Hello! I'm Vivian Benjamin, a proud Guyanese miner residing in the picturesque village of Manawarin, nestled in the heart of Barima-Waini. My roots run deep in this beautiful country, from the lush, green expanses of our rainforests to the vibrant culture that defines us. Growing up, I was surrounded by the rhythms of our community, the laughter of friends and family, and the delicious aromas of traditional dishes like roti and curry wafting through the air. I believe that the essence of Guyana lies in our close-knit bonds and our connection to the land.
As a miner, I am committed to not only supporting my family but also contributing to our local economy. However, I am deeply aware of the challenges we face, particularly concerning environmental sustainability and mental health support within our communities. I often reflect on how vital it is for us to protect our natural resources, like the serene River Kamadankoro Koria, while advocating for better systems and support for those struggling in silence. Our government must prioritize its people, ensuring that everyone has access to the resources they need to thrive.
For those in the diaspora, I encourage you to stay connected to your roots and share your experiences. Whether it’s reminiscing about a meal at Jackdasha Duck Curry restaurant or the breathtaking views of the Upper Pomeroon, your stories help bridge the gap between our homeland and the world. Let's uplift one another and celebrate the beauty of Guyana together, as we strive for progress and unity.
