Dear Editor,
I refer to your story published on Wednesday, January 16, 2008, concerning the transition of ‘Merundoi’ into an NGO[http://www.stabroeknews.com/index.pl/article_general_news?id=56537063]. I would like to bring your attention to a small, yet very significant error that was made by your newspaper. In your article Mr Anand Harilall is referred to as the Project Director when in fact he is the Project Coordinator.
This may seem like semantics but it is not. Merundoi is ably led by Ms. Margaret Lawrence our Team Leader and “Managing Editor”; no such title as Project Director exists in ‘Merundoi’ but Ms. Lawrence is in fact the most senior person on the project. I am sure that this was a mistake, a simple misunderstanding, but please correct this mistake, what could be perceived as a slight against a great Guyanese citizen.
Yours faithfully,
(name and address
