Guyana Festival returns: After a 12-year break, the Guyana Festival is set to kick off May 15–17 at the National Stadium, with tents, lighting, sound, and cultural booths going up fast for a three-day mix of performances, food, crafts, and family entertainment under the theme “Song, Soul, and Taste.” OAS rights showdown: In Panama, the OAS is facing a procedural fight over whether a proposed Declaration on the Rights of Persons and Peoples of African Descent will even reach the General Assembly agenda. Aid and advocacy abroad: The U.S. is preparing US$100 million in direct aid for Cubans, while climber Alex Honnold links community solar projects to protecting land and empowering locals. Local pressures on education: In Christianburg Wismar Secondary, break-ins and vandalism have hit again—this time with projectors, computers, printers, and other school equipment stolen despite added fencing, guards, and cameras. Education outcomes under strain: A UNDP report flags that even with big education spending, many students still drop out by Grade Nine, pointing to deeper classroom and safety challenges.
