Danny in a country there is always poverty, when people migrate they are illegal the Govt do not know they are there, we Guyanese went through the same thing when we migrate illegally to another country. Every country has poverty regardless how rich they are.
We could probably have a canoe team and kayaking sports development in Guyana and later represent the country in international competitions. We have the waterways to grow the sport.
Guyana is paradise enriched with natural resourses....Fresh fruits, vegetables, fishes, WOW, WHAT A BLESSING TO SEE FLORA AND FAUNA COME ALIVE IN BEAUTIFUL GUYANA.
Sad living conditions...but I did not see one person looking sad. Everyone seemed to be at Peace and Grateful just to be alive. The kids are happy and self sufficient. The water and natural beauty of the village brought tears to my eyes. Even in the midst of such misery there is so much Happiness and Beauty. You did an Amazing job documenting the Beautiful River and its Beautiful people!❤
It was so sad to see the conditions under which people are living in this video. Abject poverty. Wow. You were very compassionate. It was still amazing to see them still wave at you as you went by. Thanks so much for sharing and opening our eyes to this.
Really wonderful video. Appreciate you showing the lesser known parts of our beautiful country. One little suggestion I have is when traveling to places like this, have an on screen map showing your location so folks have a better understanding of where you are. Appreciate all you do. Keep up the wonderful work!
Thank u singer for sharing those images. We appreciate you for all your hard work. Showing the world what life is all about in the highest as well as the lowest. Stay bless stay safe🙏🥰
Danny I have lived among these people in amacuru river for a year both these people and the amarindian of white watter wona very nice and hospitable thank you for this video.
Hi there once again ,boy u just made my day by looking at this vidéo it was beautiful but it's à very sad situation to see how the plp living ,it's just heartbreaking ,anyways tnx very much because it's the first time i am seeing this place and dont talk about the birds...they were à beauty ,love u guys so much ,take care and do put up more vidéos....i cant wait ...because as the saying goes ... how can life get better than this.
scarlett ibis is call curry curry in berbice. Back in guyana many parrots use to come on our mango tree everyday. Parrots and sakiwinki monkeys all over berbice. If economy and crime can become stable in guyana then guyana is the best country to live.
See me scrolling through the comments to see if is really 🍗curry curry I hear him say. 😢😢😢😢 Trini here. Doh mind me too much but understand mih pain. 🙈
Is it me, or this dont look that bad... When i saw the title i expected ppl living in a literal garbage dump. Yes, the houses are modest, some in disrepair. But they also: 1) Right on the water..2) An abundance of land to explore & play in 3) Fruit trees, hunting & fishing for free. Lets compare that to many of my friends living in a NYC studio apt. No yard space & u pay for everything, even an apple. And all u do is work, then watch TV or internet
Totally agree with you and the people are not hungry there, because the live in natural environments where they have lands to cultivate and rivers for fishing.
Was also fooled by the title. Bad, yes, but expected worse. Grew up in similar but somewhat better environment on another river in another part of Essequibo. In comparison with some other really destitute parts of the world, this is not too bad. There is opportunity for the younger generation to "upgrade", if you could call it that, through education. Unfortunately, one such attempt experienced a really bad occurrence when one girl student burnt down the girls' hostel, killing 19 schoolmates.
I have more vids to post with a closer look at their surroundings As you can see some of the houses don’t have walls so when it rains with heavy winds they get wet.
Life couldn't get better for the warraus came over to Guyana with all there stuff in there corials set up house catch crabs fish cook eat make more Babies and live happily ever after😂😂❤
Danny I thought of you when I saw the Madia tragedy son smh...we all know how much you loved them and have done so much for their community. But keep the faith dear, and continue your God's doing work for them ❤always. And may they innocent souls R.I.E.P..I will continue to always keep them in my prayer..
well thats good these people come from Venezuela. there is a shortage of labour all around Guyana, the Gov needs to bring them to where they need labour but they need to temp house them near the job so they can learn the job and langauge, also farmers need labour,,and when when all Guyanese get housed then they can house them.
Many are already in Georgetown and surrounding areas since 2018 many in construction and porters at stores the female work on cook shops and domestic but not all are lucky to make it to Georgetown
Hi Danny, great video. It's nice that you are bringing guyana to the ppl who cannot visit these places. One thing I want to suggest to you is if u can pull up a map of guyana and put a marker of the place u made the video. Hope I can see it in future videos.
Danny you showing and speaking facts. Big up to you bro. I want to tell all Guyanese that the table turned now. In the late 70's and all through to the early 90's. Guyanese used to run to Suriname, Venezuela although they don't understand the languages. Lot of Guyanese when there and was treated very badly, especially females. Look what is happening now...Venezuelans are fleeing to Guyana. Please let us not treat then how they treated Guyanese. Give them love. That's all I am asking.
Well said.The treatment Guyanese got is unbelievable. They were called names even refused treatment at hospital in case of heart attack and left to die.KARMA TIME.
What an amazing video showcasing the lives of very poor people in their rundown homes, yet they seem to be satisfied with what they've got. The birds, the ibis and the parrots, were amazing as well as the children in their canoes. This was a very revealing video and taught much about life in the interior. Well done.
Danny it's nice to see the way you are showcasing these parts of our beautiful country clled Guyana. I think 80% of the Guyanese population have never seen these pare of Guyana. Thank God the job I am involved in have taken me to all ten regions in Guyana. I work for 3 years in the northwest region in 6 areas and in some of the remote Rivering areas. Continue to do the good job you are doing. Thanks for shearing Danny.
My father lived here as a boy in Morawhanna, North West. We are supposed to own some land here but I'm not sure if we still do. My grandmother, Maggie Horsham, was the medical person for the area. It's nice to see the area through this video, thank you for posting Danny.
My Mother sister's husband was the Medic at Mabaruma Hospital in the the 80's Big up to you Brian Max. I think you should look into the rights of owning lands. The Current leader of the Gov't is a great person. Don't depend on local Gov't representatives. They all square pegs in round holes, no what party is ruling. Bribe them and you can even get their wives/husbands...
ARD, Venezuelans were migrating to Guyana since the late 70' s . I been there in Morahana. You have to go on the land there leading to Wauna. You will learn a great lot.
Denny this segment of your ongoing adventures was truly a study in the humanities and a nature lover's dream vacation. You gave us a Birdseye view of the Scarlet Ibis and parrots🦜 in flight and on the trees creating such a spectacular cascade of colour. A boat ride took us into the eye of poverty but yet showed us how humble these tribes lived through their customs and culture with regard to river life. You're so correct in saying that Townies could never make it in those areas as many of us do not have the capabilities to adapt to such hardship, but this is a lesson in resiliency and fortitude. Excellent video displaying human nature and the never ending migration process. Your video should be used in schools in the Western World to teach young minds the difference between want and need, in addition to the very obvious history and geography lessons.
This video have help me to understand that when you think you have it hard in life some people have it worse and we should always be thankful and to appreciate what God have bless you with and to always help the less fortunate its so sad to see the condition that people have to live in especially the little children. Thanks for the video ARD team
Hey Danny/ ARD, The nine aboriginal tribes in Guyana and the Caribbean are:- ARAWAKS, WAI WAI'S, CARIBS, AKAWAIO, ARECUNA, PATAMONA, WAPIXANA but is has a complicated pronunciation... MACUSHIS and WARAO.. hence the word. Boy you know your history like me. Not too many people in this world know their history. I wonder why? Keep up doing the good things.
These children reminds me of my first landing in Supanaam mid-eighties saw two children coming from an island or up river to school was wonder struct babies really in this massive river I had just cross and being from Trinidad whose largest river is just a drain or canal in Guyanese terms and as always the abundance sea food Thanks Mister Persaud,hoping for a last HURRAH in Guyana this year my last trip was in 2005.
Danny/ARD, You are in a very sensitive region where the Aboriginals are concerned. Be careful what you say. They are not poor, they are very rich in heart and soul and preserving the world from pollution. They live off the precious land...everything organic and don't deplete the forest but fight to preserve it all. What is your understanding about richness?
Money and materials don’t make you rich. That’s my understanding I measure riches as to the amount you can give onto others the more you give the richer you are. I am only highlighting their living conditions so that they can be considered for some assistance
Big up to Captain Black Boy. I saw your boat building and launching into the waters and test sailing. Happy for you and you and your family bro. when I come there, I want all kind of cuirass and kakwaries to eat an bring back.
Eye phone camera very blurry, the best footage got blurred. Guyana is a beautiful country and you are very fortunate to have a good president. The fry fish is best.
It's an overwhelming situation since this all happened so rapidly with the Venezuelan economy collapsing and the human exodus began, hopefully the United Nations and World Health Organization also other wealthy nations make a concerted effort to assist guyana to house these people.
I’m speechless. So sad to see the living conditions of these people. The kids are so brave and tough. I personally can’t do what they’re doing on that canoe. As for the scarlet ibis , they look so pretty. I thought i was looking at a tree blossom with huge Red flowers only to realize that they were birds.
How do these people cope during the rainy season? Houses without windows. These people are blessed with good resilience and contentment.Wow!! Beautiful Ibis roosting on greenery. Thanks for showing us what we've never seen.
Hi Danny. It was one of my request to you to visit region 1. I thought you you have gone with the new boat 🚢. It's my first view of the area. I never see any government ministers visiting that area. At least help those people with a decent house to live in. When it rains, they have no protection. I hope they look at your video. Come election time, they will be asking these people for their votes? Looking forward to the next.
It's Heart breaking to see humans living in these conditions. I know that there's a border controversy between Guyana and Venezuela but that shouldn't stop Guyanese from lending a helping hand. especially for those children.
Sad to see the condition they're living, there is no quality of living like this , I'm thankful for everything I have because sometimes we have everything and still complaining.. sad seeing this
This is the realest it can be live and direct. How much do you know about the authenticity about Aboriginals in Guyana and other parts of the world? We are the poor ones bro.
In America we dump so much we can send to these people is sad I think just some roof wall windows doors clothing pots and pan seeds to plant books for the kids.
Its truly sad that Venezuela which has as much oil wealth as Guyana, continue to be strangled by the US like Cuba. The US says they are only punishing the government yet it's the people who suffer!
Stop blaming USA. Cuba and Venezuela have corrupted dictators that are thieves and murderes. The dictators and their circle live like kings and the rest of the people in misery. Their governments have policies that keep them poor. It is completely disgusting.
Venezuelan brothers and sisters live peacefully near by nice river l wish developed the place day by day place seem to nice weather green environment brother display so nicely so beautiful
Outstanding video Mr. Danny!!!! Sometimes people need to see what is the result of corrupt governments and tyranny! Venezuela was once a country with financial promise because of the oil. But when those at the top mismanage and pocket money for their own interest, the common people suffer!! I hope and pray that does not happen to Guyana!! I am grateful that Guyana is taking in some of the migrates and hope their life is somewhat better there than in Venezuela! Thanks again for sharing this!!
There are many people who abandoned their homes for better quality of livings to migrate to other places in Guyana . The Amerindians have strongly survived their lives in the Riverain areas ,not many would like it in the much civilied areas in Guyana but it will be great to improve their lives . Guyanese who migrated to other countries for better, also suffered a lot before they became wealthy like you ,Denny. Thank you for your video. Very interesting ,and always something to learn from you.
Our country is very beautiful and the water is very nice I feel happy I am looking at the water. But how little babies sleep in the house rain and the weather is cold .they sick
They made it to the beautiful island 🏝️ of Trinidad and took it over bringing with them crimes and other ways of life but of them however appreciates the hand out the government of Trinidad and Tobago has given them and their children!
Dearest ARD, thank you for this amaaaaaaazing video, wow Guyana may be the land of many waters, but it’s also the land of true beauty, I hope the landscape doesn’t change. As far as the Venezuelan migrating to Guyana I’m all for it, my only problem is the condition the live in, hope that our Guyana give them an extra helping hand and make their living condition better for the children sake , I know that if anyone can help these poor people it will be Guyana, I know even our own Guyanese need help, you know what god is good god is great he has been watching over our Guyana, the time has come for the people of One Guyana to come together and become one,Guyanese you’re there,love each other, embrace it my people please,I’m from Mahaica River living in NY, Guyana is the most beautiful country , the more you explore the more beautiful it becomes, thanks to the yuotubers,Guyana will become a star. on earth, will shine bright,all a matter of time, wait and see, Love you my One and only Guyana,❤❤❤❤❤❤
Very interesting. Those people along the banks of the river are undoubtedly resourceful but their houses are in terrible condition: not even fit to be called houses. Incredible to see people living primitive like that in the 21st century
Absolutely Amazing. Thanks much #Danny Persaud for showcasing 🇬🇾to the World. Places I may never visit .There's so much places in far flung areas so Beautiful and Serene .I really enjoyed this Video .Life and living so humble .Please can you do a video of Upper Demerara River from Linden my birthplace is Clemwood Demerara River. Thanks Much..Keep up the good work.❤❤❤from 🇬🇾🇹🇹👉🇬🇾
Oh beautiful Guyana. What a beautiful senary? To many , they can't live in such environment. These tribe of Amerindians lives and work here. This is their life style. The river is there road to home , market , school , work and church. To them this is life for all they know. Life can't get better than that.
We are hoping to plan a trip to go visit our beautiful Guyana,hopefully this year or next year. I hope to see you and meet you Danny.We are in Clermont Florida not far from you. You are amazing in your respect you show for all the people you guys are helping that is very important thank you Danny !!!
