Hello! I’m Jim Benjamin, a proud shopkeeper based in the vibrant community of Mission in Barima-Waini. Growing up surrounded by the lush landscapes of Guyana, I have always cherished the rich culture and warmth of our people. My shop serves not just as a business, but as a gathering place for locals to connect, share stories, and enjoy some of our beloved delicacies, from pepperpot to fresh fish curry. The aroma of local spices fills the air, reminiscent of home-cooked family meals that bring us all together.
Having roots in the Pom River area, I carry with me the essence of my upbringing, where the beauty of our rivers and the hospitality of our settlements like Comaro and Grant Canan Lower shaped my outlook on life. I take pride in sourcing products that reflect the flavors and traditions of our diverse community, ensuring that every visit to my shop feels like a touch of home for both locals and those in the diaspora. I believe in fostering connections that go beyond transactions, creating an atmosphere where everyone feels welcome.
As our nation stands on the brink of transformation, thanks to the discovery of oil, I remain committed to supporting my community through these changes. Despite the challenges we face, I’m optimistic for a brighter future and strive to be a part of that journey by uplifting our local culture and economy. Whether you're stopping by for a chat or to grab some essentials, you’ll always find a friendly face and a taste of Guyana at my shop!
