By Jenelle CarterIn recent years,Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys, the community of Agricola has been branded as a haven for criminals. With last week being ‘Child Protection Week’, a grand rally was held in the community as the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security and Every Child Guyana saw it fit to have children of that area involved in the related activities.There is the strong opinion that the children in the community are being neglected and equally worrying, stigmatized, once it is known that they are from Agricola.Speaking to Kaieteur News on the issue was Pastor Ivan John of the Open Door Bible Way Church, who pointed out that children and young people of the area have been branded for life and are living in fear like the children and youth of Lusignan and Bartica.John said while the community is sympathetic with the residents of Lusignan and Bartica,Michael Irvin Jersey, both of which suffered from massacres, no interest is being shown to the children of Agricola.As such, he said the churches of the community along with Every Child Guyana have teamed up and are doing phenomenal work with the youths of the East Bank of Demerara village.According to John, even to this day children still ask if the gunmen are going to come back as they often recall the instance when gunmen brazenly stormed their neighbourhood and killed with impunity.As such, the churches often hold sessions for children to deal with the trauma. In addition, John said,Cheap Baseball Jerseys Nike, it is very difficult for youths who would have left schools to find jobs.“What we find when these young people come and ask for a recommendation is that they literally beg you not to put their addresses as Agricola,” John explained.“As if this is not enough for our youths to deal with, those who have decent jobs for one reason or the other are picked up, photographed and thrown into the lockups for days and have to be missing out days on their jobs,”According to John,Cheap Hockey Jerseys, young men in the community can not be seen hanging out on the street corners.He added that as a result of the treatment meted out to the young men in Agricola,Wholesale Jerseys 2018, many have expressed the view “is best we just join de criminals because we getting lock up fuh nothing at all”.Meanwhile, as it relates to other social ills,Wholesale Adidas NHL Jerseys, John said the community leaders are coping with those in addition to the serious issue of HIV/AIDS among the youths.“As church leaders it was a bit hard for us because we found it very difficult to be practical with young people but we were reminded that the times have indeed changed,” John said.
