Dear Editor,
I went to Guyana for a week on an emergency visit.
Both on my arrival and departure I was pleasantly struck with the highest quality of staff attendance and behaviour in all departments – security, immigration, customs etc. Indeed, most staff went way out of the previous cold, job-required courtesy to be so warmly friendly and helpful. One female officer personally ushered and fast-tracked me and my wife through immigration and customs as “senior citizens”. And while neither of us felt or behaved over forty, I got the chance to experience the feeling of elation that diplomats and wheel-chair passengers feel.
But I am certain President Ali’s hospitality training programme, and what I observed as an abandonment by Guyana’s young people of racial and political dogmas, are beginning to pay dividends.
My kudos and bouquets to Guyana young professionals at the CBJ Airport.
Yours truly,
Gokarran Sukhdeo
