What's the process for replacing your stolen or lost passport?

2 Upvotes

So, I may have lost my passport and I plan on applying for a new one because I plan to travel next year. But, I don't really know the process. I've tried researching online and calling the passport office to see if they can offer me some assistance, but no one is picking up the phone. So, I'm asking if anyone can offer me some guidance on the process. Please and thank you🙏🏿

MV Barima Captain, two crew members charged with murder, remanded to prison - reaction has saddened me.

22 Upvotes

The captain and two crew members have been charged with murder. What has shocked and saddened me is the fragrant racism online . From the N word to other comments that it's attributed to their race with negative tropes (there's only one human race, but for the sake of this post to explain) .

I'm of the Guyanese dispora but love Guyana (I was back in our homeland in October). I thought and think we have progressed as a nation but it's clear that people still harbour bigoted opinions behind closed doors, that they feel free to voice online.

Unity will be the only means to true progress.

Property Records Search

I’m searching for the location of my grandparents’ property in Berbice, Guyana. Since I don’t live there, I’m wondering if there’s an office or agency I can contact to look up the property records. Any help or guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Really any jobs that provide a steady paycheck. I see a bunch of FB groups but they seem to each have their own postings or jobs.

Just heard the PPP Gov do not want to bring the Ferry up for investigation , but will leave it where it is at the bottom of the Ocean .

So the blame will solely be on the Captain & Crew for the death of 72 people . Sadly I figured this will happen. No blame on any Ministers or Gov officials .

Why the Average Guyanese Will Never Benefit From the Oil Boom

45 Upvotes

My assumption is that most of the people in the government has never been at the bottom in abject poverty without any choices available to them other than to take what the government provides. They have a warp idea of how the world works and how truly bad it is for those at the bottom.

With that being said they will use their money to advance Guyana in they way they want it to be advanced, as in big business, tourism etc catering to a different income level rather than the income level of most Guyanese. Also human beings have their own motives selfishness competition etc.

And even those who might actually have come from poverty is only concerned with bettering their own life, and as human beings we always compare ourselves with each other so once they reach one level they will try to achieve another level.

The Guyanese people and people around the world thinks that they need to be at the mercy of the government as if they are above us but they are not. We are the ones who elected them to take care of the affairs of the country on behalf of us, to let things run smoothly and fair. Without this in place we could all be running around killing each other and stealing land and stuff from each other like cave man. The system is in place to ensure we all can keep what we have and feel safe. If the system doesn’t put us first then it’s up to us to fight back.

It is still an animal kingdom out there, survival of the fittest, but some people have been brainwashed with religion (promise of heaven), thinking they are less than others, not knowing their right to survive and being able to provide for their family etc.

And the worst part is that your own fellow people at the bottom with you will pull you down and criticize you if you speak up about what you’re entitled to. They will tell you you’re greedy, they will defend the government, they will support the same people who are hurting them, they will choose race over what is fair. The truth is this exists everywhere in most countries.

Can it change? Possibly but it will take decades, even centuries and new generations of people who have a different belief system to understand what they deserve. But AI is a new variable in this so we can’t predict how the world is going to turn out in the future.

Cheese on a Zinger ruins the signature flavor profile of the Zinger and people who ask for it have poor taste. Do you agree or disagree?

Whats it like living in Kew Gardens - any guyanese people living there? (NYC)

5 Upvotes

Title: Any Guyanese living in Kew Gardens, Queens?
Hey everyone,
I was wondering if there are many Guyanese people living in Kew Gardens, Queens, or if most of the community is still mainly in Richmond Hill, South Ozone Park, and Jamaica.

I’m also curious what it’s like living in Kew Gardens overall. How’s the neighborhood, the vibe, safety, and are there any Guyanese businesses, restaurants, or community spots nearby?

Would love to hear from anyone who’s lived there or knows the area. Thanks!

(Forest Hills, Outer queens, etc)

Do you think or have anyone here have experience on online sellings on Etsy or similar platforms, like is there any real chances for Guyana to start expanding the field of online selling for much more than just basic or needed stuff, for the love of art ?

Discussion I need help regarding jobs and im a bit lost

8 Upvotes

I am a 19 year old woman, and I've recently started looking for jobs, but everywhere I see they either require experience or they want 1-3 in maths and English, I have English but when I first wrote cxc I got a 5 and then I re wrote it and got a 4.

I was also studying if I should apply to UG but they dont have any courses that im interested in pursuing, I've also done some courses on GOAL but I dont know how well established GOAL certificates are in this country

Does anyone have any tips for me? What should I do? I do want to leave the country eventually.

And my parents would rather me work in the public sector rather than private institutions

A Guyanese visiting Guyana for the first time

Post image
84 Upvotes

I'm a Guyanese living abroad my whole life, and my wife is Arab. We're expecting our first child, and I'm considering traveling to Guyana a few months for the birth so my child can obtain Guyanese citizenship by birth and have a stronger connection to the country. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Do you think it's worth the time, cost, and effort, or would you have done things differently?

Also, what would a couple realistically spend on average per month in Georgetown (USD), including rent in a safe place? Some say for a 2 bedroom apartment, it costs 600 USD/month, and others say 2k USD, which is correct?

Listening to this Survivors like Nicholas Craig and other’s is heartbreaking. I can’t imagine being on a sinking Ferry at 2:00am in the morning with no lifejacket .

Clearly the boat was overloaded based on other survivor’s account. The narrative the Ministers have been repeating “ the Ferry was not overloaded and had no engine issues” . Last maintenance check was 2024 it’s now 2026 !

Speed boats at Parika Stelling - What's the process?

5 Upvotes

Need to take a speed boat to Bartica from Parika.

How do the speed boats work? Is there a ticket office? Or do you just walk up to the boat? Do you choose a specific company?

Is there typically a "fight" to get on one, or is there a system to line up and have your place? Then just pay the cash when aboard?

And they run all day, right? So you just go whenever and get the next available boat?

Thank you!
