About DERECK JOHN

About Dereck John

Hello! I’m Dereck John, a proud Guyanese miner residing on the beautiful Island of Barima-Waini. Growing up amidst the rich landscapes of Guyana, I have developed a deep appreciation for our culture, our vibrant communities, and the natural resources that define our way of life. Living in such a unique area, I find joy in the simple things—like fishing along the Essequibo River or enjoying a plate of spicy curry with rice and peas, something I take immense pride in preparing.

As a miner, I understand the importance of our resources, especially now with the recent developments in the oil sector. The excitement within our communities is palpable, but I also carry the concerns of many who fear the impact that big corporations may have on our politics and environment. It’s essential for us, as a nation, to ensure that we harness our resources wisely, balancing progress with our cultural integrity. Our traditions, whether it’s celebrating Mashramani with vibrant parades or gathering for a hearty meal of pepperpot during the holidays, must remain at the heart of our growth.

As a member of the diaspora, I cherish the connections we maintain with our brothers and sisters abroad. Whether it’s sharing culinary secrets or discussing the latest happenings back home, I believe our shared experiences help us stay united. I hope to inspire others to appreciate the beauty of Guyana, its people, and the incredible resilience we embody as we navigate both challenges and opportunities together.
