Guyana is a tropical country in South America. This year the Guyanese people celebrated their fifty-fifth year of independence. You can watch Miss Rebekah's trip! She read the book Guyana and that can be placed on hold right here. She also read a book about sea turtles and you can, too.
The people of Guyana come from a variety of different backgrounds and cultures. Guyanese culture has been influenced by African, Indian, Amerindian, British, Portuguese, Chinese, Creole, Latin American, and Dutch peoples.
Guyana is one of the financially poorest countries in South America. Guyanese children are impacted greatly by this. We all hope for and many work for the day when all people, all around the world, will have enough to eat, a safe place to sleep, and the freedom to live in peace. You can find more information about how our country is working to empower the people of Guyana here.
