Amanda Jones, 60, badly wants to move out of the Parika Sea Dam, East Bank Essequibo with her foster daughter, 11,  and five grandchildren, as the area, which is prone to flooding and cannot be provided with water, electricity or good road, is not suitable to raise children. 

Besides, the house is not convenient and the owner wants them to find their own place.

At the time too, she was concerned that school had reopened and she was struggling financially and could not afford to send them.
