It is a worldly tradition to usher in the New Year with celebration and promises to do acts of self-improvement effective on the New Year’s Day. Guyana Times spoke to various person in Georgetown just hours before the world welcomed 2020 and below is what they plan to do and achieve for the year.
Latoya Freeman Thomas
“There is so much but as time progresses and time goes by, God is going to steer me in that path so I’m leaning on him for guidance. For Guyana is 2020, most persons are talking about the oil and I’m excited about it, but I’m hoping that the Government put the money to good use. I’m hoping that they help the citizens and not themselves, because we are all a part of this beautiful country. I know that big things are in store for Guyana and I am proud and happy to see that happen.”
Makayla Morris
“Honestly, I don’t make New Year’s resolutions, I go with the flow. However, I want to see expansion in terms of our educational system and infrastructure in Guyana.”
Jahvon Anton Azore from Lamaha Park
“If you are from the truth Ministry, you would know that we don’t have a New Year’s resolution, we start our new year every day. Once there is life, there is new things to plan, there is new things to happen, you shouldn’t really have a new resolution, that’s my belief. Every day should be a new year or a new day for you, so make plans as you go along life.”
Delicia Pompey from Albouystown
“I just want to learn French, and learn how to play the piano and also I am preparing for CSEC so I will be working on that for the New Year. I also want to see a Guyana, I want to see better educational facilities, better health facilities, because that is a major thing because right now in the hospitals that are not treat well so that is basically what I want”, she said.
Bibi Toono
“My new year’s resolution is to focus more on my family. Spending time with my two children and my finance, also I want to focus on my job. I want to live peacefully with everyone. I also want to live blessed everyday as the days goes by. I will say again it’s more about family for the New Year”, she said.
Shameer Bux
“2019 was ok, a bit challenging but alright. I have no new year’s resolution but what I can tell you is that we [him and his wife] will be taking it one day at a time.”
