Greetings! My name is Chitranie Harkishun, and I am proud to call the vibrant community of West Coast Demerara my home. Nestled within the picturesque Essequibo Islands-West Demerara region, I find joy in the simple pleasures of life here, from indulging in a plate of pepperpot or cook-up rice to sharing stories with my neighbors about our rich cultural heritage. The warmth of our local gatherings—often accompanied by a good rum and lively conversations—reminds me of the resilience and spirit that defines us as Guyanese.
Living in an area where the Pomeroon River flows gracefully, I often reflect on our connection to the land and water that nourishes us. I cherish my roots, whether it’s a visit to the serene banks of the Friendship Canal or the bustling markets where we celebrate our diversity through food and music. As someone who has witnessed the changes and challenges within our community, I feel optimistic about the future. With education on the rise and the internet bridging gaps, I believe the next generations will embrace opportunities to thrive.
As part of the Guyanese diaspora, I understand the yearning to connect with our homeland, even when we venture abroad. Each shared meal and traditional song serves as a reminder of where we come from. I invite you to join me in celebrating our heritage, supporting one another, and fostering a sense of belonging, whether you’re here in Guyana or across the seas.
