Based in the vibrant community of West Coast Demerara, I am Jaikisan Balgobin, a carpenter dedicated to crafting quality furniture and structures that reflect the unique culture and spirit of Guyana. Growing up in Essequibo Islands-West Demerara, I have a deep appreciation for our rich heritage, from the flavors of our local dishes like pepperpot and roti to the festive rhythms of our cultural celebrations. My work not only serves the practical needs of my neighbors but also aims to celebrate and preserve the artistic traditions of our land.
As a proud Guyanese, I often find myself engaging in conversations that highlight our identity, especially our connection to the Caribbean despite our geographical location on the Atlantic coast. Whether it's at the lively markets of Georgetown or enjoying a meal with friends, I cherish the diversity that defines us—80% of our population proudly tracing their roots back to Indian heritage, alongside our Afro-Guyanese and Indigenous communities. Through my craft, I strive to contribute to the evolving narrative of our nation, emphasizing that we are more than just our borders.
Living in a country with immense natural beauty, from the lush Kaieteur Falls to the serene beaches of the Essequibo islands, inspires me every day. I take pride in showcasing Guyana's potential, not just locally, but also to the diaspora who carry our culture abroad. My commitment extends beyond carpentry; I aim to foster a sense of community and heritage among both those at home and those living overseas, reminding us all that, regardless of distance, we remain connected through our shared stories and experiences.
