Dozens of Guyanese in the hurricane-ravaged British Virgin Islands (BVI) poured their woes out to a government team yesterday amid worries about the shortage of food and water, immigration issues and schooling for their children.
Getting their children into the Guyana school system while the island chain rebuilds following the destruction wrought by Hurricane Irma was one of the main concerns of persons who met with government’s needs assessment team yesterday in the main BVI island of Tortola.
“One of the very important things that we are going to need, especially for children that are going back is to what region of Guyana they are going. Because obviously if they are going to have to be absorbed into schools, government will need to know if it is Region 9, or region whatever,” a member of the government’s Needs Assessment Team, told attendees yesterday in Tortola.
