Letters To The Editor

Help the valiant people of Cuba

Dear Editor

I believe that every Guyanese should, as I do, share the lofty sentiments expressed in the statement published on June 25, by the AFC. The statement requires humanitarian aid for the people of Venezuela affected by an earthquake this week. In like fashion and with similar urgency, I urge our government to put in place mechanisms for humanitarian aid to the valiant people of Cuba. In addition to the State coming forward post-haste with appropriate humanitarian assistance, I suggest that all those Guyanese who have benefitted over the years from medical treatment and training, that they, where ever they are, make a personal contribution to a humanitarian fund, as a sign of gratitude to a country and leadership that have over several decades assisted to save lives, improve the quality of lives and provided them with skills and training that is enduring, and given them professional and technical competence. 

Dear editor in collaboration with the Cuban Embassy in Guyana we can settle the modalities.

Sincerely,

Elder Hamilton Green

That is deliberate. We believe reliable journalism about Guyana should be available to everyone from the hinterland to the coast, including those who cannot afford to pay for it. But investigating, reporting and publishing every story takes time, energy and resources. Keeping our journalism open depends on the commitment of readers who can chip in and contribute to help cover the cost for everyone.
