Rumors of a fundraiser

I heard through the grapevine that Guyana will be hosting another fundraiser for the people of Niger, good for the People of Niger but bad for Guyanese. We are currently going through a flood probem. All over the country Guyanese are starving for help but we find it fit to help others. Have we forgotten the parable taught to us as children? "Charity begings at home."

How about a fundraiser for the 600 residents of Berbice that are living in shelters, a situation none of them may have imagine to happen to them. How about the farmer in number 2 canal that has lost his crops this season as a result of the floods, forcing him to take his kids out of school. The Koker in Bellevue that needs repairing. Have we gone mad? I remeber once when I was just a little boy, the bus shed in my village, Stanleytown, needed repair. The entire community came out and repaired that shed, self help. Now our community needs help and we see it fit to help people thousand of mile away.



Helping is always good. Help your own first and then they will be able to help others better. Come on leaders, this is an election year, prove yourself. Sorry, I forgot you have notthing to prove, the winners of this election have already been chosen.
