When will Guyanese no longer depend on overseas barrels?

Dear Editor,

Many Guyanese continue to struggle with poverty, relying heavily on support from family members abroad in the form of barrels filled with essential items. As I find myself at the shipping depot picking up a barrel today, I’m struck by the overwhelming number of people here doing the same thing. It raises the question: Will there ever come a time when Guyanese will no longer need to depend on these barrels from abroad?

Sincerely,

Anthony Pantlitz
