The Trip to the Interior of Guyana

This Blog is to show others, if you're interested, and ourselves for future viewing.
We made an 8 day trip into the Hinterland of Guyana to Visit 9 villages of indigenous people ( Amerindians) who live here and have done so for many many years. They are such great people and we took a big truck load of goods, tools, bicycles, and sewing machines. We only wish it were possible to have taken much much more to them and to the many other villages.
We left Georgetown in a Toyota Bus/van and traveled 350 miles ( on a dirt road ) leaving at 9:00 pm and arriving in Lethem at 10:30 the next morning. After arriving in Lethem, we had a large truck loaded with the goods and items, and we followed in an old Toyota Forerunner.
We traveled with two other persons from here, that we knew and had planned this trip with.
They both are natives of Guyana and are into the helping and humanitarian work for their countrymen.. Great people. We then left the town of Lethem which is on the Brazil border and then traveled many miles to each village with our big truck and the Toyota we were in. The following pictures will show, hopefully, the neat people and how they live and the country they live in.. The Savanna where they live is much different than here in Georgetown, as the pictures will show. We learned more about Anthropology, Geology, Nature in general, and Culture, than we thought possible. We saw great results from the visits and learned compassion for a great race of people. They live in very meager circumstances, and have such a humble attitude, that we can all learn from them. This blog is a bit long, but tells a good story, and it is for our memories,,, so we don't forget these experiences that have changed our lives. Hope whoever chooses to read this blog, will have compassion for others who are less fortunate....
