LIKE any other country, Guyana is not a perfect society, and entrepreneur guru Yesu Persaud has said that if Guyanese cannot find ways to work together, they will continue to de-elevate themselves and their beloved country, Guyana.Speaking at a forum named Culture Conversation, hosted at Moray House at Camp and Quamina Streets in Georgetown, Persaud said that with exception of the Amerindians, the other peoples of
Guyana came in ships as cargoes; and the purpose for which they came was to work on the sugar plantations. And they all endured hardship, a commonality he said that should inspire Guyanese to stick together, and love and respect each other for the good of Guyana.
The looking down on one another because of ethnic and cultural differences, he said, will only add to the fear of insecurity, and would do no good for the youth and for development of this country.
Unless Guyanese appreciate who they are, Persaud said, Guyana will not be going anywhere; and will be going down instead of going up.
