Chief is a proud past resident [PPR] of Coriverton and he might have to ask his way around metropolitan Albion, my sugar estate.  Dem country bai always get lost in populated areas like Albion, but me hear he was able to overcome NY.    

Tola bhai, Skeldon(Corriverton) was always a bright spot. Home is always where the heart is. Not sure about Skeldon these days..all the cinemas gone, more rum shops, drunks all over, pollution is an eye sore. The place stinks by the market. 

Skelly, your description of Skeldon is no different from Albion.

Behind our house at Belvedere  was a water pump, that was blown up in the 1960s. It was repaired, but the trench is so full of garbage and grass that no path exist for the water when it rains.

Unfortunately, the people don't see the relationship between their crops and poultry dying, with the garbage they throw in the trenches.

The personal value system in Guyana has gone haywire and the new generation learn all the bad habits from the adults. How it will end, is anyone guess. And this government don't have any interest in Berbice.

One of the young women in our youth groups in GY is married with a daughter.  During a recent visit, I was horrified to see the girl with all rotten teeth. I lost a few teeth from eating sugar cane by not brushing before bed, so our children  was gong-ho in taking care of their teeth. But this girl seems to lack parental guidance.

We did  a lot of work with youth programs at UG Berbice. Some of these educated guys would leave for lunch at 1:00 pm most days and at midnight they are still drinking. It was difficult to see how they stay focused on their work.

There don't seem to be any  program to help people with social issues and the family or business suffer the consequences.
