An East Canje, Berbice woman has returned from the Netherlands to fulfil her father’s dream and last wishes by opening an eco-lodge in New Forest, East Canje where he once operated a sawmill many moons ago.
Nirmala Ramessar, and husband, Bram Van Velzen, on Saturday launched the first ever eco-lodge to be located in New Forest along the Canje Creek. According to Ramessar, “We thought that this would be an enrichment, a spot where persons can go and just be themselves.”
She said the idea of the project was birthed about fifteen years ago but that works sped up a few years back after her father’s last words to her were, “Did you abandon your project?”
