The three Guyanese who participated in the Mr and Miss Deaf International pageant in Tanzania acquitted themselves well, resulting in two of them earning top places. Veteran Sheikh Mohamed copped second runner-up, while Anthonio Johnson was adjudged fourth runner-up at the November 27th competition. The other member of the trio was Reshma Seemangal.
Although their journey to Tanzania was not easy, Head of the Deaf Association Sabine McIntosh, told this newspaper, they proudly represented their homeland by showcasing various aspects of Guyanese culture and art. They lacked support from their homeland, they sadly shared, but they stepped out to dominate and educate their fellow hearing impaired pageant brothers and sisters about the beauty of Guyana.
