Greetings! My name is Zafar Sookwah, and I proudly call the vibrant community of West Coast Demerara home. Nestled in the heart of the Essequibo Islands-West Demerara region, I cherish the warmth and camaraderie of my neighbors. Growing up here, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for our rich cultural heritage, from the tantalizing flavors of pepperpot and metemgee to the rhythmic beats of our folk music that echo through the streets during celebrations.
As a resident of 490 Block X New Housing, I find solace in the lush landscapes that surround us, whether it’s a leisurely afternoon by the Pomeroon River or a spirited community gathering at local events. Although many of us may find ourselves living far from our homeland, the bonds we share with the diaspora keep our roots alive. I often reminisce about the stories my mother shared about her childhood in Berbice and how the essence of Guyana thrives in our hearts, regardless of where we are.
In my spare time, I enjoy exploring the nuances of our country’s history and sharing it with others, especially the remarkable tales of places like Arasaro Island and the dynamic culture that defines our nation. I believe it is essential to celebrate and preserve our identity, ensuring that future generations continue to take pride in being Guyanese. I welcome you to join me on this journey of exploration and connection to our beautiful land!
