At the end of this year, a new law is expected to be in place to promote and protect the rights of people living with disabilities.This is according to Minister of Health, Dr. Leslie Ramsammy, who whilst addressing a gathering at a “Write shop on Developing Disability Awareness Messages”, noted that the new law will also address the issue of stigmatization and discrimination against persons living with disabilities.The draft law is currently with the Ministry of Health, and over the next several weeks, will engage the Cabinet subcommittee.The draft document will be submitted for parliamentary action for a session which is slated to commence in October.?At the two-day workshop, which commenced yesterday,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, Dr Ramsammy urged that persons with disabilities need to take the lead in ensuring that the public’s attitude is changed towards them.One way to do this, he said, is to ensure that they portray and develop a positive image.At the World Health Assembly, which was held in May of this year,NFL Jerseys Supply, Dr Ramsammy said that he insisted that the assembly place disability firmly on the developmental agenda and that it also be a priority on the health schedule.“It’s a major health issue and I believe that the global and national agenda on development has neglected disability and it is high time that we correct that gap,” Dr Ramsammy said.Although progress has been made both nationally and globally, people living with disabilities still do not have the same rights and do not enjoy the same privileges as any other ordinary citizens.In this regard, the Health Minister said that communities have contributed to stigmatizing such persons, eventually leading to discrimination.“We see it at workplaces; we see it where services are provided; we see it at the transportation aspect; and far,Cheap Stitched Jerseys, far too often we see it within our own families.“The solution to the problem we encounter would not come unless we are all engaged. People living with disabilities must be part of the solution,” the Minister said.He explained that persons living with disabilities simply ask to be understood and to be allowed to live their lives to the fullest without being discriminated against.Dr Ramsammy chided the public, whether they are employers, church leaders, community leaders or the transportation association, for depriving persons with disabilities of the opportunity to live life with dignity.He noted that the general public needs to recognize that persons with disabilities are also talented and deserve a chance to showcase what they can do.The public,Cheap Jerseys From China, Dr Ramsammy said, must learn to respect this.Meanwhile, Julie Lewis, who is visually impaired and who is also involved in mass communication,Cheap NFL Jerseys, said that persons with disabilities are not happy with their portrayal in the media, which can at times be negative.She, however, added that disabled people must be involved in positive activities so that the media can write positively about them. According to Lewis, being disabled must not be seen as a death sentence.She said it can be overcome and can be lived with easily.Lewis stressed that persons living with disabilities must seek to empower themselves by finding jobs and making a positive contribution to society.The National Commission on Disability (NCD) in its strategic plan has as one of its strategies, Public Awareness and Media Advocacy.?A line of action under this strategy is to Design a Comprehensive Campaign to provide information on disability issues for the general public and Advocate for responsible and sensitive Media Practices.Research shows that disabled persons are the world’s largest minority.According to the 2002 census, the number of persons with disabilities in Guyana is 48,Cheap NFL Jerseys,419, which is about 6.4 per cent of the total population.Forty-one per cent of disabilities were caused by an accident; 18 per cent were acquired at birth, and 15 per cent were caused by diseases.Only 22 per cent of persons with disabilities, who are above fifteen years old, are in the labour force.

By Akola ThompsonFor many women,Authentic China Jerseys, cooking is a hobby, a pastime done to amuse or more importantly put food on the table for their family members. For the women in the Stabroek Market however, cooking is a livelihood, a business mostly passed down through generations of women who contribute to the rich cultural heritage of Guyanese society.Food Vendor Janet SheonarineThe question of “why” these women chose this particular work however arose and most of the reasons given revealed the way society has failed them. Years of unemployment and below-minimum wage, combined with a natural love for food, saw these women starting a trade they were already good at in order to provide for their families.One vendor, who would rather not be identified, revealed the challenges she has had to overcome throughout the years before she was able to enjoy her current comfortable life.“Before I start renting here, I had a lil office job, typing. They used to pay $36,000 a month and I used to work 10, sometimes more, hours a day. Them time I had my lil son and he father been dead but I couldn’t spend no time with he really cause I deh working long, long for lil bit pay. I ask my manager to raise my pay lil after a while ‘cause I poor and suh yuh know and I get my child but he wanted (sexual) favours and that’s when I left the work,” she confided.The woman then recounted her various stints selling greens, cleaning houses and washing clothes in her area in an effort to make ends meet. “Many times I just wanted to give up, ‘cause my son keep getting big and like I was just getting poorer.”The woman revealed that she had never given the idea of cooking for a living any thought but on her son’s eight birthday the idea was expressed to her to sell food. She related that she had held a small ‘get together’ where she cooked several different dishes and one visitor complimented and encouraged her cooking so heavily she felt embarrassed. The idea stuck with her however and when she became aware of a stall in the market for rent she immediately pounced on the opportunity.“I’m not saying everything really, really good now ‘cause it’s not but I getting enough money to take care of myself and my son now and that’s all that really matters.”Another food-vendor, Janet Sheonarine,Wholesale Jerseys China, the proud owner of two connected stalls,Cheap NFL Jerseys 2018, one of which was inherited while the other was bought, said that despite her not facing direct hardships her great grandmother had it very “hard” in the beginning.“Our family was never rich but with the economy at the time we really began to feel the squeeze and my great grandmother was always struggling to make ends meet,” Sheonarine divulged.Tinged with poverty, her great grandmother, after years of saving her meager earnings,Wholesale Cheap Jerseys, finally had enough money to invest in a food-stall in the Stabroek Market. The stall was later passed down to Sheonarine’s mother and then to Sheonarine herself who revealed that she has every intention of passing the stall down when she believes they are ready as she explained it is very hard for young women in the competitive working environment.“I frighten they may have a hard time, it was very hard when I came out here first because everybody have their people they build relationships with and want to buy from and it takes time,” stated Sheonarine.Sheonarine has been in the food stall business for over five years and throughout these years has relentlessly catered to thousands of individuals and continues to attract so many customers that she now has several hired hands.The dishes she prepares, like most of her counterparts in the market, are Creole based dishes,Wholesale Jerseys, which sees her pulling in around 40 customers on regular days and more on holidays. A large part of her clientele consists of tourists who wish to experience the taste of authentic Creole food. While she related that most of the foreign customers would come by word of mouth,NFL Jerseys Wholesale, it clearly displays the cultural significance these stalls have on the Guyanese economy.The food vendors like Sheonarine at the Stabroek Market are just a small number of several women across Guyana using the things they love to fight against – unemployment and minimum wage jobs.

–?? ?establish Parliamentary Committee first – GPSUThe Guyana Public Service Union (GPSU) has called on government to hold off on the appointment of a new Commissioner for the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) until the establishment of Parliamentary Committee to oversee the body.The call was made yesterday by the union’s President, Patrick Yarde, during a press conference at the entity’s headquarters.Flanked by top GPSU officials, Yarde explained that the union has taken note of reports in the media that there are plans to restructure GGMC and appoint a new head. The comments were reportedly made by the new government official in charge of mining, Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment, Robert Persaud.GPSU President Patrick Yarde and other union officials at the press conference yesterday.GPSU is insisting that the current position should go to Karen Livan, the current acting Commissioner, who has been with GGMC for over 30 years.During a recent forum, the new minister disclosed that changes will be coming to the mining industry which is experiencing a high from record-breaking gold prices. His ministry is a new one created under the Ramotar administration to tackle forestry, mining, the Low Carbon Development Strategy and the emerging oil and gas sectors in a more comprehensive manner.Previously, forestry fell under the Agriculture Ministry,Wholesale Basketball Jerseys, while mining was the responsibility of the office of the Prime Minister. The LCDS was handled by the Office of the President.The gold rush recently has seen a rash of violence in the interior and there were complaints that the situation was getting out of control with Brazilians, Venezuelans and others looking to cash in. There have been calls for firmer control on that sector,Cheap NFL Jerseys, whose contribution to the gross domestic product (GDP) has steadily been rising in recently years.NO NEEDYarde insisted that his union has been removed from sitting on the GGMC board under the Jagdeo administration and that there is a comprehensive programme for the modernisation of the GGMC that commenced in 2007 when that agency participated fully in the Government of Guyana Public Management Modernisation Programme (PMMP).This plan included critical management aspects of performance; finances; human resources; accountability framework; governance and regulation and information technology.Already GGMC has taken action by implementing a five-year strategic plan which started in 2008 and concludes next year. A study is underway to computerise the Commission, and there is an active pursuance of International Standard Organisation (ISO) certification commencing with the Land Management Department which achieved certification in March 2011.“A consultancy by S.V Jones Associates to guide the implementation of the Human Resource Management recommendation. The S.V. Jones Associates report recommendations were progressively implemented by the GGMC.”The union leader believes that GGMC has progressed and there have been a series of tremendous developments to which the current management has developed intimate knowledge and acquaintance.“Hence, it seems strange for the Minister to suggest that the GGMC has not been keeping abreast with developments in that industry or as he put it “a 20th century organisation serving a 21st century sector”. Further, the claims of the Minister has put the Hon. Prime Minister Samuel Hinds in an untenable position given that Prime Minister Hinds was the subject Minister and is far more qualified to make pronouncements on the mining sector.”According to recent reports, Rickford Vieira, a senior official of the WWF Guianas, has been tipped for the Commissioner’s post.But Yarde yesterday said that his union was unhappy with such moves.“With respect to the vacancies that exist and would exist in the future, persons were trained and groomed as successors. Yet it is rumoured that the Minister favours the appointment of an individual, who previously served at a junior level within the Commission and left that employment over a decade ago.”He emphasised that the rumour was not denied.“This rumour was not negated or corrected by the Minister,Wholesale Jerseys From China, but if true, would bring the converse effect to the Commission, which would be to foist a man with 20th century knowledge on a 21st century institution. The actions of the Minister disclose an intention to avoid appointing Ms Karen Livan, who has given yeoman service to the Commission for over 30 years, in favour of his preferred candidate.”QUALIFIED?Yarde pointed out that the GGMC advertised the position of Commissioner in August 2011,Jerseys NFL Wholesale, but to date interviews of shortlisted candidates, have not occurred.“It goes to sa

The University of Guyana Student Society (UGSS) is planning to reform its constitution, including an expanded student body in its decision-making process. This is one of its goals in enhancing the learning institution for 2012. The development will occur this semester.The student group pointed out that the impractical nature of having general meetings according to the definition of the constitution – students are locked out from the decision making in the UGSS.The lack of participation by students in the decision making process of UGSS,Wholesale Jerseys China, no fault of theirs, plays its part in fragmenting the student body,Wholesale Jerseys, alienating its members, destroying its esprit de corps (morale of the group), UGSS stated.This announcement comes at a time when the body is calling for students to coalesce into a radical political and intellectual force to accomplish their common needs, ranging from quality education to adequate and modernized learning environment and facilities in 2012.The body stressed that students should “clamour for developments that are stalled which could easily be reduced to empty and ineffective logomachies if those who are in the position to effect the changes are not being sent the signal that the UGSS,Cheap Jerseys, not only talks for,Wholesale Stitched NFL Jerseys, but more importantly, talks with the united voices of over 5,Cheap NFL Jerseys,000 dissatisfied students”.“To meet this ideal,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, albeit essential, stage in the development of students’ consciousness, students must come to the realization that there is a connection between rights and responsibilities. Our right to a quality tertiary education is contingent on our acknowledgement and fulfillment of our civil and moral responsibilities,” the group stated.UGSS emphasized that last November it organized the ‘Day of Disgust’ highlighting students’ intellectual and social responsibility. It signaled the necessity of students demonstrating some level of awareness and radical protest against the deterioration of one of Guyana’s most sacred institutions.

With General and Regional elections less than three weeks away, executive members of local youth organisations have said that local political parties feared the power the youths have in determining the next(Left to right) Head of Communications for the Guyana National Youth Council (GNYC) Francis Bailey, Administrator for Youth Movement Guyana and Robin Singh, and Chairman of Blue Caps, Michael Leonardgovernment.The common assertion was made during the radio programme “Hard Talk” which was broadcast on Sunday. The show featured Chairman of Blue Caps,Adam Joseph Duhe Dolphins Jersey, Michael Leonard; Head of Communications for the Guyana National Youth Council (GNYC) Francis Bailey; and Administrator for Youth Movement Guyana, Robin Singh.During the hour-long interview, each youth representative asserted that the increased knowledge among youths on issues affecting the country was becoming of concern to political parties.“The problem right now with the political parties, is that youths are more engaged; they are more exposed,” Leonard said. “There’s a fear of information and I believe that it’s probably on both sides.”He added that with the advent of modern technology, things happening around the country are more easily shared with the public. Sometimes this happens in mere minutes, he said. “That wasn’t possible years ago and that is the situation all around,” he added.He said that discussion is constantly ongoing within groups and these discussions are not only inter-group but inter-race. These discussions, Leonard said, are “changing the way young people approach their voting”.“They’re not just voting based on what they would have done before,Alexis Sanchez Arsenal Jersey UK, or what they’re parents would have said. They are now thinking,Cheap Jerseys, ‘Hey, maybe I should consider X because X is promising to actually deal with the problems at UG and that is important to me.’”Similarly,Wholesale Hockey Jerseys China, Bailey opined that the fear shown by political parties was them sensing the changing of the status quo.“What is happening with this generation here is that we’re challenging the status quo and we’re putting our weight behind no more business as usual,” Bailey said. He continued, “Youths are starting to think; we are not blindly being led…we are drawing based on consensus. We’re doing things differently. That must challenge the status quo and that’s where the fear comes from.”Leonard added, “They fear the collective political power of the youth. The youths combine really have a lot that can influence the outcome of the elections.”Furthermore, the youth representatives admitted that they had come under attack and had all been accused of having political affiliations. These accusations were leveled from both the opposition and the government, they said.Francis explained that both the GNYC and the Blue Caps were labeled as “pro-opposition” youth groups. Singh said that his group was often labeled as “pro-government”.When questioned whether they are forced to temper their perspectives, Bailey said that he did not believe they were being forced to modify their political views. However,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping, he said, Guyana’s socio-economic environment caused many people to feel hesitant to air views because “it’s so common to be attacked, victimized, lose your job and threatened, for even expressing an opinion.”Singh added, “In my case, I ask a lot of questions of the opposition and right away people say I must be PPP. The fact is that the PPP has been there for 23 years; I have no questions left. This is their track record and nothing they can tell me now can change my perception of them. So the people who want your vote, you ask them the questions.”The men emphasised that the main issue is holding people accountable, regardless of which political party they were aligned to. “That means if the government were to change tomorrow and the opposition was to take up position, that doesn’t mean the issues go away,” Bailey said.This publication has been reliably informed that the Youth Movement Guyana under Mr. Robin Singh,Jordan Shoes For Sale, has endorsed the People’s Progressive Party.

Queenstown, one the oldest Villages on the Essequibo Coast, celebrated its 171st anniversary on Tuesday with a series of activities to commemorate the occasion.The Village was bought by ex-slaves in 1841 after other freed slaves would have purchased three plantations, namely,Air Max 97 Silver Bullet Mens, Mocha,NFL Jerseys Wholesale, Dagaraad and West Field.Chairman of the Queenstown Development Association, Wendell Walcott, gave a brief history of the Village.
