International cricketer Keemo Paul recently returned to his homeland of Saxacalli on a mission to aid the village with basic food and cleaning supplies.
The community, which is located on the left bank of the Essequibo River, some 25 miles from Parika, has seen a reduction in travelling in an effort to safeguard the residents from the novel coronavirus, commonly called COVID-19.
With key elements of the community’s livelihood such as boat service operations and fishing reduced significantly, access to the basic amenities have become difficult to obtain.
