Mourning the loss of a Guyana’s “child labourer“ on “World Day Against Child Labour”

Jun 15, 2023 Letters

Dear Editor,

What sad irony it is that June 12,2023, was observed as “World Day against Child Labor” and 13 -year -old Guyanese, Rovin Mark Williams, a CHILD LABOURER, from Adventure, Essequibo, was, allegedly, killed whilst offloading Canter, GHH2322. The canter owner apparently, unthinkingly, reversed and crushed the 13-year-old. Now, I am thinking out aloud. I do not condone child labor and this barely teen’s life was unceremoniously snuffed out. Realistically, apart from him being irreplaceable, and an irredeemable loss, his future earning potential for himself and family abruptly was curtailed!

1) A- Will the Child Welfare Agency/ Ministry of Education/ Regional Administration and other relevant authorities intercede to ascertain why this child was not in school?

1)B- Other children are not  similarly exposed?

2) Will the canter owner take responsibility and do the humane thing by providing weekly or monthly financial help to this now bereaving and beleaguered family? Our children are out greatest asset and “ ONE GUYANA” hinges on , among other things, protection of  our future assets. Hoping that the relevant authorities and agencies will read this and act accordingly.

Best Regards,

Subrian, Esq.
