The folloiwng was my letetr to comment to the Guyana Times

I made several attempts to contact you guys about becoming a reporter and still have not yet placed a call or visited any of your offices. However I feel that to capture incidents like this on the medis within such short notice is very great work that needs to be complemented. The situatin is tragic. Yet we the concerned guyanese public only does three things about situations like this. #1 We express regret and anger, #2 we pass on the information to our relatives and friends with a kind of jubliating air. THen #3 we forget about it.

For situations like this to be stopped we need to have a team of perople dedicated to the assessment of these situation and influencing the enforcment of standards that will prevent the reoccurances of these situations.

So far the media in Guyana have proved to be only a source of information and not a tool of influence.
Look for example at the internationl news channels like NBC, CBS and CNN. These people are dedicated to making things happen Sometimes news anchors spin off to become the hosts of their own shows because their networks notice their potential.

In Guyana we still need some dedication, perseverance and pioniers in their respoetive feilds."
