LNDCH4 Guyana recently hosted its prize-giving ceremony for the winners of its essay competition themed “Guyana: Envisioning my Future.”
The competition, which sought to engage young minds in a critical discourse about the future of Guyana, saw over 100 entries from high school students across the country. In the end, Narindra Isurdeen was adjudged the first-place winner followed by Allex Harte in second place and Joshua Campbell in third.
The participants were asked to share their vision for Guyana over the next decade as well as their plans to contribute to the nation’s progress.
The entries were evaluated based on originality and creativity, coherence and structure, clarity and language, relevance to the topic, and overall impact.
LNDCH4 Guyana Country Manager Humberto Lopez stated, “It is noted that each essay submitted was a testament to the remarkable talent and the potential of Guyana’s youth. The winning essays each demonstrated a profound grasp of Guyana’s current landscape, highlighting both its strengths and challenges while presenting innovative solutions for sustainable development.”
At the prize-giving ceremony at LNDCH4 Guyana headquarters on June 27, 2024, the awardees received certificates of achievement and gift vouchers. The organisation remains committed to youth leadership and remains steadfast in its commitment to nurturing their growth and development.
