Canada-Guyana Outreach Mission

Health Care for Guyana   

2017 REPORT

FEBRUARY TRIP TO GUYANA

2017 was a very busy year for Canada-Guyana Outreach Mission (CanGO).  In February, I traveled to Guyana to conclude some unfinished business with the Guyana Revenue Agency and to make dental arrangements for the children who will be having surgery in March 2018.

At that time I took the opportunity to visit the Ministry of Public Health, the Diaspora Unit of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Prime Minister’s office where I discussed the many challenges we were experiencing while trying to organize the annual mission.

Dear Family & Friends:

Award from the Guyana Cultural Association of New York

Members of CanGO are very pleased and honored to be the recipient of an award from the Guyana Cultural Association of New York in recognition of our community service in Guyana.  We are very appreciative for the acknowledgement of our work with the Indigenous Peoples of Guyana.  A few members of CanGO will be traveling to New York at the end of August 2017, where I will accept the award on behalf of CanGO.

In early October, members of the CanGO team will again travel to Guyana to provide free health care to the Indigenous Peoples in Regions 1 (Santa Rosa, Waramuri, Karaburi, and Manawarin) and 2 (Charity, Kabakaburi, St. Monica, Karawab and Waracabra) of the country.  This will be a two-week mission.
