Acknowledgements

In order to produce a book in the midst of other daily activities, such as running multiple businesses and establishing new ones, I had the privilege of relying on the generous help of a number of talented individuals. 

It is my pleasure to acknowledge my indebtedness to Bill Oldham, whose understanding of broad political policies helped me organize this book.  

To my brother, Paul Ramsaroop, who has been by my side in all of my ventures in Guyana. 

To my parents, who taught me to love my neighbours as a scriptural commandment.

And to my wife, Anna Maria, who is always at my side in my quest to develop Guyana for the betterment of the children of today and tomorrow.
