Hello! I’m Virjill Thomas, a proud miner from the remote yet beautiful village of Baramita in the Barima-Waini region of Guyana. Life here is rich with the bounty of nature, surrounded by the breathtaking landscapes of the Pakaraima Mountains. The heart of my work is not just to extract minerals but to connect deeply with the land that has been my home for generations. The community here is tight-knit, and we share everything from stories around the fire to the spicy dishes that remind us of our vibrant culture. Trust me, if you ever try our pepper pot, you'll know what I mean when I say it's not just food—it's a way of life!
As someone who has roots in Guyana, I’m deeply aware of the challenges our country faces, including recent claims on our territory by Venezuela. Discussions like these remind us of the importance of standing together as a community, whether here at home or in the diaspora. We carry our heritage with pride wherever we go, always ready to share the warmth of Guyanese hospitality and the spirit of resilience that defines us. Like many, I cherish the connections made with fellow Guyanese abroad, whether it's reminiscing about our beloved Georgetown or sharing a laugh over our unique food experiences.
In my free time, you’ll find me exploring the lush rainforests, listening to the sounds of nature, or participating in local festivals that celebrate our culture. There’s a certain joy in embracing our traditions, from the vibrant music to the rich flavors of our local cuisine. I'm here to share my journey and learn from others as we celebrate the diverse experiences that unite us as Guyanese, no matter where we find ourselves.
