Looks like Tola's organization is not doing such a good job, these other guys find it necessary to set up their own suicide NGO: ‘The Hope is Rising’,

NGO strives to reduce suicide in Guyana


 

 

An organization that is bent on decreasing the alarming rates of suicide in Guyana has collaborated with the Ministry of Social Protection to move Guyana from being labeled as one of the countries with the highest rates of suicide in the World.
‘The Hope is Rising’, a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) in collaboration with the Ministry of Social Protection, launched a concert which will be held at the National Stadium on November 3rd, 2017. The event was launched last evening at the Regency Hotel. The concert is expected to include performances from popular local and international gospel artistes.
It is promised to be not only one with a difference, but one which will transform lives.
It was organized by Christians in Guyana who have recognized the need for an intervention and cooperation between the church and the government to eliminate suicide.

An official from the NGO, Melissa Davy said, “We are going to be having the Travis Greene celebration of Life Concert. This is actually the launch of the activity. We have many stakeholders here; we have pastors, businessmen and women, persons from all parts of society are here today. A lot of them are very influential people. This organization is non-profit, and all of us who are in the organization actually have our own jobs or businesses, but we work together to reduce poverty through job creation, which will eventually reduce suicide and violence. We are working in partnership with the Ministry of Social Protection, they have come onboard and are supporting.
“The organization has realized that there are a number of people in society who are hurting and in despair and might feel hopeless, but we are here to help those people and to encourage them to use their skills to become a more productive person and in the process minimizing not only poverty, but suicide.”
Persons attending the concert at the National Stadium can expect performances from international artiste, Travis Greene and his band, Saiku; Sherwin Gardener, Samuel Medas, Cherlyn Melony, Cassandra Keise, Kester Deane and several other artistes.
The Hope is Rising is a NGO which was established in April of this year and is an arm of the Philia Foundation, which has been in existence since 2008. It is a ‘faith based organization’ that works along with various churches, the government and the public sector. The aim of the institution is to cooperate with other institutions with the intent of eradicating poverty and suicide in Guyana through the creation of jobs. It is led by Pastor Joseph Persaud.
In previous ventures, the association was able to provide jobs through Qualfon and the Ministry of Social Protection, who implemented a ‘job bank’ to help persons find a job that matches their qualifications.

What reason would anyone have for such nasty negative comment of a noble cause? You crave attention this much?

Suicide groups are mushrooming like dandelions inside and outside Guyana to combat the scourge in Berbice, Demerara and Essequibo. Why would a poster want to single out Tola if not for mischief and provocation?

Don't talk about mischief.  You have been found guilty of Giving out inaccurate information about people's personal lives to other posters solely for the purpose of mischief making.  As such you are no authority on the subject since you lost credibility.

Read the article again.  It's about suicide.  And if you don't believe me, ask somebody else.  They will tell you it's about suicide.

Suicide is everybody's business. I am delighted to see people and organizations taking up the mantle to help spread the word that life is precious. I tip my hat to àll that making a difference in suicide prevention.

No, just West of Scarborough, off of Don Mills. It is said this is an area with the largest group of Muslims in Ontario...and possibly Canada.

This is not a negative comment, it is an observation that for such a small country, 2 or more NGO will be competing for the same funding and will not be as effective as they will be spending most of the funds on maintaining two different organizational structures, advertising, outreach personnel etc. Get your mind out of the gutter.

Look, it is not my business that your head in the gutter but there is more to this than the eyes can see. 

Apparently this organization "the hope is rising" seem to have done a study and determined that jobs will cure suicide:

"“The organization has realized that there are a number of people in society who are hurting and in despair and might feel hopeless, but we are here to help those people and to encourage them to use their skills to become a more productive person and in the process minimizing not only poverty, but suicide.”"

In fact, most of the suicide cases I have read about in Guyana involve mental issues over relationships gone bad rather than people killing themselves over lack of good jobs. 

Tola et al were not addressing this, neither is this new group. Based on what I read, they are doing a concert at the stadium to raise cash but I wonder if this is a scam or what percentage of the money will actually go to help people.

What is Tola and his organization doing and why are you displeased with it? Did you really need a study to understand the impact of gainful occupation on the psyche? How will a non-profit organization go about providing jobs for the citizens of a country? If they cannot do that, how can they help?

I see you also determined that the reason for suicide in Guyana is due to lack of jobs and no analysis is needed. This is not surprising as this is how the PNC is running Guyana today, bypass studies and come up with solutions off the top of their heads. 

If you did a cursory study based on news paper articles, you would note that at least 99% of the suicide cases are due to mental issues related to relationships and not to job loss.  But as a PNC operative, this will not resonate with your wrang and strang mentality.

There is a group going to Guyana from England on 6th October 2017, to assist with the suicide problem, they will be travelling to all three counties. Many of these guys are specialists in this field, I am trying to get another doctor from Toronto to join them ,but he recently lost his father, he may still go later.Guyana has doctors and nuff lawyers ,but no specialists in the field of mental problems, we are quick to call people MAD, but never think that there is a solution. Please note, these mental specialists are paying their own way,and donating their time and resources.

Please explain your arrival at this conclusion. Or is this just more of your usual Rat groupie thoughtless and asinine behavior?

Who in the world would believe that you studied newspaper articles on suicide?

Are you denying that lack of gainful occupation impacts people mentally and emotionally?

Don't play stupid. If you were following the daily news out of Guyana you would know that the majority of suicide were crimes of passion and mental health not related to lack of employment.  Lack of employment does not drive people to suicide, it drive them to rob.   You should know this as PNC supporters are known as skillful robbers.

You may be on to something here. At the very least his organization has been ineffective if you consider the measure of his success as result based.

How do you measure success? What cost do you put on a human life? Please answer honestly. As far as I am concerned, if one life was saved, it's success.
