Former Enmore sugar estate worker, Afzal Deendial has set up a barber shop and a small cash crop farm to keep his family going.
Deendial was one of thousands who have been made redundant by the Guyana Sugar Corporation as a result of the revamping of the industry.
According to a press release from Region Four, Deendial worked 21 years at the Enmore Estate and when it closed he decided that he was going to find ways to keep earning. As such, he ventured into establishing a barber shop and a small cash crop farm. The barber shop, ‘Classy Touch Barber Shop’ and the cash crop farm are both located at Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara, where Deendial resides with his family.
