Hello, my name is Vanburn France, and I hail from the beautiful Island of Barima-Waini in Guyana. As a fisherman, the rivers and waters of my homeland are not just my workplace; they are my lifeblood. Every day, I cast my net into the rich waters, bringing home fresh catches that remind me of the vibrant culinary traditions of our country. From the delicious flavors of Guyanese Chinese food to the staple dishes that fill our tables, the food here tells the story of our diverse heritage.
Living near the Pomeroon River, I often reflect on the beauty that surrounds me—lush greenery, the sound of the river, and the warmth of my neighbors. In moments of leisure, I enjoy taking drives along the riverbanks and visiting nearby communities, like the Hoobodie Settlement and the serene Waiwaru Creek. These connections to my fellow residents and the environment shape my understanding of what it means to be Guyanese. Our stories, whether they come from the heart of the city or the quiet settlements, unite us across borders.
For me, being Guyanese is about embracing our rich culture while recognizing the challenges we face, including environmental concerns and the need for community support. It's important that we take pride in our land and strive to keep it clean for future generations. I invite you to join me in celebrating our heritage, and if you ever find yourself in my part of the world, don’t miss the chance to share a meal and stories with a fellow Guyanese.
