Hello! My name is Kevin John, and I’m proud to call Backdam in the Barima-Waini region of Guyana my home. As a miner, I spend my days working hard in the lush landscapes of our beautiful hinterland, surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature that make Guyana unique. There’s nothing quite like the tranquility of the rivers flowing through our communities, whether it’s the Lower Pom River or the vibrant life surrounding it. I cherish the connection to my land and the culture that thrives here, from the delicious pepperpot on my plate to the rhythmic beats of our music.
Living and working in Guyana offers me a front-row seat to our rich heritage. Every day, I’m reminded of the warmth of our people and the resilience we exhibit as we navigate the challenges faced by our communities. I often reminisce about the evenings spent by the riverbanks, sharing stories with friends and family, and reflecting on our shared dreams of a brighter future. This deep sense of belonging ties me to my fellow Guyanese, whether here or part of the diaspora scattered across the globe.
As I engage in my work, I also keep an eye on the social and environmental issues affecting our beloved Guyana, especially as we navigate the opportunities that come with development. I believe that with our oil wealth, we must strive for better social services to uplift every community, ensuring we leave a legacy of progress for the generations to come. Together, let’s celebrate our heritage and work towards a future where every Guyanese can thrive.
