And when you get up in life somebody kill you

Good Business in Guyana

And a loan with schooling is easily available from IPED: Land is available on the Linden Soesdyke Highway.

Chances in life to be successful should be taken.

That is the fear that is embedded in "most" Guyanese. For the faint at heart, sit around and wait for remittance. People like myself who is married and have kids in America, it's difficult for us to re-migrate and do business. There're many deportees that arrive in Guyana without choices and this may be a good advice to them, unless they're sweet skin and hope to steal to make living. I am talking about selective farming that is in demand.

Let's consider ourselves fortunate from those who make the unwise decisions. They deserve a second chance to make a decent life and get back into society. Are you with me?

A leopard never loses his spots. Once a thieving and dishonest Guyanese, always a thieving and dishonest Guyanese.

They deserve a second chance

Do you get a second chance twice, they got a second chance when they left and came here, and then again like Mr"T" said.

That's the sound of our political comrades. Their thievery is more like a business to them.

Inventing a marketable product that every Guyanese would use is a start of a successful future. I am considering a product that may be already in the US market that Guyanese imports. Let say a product that is cheaper, and easily obtainable. Guyanese purchase tools, household appliances and many small items that make life easy and convenient.

Name some of the things Guyanese can invent?

Not an invention but make some colorful Pointa broom

In Guyana, I was taught that the coconut tree is the most treasured plant ever to grow where no part is wasted. I still believe that with the spirit to revisit the coconut tree with invention ideas. Colorful brooms are just the beginning.

Does Guyana have the soil/weather for bamboo? Bamboo has become quite popular recently. I've seen clothing/rugs made from bamboo and I find the items quite good.
Same goes for hemp clothing and accessories.
Bamboo and Hemp just doesn't stop growing,they just keep growing and growing and...

T-Bone, not because you're successful and live abroad you must speak in general terms. Apart from deportees that you don't like obviously, there are every day Guyanese at home who're thinking to make a living for his family and children. It's not fair to jump on everyone's with a negative thought. Think positive once in a while and lend a helping hand to your fellow Guyanese.

There are overseas retired Guyanese who have gone back to assist the unemployed and youth.
There is even a program for the deportees, who feel the program is too slow and they are back in jail.
The main problem for anyone returning to live in Guyana is a system of bribery and lack of efficiency.
Crime, another block, is not even included here.

"This is how we do it in Guyana" does not cut it, when returned Guyanese are used to decades of getting things done within a resonable time and dont have to pay extra to those who already earn a salary to do a job.

The huge roadblock is government officials who want a raise for things to happen for an NGO.
When funds are donated to do the work in Guyana, its pretty hard pressed to give bribes to free loading government officials.

Bribery is not a hidden issue anymore, money is openly passed at government offices to bypass the lineup.
If the government is serious about reducing corruption in Guyana, it can easily be done with sting operations, but when you are a member of the gang doing it, you cant call the kettle black.

You can't go wrong selling food or drinks. You don't have to compete with Shanta, Demico, etc.
Just a small stand will do. If you are familiar with the Kitty area, there is a lady from Buxton who comes down every night and sells black pudding, chicken foot soup, etc., and within 2 hours she is sold out. Her stand is on Alexander St, north of Barr St. When I tell my relatives they can do the same thing they say it is too hard and make some other excuse. They rather sit down and wait for Western Union.

Dem must think we in North America and Europe don't have to work hard for we money. I stopped sending any money to Guyana long time ago. My needs are no less great than dem back home.

Early chinese immigrants to BG planted bamboo in the upper Demerara river area. It still grows wild in certain places.

Bamboo is a very useful plant in China. It is used for making fabrics among other things. Some type of bamboos is also edible.
