A sense of pride and boldness, Guyana is moving forward

TIMES INT'L

Dear Editor,

There is an intangible success of Guyana and it is most observed in the young people and it is the level of pride and creativity that illuminates from the youths of Guyana today.

It is undeniable that it is part of the long term vision and strategy of the PPP/C. This was a vision that Dr Jagan saw and made sure he set the tone for it to be realized. Today we see this being maintained by the current leaders of the PPP/C.

My own experience and observation tells a story of a Guyana that has made great strides in empowering young people to be more creative, confident and risk takers with pride in their homeland.

This is a result of the government’s long term investment to make our future secure in the hearts and minds of youths.

For many decades, we were a passive and risk adverse group of people that always seems to look at other cultures and countries as better than us.

When we see a foreigner, we would spread red carpet for them and ignore ourselves. Now we still spread the carpet, but out of pride in ourselves, our country and our accomplishments.

This new way of doing things and thinking did not fall upon us by accident; it was cultivated and factored into a strategy of a sense of respect for ourselves and our ability to be recognized in the world as a progressive and industrious country that have something to add to the world scene.

This realization that we see today is a product of visionaries driving a country forward by way of the PPP/C starting with the leadership of Minister Ramsammy on global Health and Bharat Jagdeo on the environment.

A kind of progress that the Opposition can only look upon with envy, greed and nothing but a desire to destroy it and in the process implode the country under their limited vision and don’t ask me how I know, because then I will be forced to tell you about their track record in the past.
