release from the US Embassy in Georgetown said the $73.4 million project was made possible through the hard work and dedication of the people of Wakapoa Mission, US Peace Corps Guyana Volunteer Lesley Allenby, and US non-governmental organisations Builders Beyond Borders (B3), Friends and Returned Peace Corps
