Dear Editor,
Kaieteur News – 2021 has been a year of coping and challenges, of sacrifices and of great triumph. Our peoples and economy have struggled to regain their footing amiss the world wide pandemic known to all as COVID-19 which has plagued and continues to plague all nations.
2021 has seen us pick up the pieces in order to rebuild, we are all coping with what is now the ‘new norm’, but we have truly been blessed to have our wellbeing sought after by a most gracious and caring government, we are truly grateful. The constant floods are creating havoc in the lives of many but with our President His Excellency, Dr. Irfaan Ali and our government and its power ministers are continuously working to bring relief, joy and goodwill. We truly have the unwavering support of the government; we have received support in the form of cash grants, support for agriculture losses, food sustenance, and medicines.
This Government of Dr. Irfaan Ali should be applauded, we thank God the Lord our Creator for giving us a government which can truly bring joy to all the peoples of this country. We thank the Lord God for a good past year, with good governance despite the previous difficulties prior to 2020 elections and we thank God for life, sustenance, good air, blessings and all the abundance that Guyana has to offer.
In this respect, we, the Guyana Islamic Forum for Education, Peace and Religious Solidarity, the Electric Mosque’s Presentation of the Teachings of Islam, in association with the Universal Peace Federation – Guyana, take this opportunity to extend a Happy New Year to His Excellency the President, Dr. Irfaan Ali and family, distinguished members of the Government, the Opposition, and all our Divine brothers and sisters of Guyana.
We take this opportunity to remind our fellow citizens that there is light at the end of every tunnel, leading us to new beginnings. The past few years have been quite challenging for us but our resilience has kept us steadfast and strong. So as we usher in the New Year 2022, let’s do so knowing that as a people of this great nation our determination and strength knows no bounds. We are ready to take the bull by the horns and grasp all opportunities that await us as we enter 2022. We hope that, with sound management and administration, our resources can be handled sustainably, thereby creating a multitude of opportunities for improving the lives of our people and modernizing our nation like that of a first-world country.
While we all know that 2021 has been difficult, we must recognize that it has taught us that if we remain resilient, our well-being will improve. The pandemic has taught us that we are all in this together. It taught us to embrace, and then to adapt. In this regard, we urge all to continue living as one human family under God or as “One People, One Nation, with One Destiny.”
Happy New Year. Here’s to better, happier, safer, and healthier days ahead.
Sincerely,
Hajji Dr. Roshan Khan Snr.
