Following along with 2018 Young Leaders of the Americas

After attending a two-day skill-building conference in Detroit, Michigan, the Guyana YLAIers and their 250 counterparts from all over South America and the Caribbean went to work with a fellowship host company in one of 20 cities across the United States.
Chosen to represent Guyana this year are: Jaianan Hirai, co-founder of the A+ Computer Training Cen-ter, Evie Kanhai-Gurchuran, co-founder and CEO of Java Coffee Bar, an artisanal coffee shop in Georgetown and Nigel Anthony Peters, founder of Arcadia Agri, a cultivator of organic fruits and vege-tables in Guyana. The participants are currently developing specific action plans to accelerate their businesses’ success upon returning to Guyana, and building networks and lasting partnerships to sup-port their entrepreneurial ventures. After four weeks, the Fellows will spend time in Washington, DC to engage with entrepreneurs and U.S. government officials before returning to Guyana. (US Embassy photo)
