Salaam All

All projects have their beginnings in IDEAS. Then the willingness of parties from all acoss the divides to want to "work together" - a phrase that is fraught with all kinds of difficulties (you know the variety: clashing of egos, power, back-stabbing, gossip...things througout the centuries that have paralyzed/crippled/killed big & small projects alike).

From a meeting on Monday with Minister Ali who listened and then vouched to back the project. He then initiated a meeting today with Minister Robert Persaud. Gathered in the boardroom were the Minister, EPA members, Karen Persaud and a rep of the govt.... Haseeb Yusuf & Naieem (GIT), Hakeem Khan (ACIC), Abid Rahat (ModernFX), Shamal Zamaluddin (Zamals). CIOG's rep couldn't attend due to another meeting.

We delivered a proposal (put together by the GIT). Please peruse the attached document. We also shared the Environment brochure & the Let Guyana Glitter sticker.

Orally the govt has committed to the project. E-Docs from the govt. declaring commitment to the project will be circulating shortly which would be shared.

Most projects start off with excitement and MANY people. You know like 50 students in a new class. 3 months into the studies only 15 students are left. Can we all then make a commitment to stay with the project for at least 1 year. This project is three-pronged. 1. Cleaning 2. Beautifying 3. Education.

An idea for Mash 2013. Let's make several billboards with the theme Let Guyana Glitter & Pick It Up and post them along the route...Thousands will get the message on that day. It's shocking to see the mess the morning after. It's GROSS. Even at this late hour a float can have as the theme "Let Guyana Glitter".

Other ideas are welcomed NOW.

Please read the proposal and join the effort.
