After three decades…Overseas-based Guyanese continues to help the deprived
By Kiana Wilburg
In the spirit of making a difference, an overseas-based Guyanese woman, who recently turned 60, continues to render her assistance to the underprivileged.
For over 30 years, Elizabeth Haley has dedicated most of her life to providing three square meals annually at shelters, orphanages and schools across Guyana.

This year, when she returned on June 4 to celebrate her 60th birthday on June 7 with her son and daughter, her target was two schools, the Melanie Damishana Kindergarten School and the Paradise Primary School.
During the lunch period, Haley surprised the students at both schools with healthy meals and tasty deserts.
The students, many of whom who hadn’t anything to eat that day, expressed how grateful they were for the initiative she has taken. To many of the students, Haley is now referred to as “their guardian angel.”
An emotional Haley said, “I believe it is my calling to help others. And to know that I am giving back is such an overwhelming feeling and I will continue to do this. I hope that this can also move others to do the same.”
