The other more troubling problem was the suspicion and unwilling cooperation they received from their Guyanese co-workers who felt that their own positions were threatened. Then, they had to listen to unkind remarks like: "Wheh yuh bin all de time? Yuh cut and run and we stay and struggle."

So, I don't think Joe Harmon's call will yield results. The mindset of Guyanese at home hasn't changed towards those of us living overseas.

Gil that mentality has to be stopped from the top.
