We should appreciate our tropical environment

It occasionally happens that a brilliant student chooses his profession, travels abroad, qualifies in the chosen field, then returns to Guyana to find to his dismay that there is no opening for him in that field. Recovering from his disappointment he perforce maks a second choice and finds himself excelling in that field.

This was the case with Sir Joseph Luckhoo who first trained as an engineer and, finding doors closed, travelled abroad and qualified as a lawyer. He became a distinguished jurist.
