Dear Editor,
Please allow me to comment on Godfrey Skeete’s letter carried by you on August 8 (‘There was no Plan B in Linden for when bauxite declined’).
Mr Skeete’s comments, in the main, jell with what is heard on the streets on a daily basis. I wish to support his statement that “Food… will be gold in this country.” Transposed against the scarcity of grains in the USA caused by severe heat wave, Mr Skeete’s view on food is very relevant and all Guyanese should take heed.
I am pained when I see people’s yards, ethnicity regardless, overtaken with grass but the cry is: ‘Things hard.’ For goodness sake – plant something! Sadly, our school curriculum includes agriculture in theory, not practice.
Mr Skeete, you are correct: Plant or perish.
Yours faithfully,
T Jadunauth
