Guyanese are not compassionless

Dear Editor,

Could it be our lack of response and perceived compassion as a people/nation to the recent suffering and destruction caused by Cyclone Idai be attributed to matters of national import which caused us to lose focus of other happenings around the world?

This lapse should not be an indictment or be seen as such, for we are not compassionless.

Yours faithfully,

Shamshun Mohamed
