Dear Editor,
joy of owning personal homes was evident as some families from Manawarin, Region One received keys to their new homes as part of the Housing Ministry’s Hinterland Housing Pilot project.
So now some of these individuals and their families are free to move from very poor dwelling conditions into well constructed three-bedroom houses, while the others who were living in very remote areas can now move closer to access basic services such as education and health.
Home ownership comes with responsibilities as such they (the owners) will have to ensure that the buildings are properly maintained so that they can remain livable for years to come. I think Amerindians know this – left on their own for centuries, they preserved their environment. They are the epitome of sustainability.
When industrialisation struck, it was not their fault that many forested regions went awash. We have now come to really realise how valuable these people are.
Now they can sing and read. They have lights and computers. Now with their own homes, I am sure that their contribution will be quite impactful on the national scale.
Yours faithfully,
Desmond Walker
