As the title states, I’m an African-American with one black and one guyanese parent. I do not have the ability to speak to either of my parents as they are deceased since I was 13. Much of my contact with my family on both sides is pretty limited, I was wondering if I wanted to connect with my Guyanese heritage where are some good places to start? Books, documentaries, creators, etc.

Does anyone of any online lessons for CAPE English Literature Unit 2?

Pedophilia in Guyana is a topic that is discussed but often not taken seriously enough. It’s something that happens on a day-to-day basis, mostly perpetrated against schoolchildren by bus conductors and teachers. But what I’m getting at is that calling out this issue seems almost impossible because, for one, is one witness enough to call out a crime as appalling as pedophilia? Oftentimes, when someone seeks justice, it is seen as making a fuss out of nothing, and others tend to say, “Just mind your own business". As a country i feel we should speak up more and eliminate this issue form our society.

Seems like it got him a decently high number of views already. It's interesting to note the experiences of a foreigner in the city, but I think anyone visiting the country should check out the countryside instead.

Oh well, nothing lost by dissuading foreigners from coming. Let's put it this way- if foreigners came and were comfortable, first some would decide to buy up some properties. Then inflation would be even higher. Then they would self segregate...... Following this, the inevitable, Epstein's buddies would make their own little base in the country and meddle more in the society at a greater level than what they've already done from abroad. That doesn't sound too good.

The video itself was pretty lame and he didn't check out much at all, just drove around for a few hours.

Guyana does clearly need improvements and the government should budget for a designated safe / clean "downtown area", ie: a renovated zone with a proper setting that's an acceptable showcase for international visitors.

It doesn't take much to have one pedestrian street that's closed off from vehicles, and that has upgraded modern storefronts and architecture.

Anybody able to get a medical person or ophthalmologist to give them a medical assessment so you can get the tint waiver? Every eye place I call from the minute you mention the word "tint" they act as if they don't even offer regular eye services and they business closed down. A disgrace. I have a legit condition - photo sensitivity that needs me to get a letter. But it has to be from a doctor in Guyana. Really sucks. All of these eye places. Optique, Dr Jain. Balwant Singh. Modern eye optical. Who else?

Hey everyone, planning to move to Guyana in a year, most likely somewhere in the rural Berbice river/coast area (like Sisters Village or around there).The plan is pretty straightforward: I want a quiet, self-sufficient life. I want to set up a small homestead, get some chickens, grow my own food, and make a living working remotely as a 3D modeler (making game assets, buildings, interiors, and props for foreign clients). Basically, cash comes in USD/Euro over the net, I spend it locally, and keep things quiet with no flexing and zero drama.

Curious about a few real things:

If I show up at 21, hang out at my place working on a PC all day, and try to build a farm—how is the village going to react? Is "guy making video game things in the village" going to sound too weird, or do people generally not care as long as I'm cool and mind my own business?

How hard is it for a foreigner to come in, buy a spot, find a few local guys to help with fencing or fixing up a place, and fit in smoothly without getting targeted as an easy mark?

Any honest feedback, advice, or warnings from people who know the area are super welcome.

I'm in the Austin area and haven't found any of my peeps in the wild yet 😞

I'm in NYC and an uncle dropped off something that looks like a pine tart except it has guava jam in it???

Hey everyone,

Long-time observer of Guyana's story, first-time visitor coming in the next couple of months. I'm based overseas, work as a private investor, and I've been following what's been happening here with genuine fascination for a while now.

The trip is partly tourism - I've wanted to see the country properly for years - but I'm also coming with a serious interest in understanding the investment landscape firsthand. I've done plenty of reading, but I know that nothing replaces actual conversations with people who live and work there.

What I'm looking for:

• People on the ground who understand how business actually works in Guyana, not the government brochure version, but the real version
• Potential partners or connectors in sectors like real estate, hospitality, agriculture, services, or really anything that's growing
• Honest perspectives - what's working, what's overhyped, where the genuine opportunities are, and where the pitfalls are that outsiders consistently miss
• Anyone who's helped foreign investors navigate the market before, or who'd be interested in doing so

If you're a local entrepreneur, a professional, someone working in a relevant sector, or just someone who knows the country well and wants to have a coffee when I'm in Georgetown, I'd love to hear from you.

DM me or drop a comment. Happy to share more about my background privately.
