A programme manager with the Delegation of the European Union to Guyana, Jude B Da Silva has ended up right where she dreamed she would when she was a teenager in Santa Rosa, Moruca, Region One.
Da Silva, 58, recalls that she always imagined herself working in an office. “I once borrowed a typewriter from Santa Rosa parish priest Fr Petry to teach myself typewriting. He told me to take it back by 4 pm the next day. I didn’t because I was enjoying learning to type. The following day, he just walked into our kitchen and took it back. I knew in my heart I wanted an education and where I am today is exactly what I wanted and how I saw myself,” Da Silva told Stabroek Weekend during a recent interview.
