Canje fire leaves mother of three homeless

A fire at Betsy Ground, East Canje Berbice has left a single mother of three contemplating her next move and taking up residence in a small shop-like shack in the yard where her house was once located. 

On Sunday morning a fire of unknown origin completely destroyed the flat one-bedroom house which measured about 22 feet by 20 feet located on Lot 53 Betsy Ground Village, East Canje Berbice where Dian Gobin, 34, resided with her three small children ages 7, 5, and 3.  

According to Gobin, around 8.30 am she got her children dressed and sent them off to a nearby church after which she left to have her electric bike repaired at another village in Canje.
