Greetings! My name is John Gomes, and I proudly call the vibrant community of Chinese in Barima-Waini my home. As a miner, I immerse myself daily in the rich natural resources that this beautiful land offers. The lush green forests and the mighty rivers are not just my workplace but are also integral to my identity as a Guyanese. Whether I’m working in the mines or enjoying a quiet evening with family, I cherish the connection to our land and the stories it tells.
Growing up in a culture steeped in hospitality, I have always appreciated the warmth of our local community. From sharing a hearty plate of pepperpot during holiday gatherings to experiencing the rhythm of our cultural festivities, there's a unique bond that ties us together. I often reminisce about the lively cricket matches and the joyous celebrations that bring everyone together, even those who have moved away to places like Canada and the USA. The diaspora community plays an important role in keeping our traditions alive, and I’m grateful to be part of that ongoing narrative.
Through my work and community involvement, I strive to promote not only our local resources but also the beauty of Guyana itself. I believe that by showcasing our stunning landscapes and rich cultural heritage, we can inspire more people to explore and appreciate what our homeland has to offer. Come visit, and you might find that there’s so much more beneath the surface of Guyana, waiting to be discovered!
