Members of the Gentlewomen’s Relief Association (Guyana) are appealing to relevant authorities to help correct a major problem that is currently affecting the Home.
Vagrants are now living in a burnt out building in the compound.
Kaieteur News understands that this Home has provided lodging and boarding for elderly women in comfortable and pleasant surroundings and has been in existence for over 92 years.
The building is now located at lot 106-107 Brickdam, Georgetown.
Reports are that a fire occurred last February, damaging the uninhabited building located at the Western border at Croal Street.
To date, there has been no effort to demolish the remaining burnt out structure and it has now become a haven for vagrants.
According to the group’s secretary, Deborah Sugrim, there have been many cases where open fires have been lit carelessly in the building for cooking and other purposes and the fire service had to be called in when these fires “got out of control”.
This newspaper understands that these situations cause great anxiety to the elderly residents who, after each occurrence, are being verbally abused by the vagrants.
The matter has worsened to the extent that the vagrants have resorted to “throwing projectiles on the roof” of the building.
With this in mind the management committee is appealing to authorities to rectify this “dangerous and intolerable situation” as urgently as possible.
LISTEN HOW JAGDEO WILL MAKE ALL GUYANESE RICH!!!
