About Ramroop Sukhai

Greetings! My name is Ramroop Sukhai, and I proudly hail from the beautiful landscapes of Bank Demerara, specifically the enchanting region of Jacoba Constantia. As a dedicated farmer, I cultivate a variety of crops that reflect the rich agricultural heritage of Guyana. From the lush green fields to the vibrant markets, my life revolves around nurturing the land and sharing the bounty with my community. There's nothing quite like the taste of fresh rice and peas or the warmth of a well-cooked cassava that brings us all together.

Growing up in Guyana, I have a deep appreciation for our cultural diversity, which is a blend of Indigenous, African, Indian, and European influences. I often reminisce about the bustling streets of Georgetown, where the aroma of curry and fried plantains fills the air, or the serene banks of the Essequibo River, where we gather for family picnics. My experiences have shaped my understanding of the challenges we face, from environmental issues to the importance of community responsibility. As one commenter aptly put it, "Did the trash everywhere come from the people? Yes." It emphasizes the need for collective action in preserving our beautiful homeland.

Through my work and interactions, I strive to connect with the Guyanese diaspora, many of whom share a heartfelt longing for our home. Whether it's reminiscing about the rich flavors of our local cuisine or the vibrant celebrations that bring us together, I believe that we can bridge distances and foster connections that honor our roots. Let’s continue to celebrate the spirit of Guyana, wherever we may be!
