Youth Ministry offers several summer camp packages – over 10,000 children targeted

 

The Ministry of Culture Youth and Sport, as is usual, will afford over 10,000 children home on two months vacation the opportunity to participate in different activities that will teach them new things in a fun way.

 

These camps will be held in all 10 Administrative Regions and target 7,000 children, touching areas such as civic education.

 

There are also special sports camps which will be targeting over 3,000 other children. These camps will focus solely on physical education and sporting activities such as cricket, football, volleyball, swimming, and lawn tennis. They provide a fun, yet educational opportunity for children to get involved in sports, and also for those who may already be involved to better their skills.

The museums also will be hosting campaigns and workshops for children to educate them about their history, ancestry and roots, and to allow them to explore and experience new cultures and traditions. The Walter Roth Museum of Anthropology’s summer camp package includes the teaching of indigenous languages.

 

There is also the Pan Minors Music Literacy programme, which is another summer programme that teaches students about pan music. A total of 175 children will be benefit from this venture.

 

These camps promise to be exciting, educational and recreational, and are an ideal way for children to spend their summer and to have the opportunity of experiencing something new while making new friends, learning and at the same time having fun.

Murdered Mahaica farmer begged for his life

July 10, 2013 | By | Filed Under News 

Murdered: Omadat Persaud

For the past year or so, 27-year-old farmer Omadat Persaud waited patiently for his turn to migrate to the United States of America; but in the blink of an eye a bullet to the centre of his forehead snuffled out his life leaving his mother dumbstruck. Chan Persaud called ‘Aunty Chan’ had returned to Guyana to be with her son until he migrated, but instead she watched helplessly as a gunman pointed a gun at his head and pulled the trigger during a brutal robbery at their Supply, Mahaica home on Monday night. Like most mothers, ‘Aunty Chan’ did not immediately accept the fact that her only son had succumbed; she thought that he was hospitalized, so she even prepared breakfast and was sending it to the hospital for him yesterday morning. It was only then that she was told that Omadat had passed away hours earlier. Yesterday the distraught mother tried through sobs and tears to recall the events that led to her tragic state.  She told this newspaper that it was around 19:30 hours; she was upstairs in her two-flat house, while her daughter and son in law, Yogendra Naipaul and his wife Omadai , and their two children who had recently returned to Guyana on holiday, along with son Omadat were in the yard, when the bandits barged in. Two of the assailants were carrying guns and they quickly confronted their terrified victims. “I was upstairs and when I peep I see the guy in front of me son,” she said. According to ‘Aunty Chan’, her son froze and stared at the gunman who apparently thought that he had recognized him. Kaieteur News was told that Omadat Persaud knelt on the floor with his hands in the air and begged the gunman to spare his life. It was at this moment that the bandit, who had a black cloth covering a part of his face, cold-bloodedly squeezed the trigger. The elderly woman said that after witnessing that she ran to the front room of her house and began screaming in a desperate attempt to alert the neighbours. “I see he (killer) but he nah see me, so I had de chance to run at de end room and holler fuh me neighbour, ‘call people, call people thief man deh in de house, dem gat me son ah bottom deh’,” she recounted. This however did not deter the bandits, who proceeded to herd the rest of the family together in the house, demanding cash and other valuables. “Me son had a cutlass, dem pull out dat and lash me grandson. He’s only 13 years. Dem carry me daughter upstairs and seh dat dem want money, and she give dem. She say, ‘Ow, me ah give alyuh, but alyuh nah kill nobody’, but dem still kill she brother,” Aunty Chan said. The woman said that after the bandits left she went downstairs to her badly wounded son and cradled him in her arms, willing him to stay alive. “He open he mouth fuh talk and is suh de blood coming out ah he mouth,” she added. During the ordeal, the bandits also duct-taped the face of her granddaughter, to keep her from screaming. They also dealt Yogenrdra Naipaul a blow to his head with a gun. The armed men took away a quantity of jewellery and an undisclosed sum of US currency and escaped. “In twelve minutes dem finish do everything; kill me son and gone,” Mrs. Persaud lamented. A neighbour told this newspaper that she heard the screaming, but there was nothing that she or her husband could do. “When we hear de hollering, me peep out de window. I hear dem calling me husband, but den we hear gunshots,” the neighbour said. She stated that the bandits must have fled through the back of the Persaud’s yard since she did not see them leave through the front. Other residents recalled hearing the gunshots from relatively long distances away. “Awe hear bullet and hollering, but awe nah know was wha…is when everything done, den people come and see was wha,” another neighbour stated. Residents are convinced that the perpetrators are from the Mahaica area, since they seem to be targeting overseas visitors and they appeared to know the Persauds’ yard well. “How dem know fuh run through de back whey gat nuff bush?” one resident asked. They were not too complimentary of the police, claiming that ranks are often too slow to respond to reports of crime in the community. One resident told this newspaper that on most occasions the Mahaica Police Station is seriously understaffed. “In de nights is only one or two police does deh in deh. Dey use to gat patrol, now dem hardly gat police. Is only when people play loud music, and beat up dem wife, de police coming quick,” a Mahaica resident declared. Police said that they are questioning four suspects as they continue their probe into the farmer’s murder.

Dem boys seh … Young gyal mek Minister find new use fuh he mouth

July 10, 2013 | By | Filed Under Dem Boys Seh, Features / Columnists, News 

Is not only children does learn by example. Big people does do things when dem see others do de same thing.  Young see big people do things and dem decide that dem gun follow. That is how nuff of dem run in de bush fuh mek a dollar. But sometimes dem don’t even meet in de bush before dem got to deliver. Imagine two policemen who had to prevent young people from going into de bush decide that dem got to sample de girls before dem go into de bush. Dem boys seh that is such slackness mek people ain’t got respect fuh Guyana. Is de same slackness got women coming from all over. Imagine that de other day, some women from Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil get lock up fuh slackness in a city night club. No Guyanese woman ain’t in that because some of dem still got respect fuh demself. De same Guyana that didn’t have human trafficking suddenly locking up people fuh de same human trafficking.  One man in Georgetown collect dem gyal passport  andtell dem up front that dem got to wine till dem drop before dem can get de passport. And wha got people lef wid dem mouth open is de fact that nuff Ministers of de government does visit de club fuh meet dem gyal from foreign. Dem boys see one of dem same Minister pay fuh a lap dance and dem see another suh drunk that he use he mouth fuh more than drinking in de people club. De police who conduct de raid suh shame that dem had to call de Commissioner. A woman trying to clean up de bush. She want to keep children out of de bush and she might get lucky because gold ain’t fetching suh high price like last year.  But even then, de pork knockers know that dem still got to pay some big ones. That is why a certain woman end up wid a whole heap of counterfeit Uncle Sam dollars. People pay she husband wid de fake money and he dead and lef she wid that. Talk half and pray fuh dem young gyal.

Monday nite, my co worker Raj walked out of the hotel with tears in his eyes around 1030 pm. He told me "they" just killed his nephew in Mahaica, The bandit who pulled the trigger thought Vicky recognized him.
Guyana is not a safe place. to the casual obsever things might appear nice and peaceful, but you'd be shocked how all that can change in the blink of an eye.
It makes perfect sense  why the overseas based GOG supporters can only cheer from afar. They know the deal, that's why they don't go to enjoy the sweet lead.. I mean sumutoo.
My hearfelt condolences to the Persaud family.
