The conference opened with an exhilarating devotional period prepared by ten Saramaka youth from French Guiana. The sound of drums, maracas, and claps filled the air as other participants from Guyana, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago joyfully sang along. The energetic youth on stage had journeyed for two days to arrive at the conference, but they were not the only ones. Many of those who joined them in their chants had travelled on flooded roads and rough terrains through the rainforest in order to reach the much anticipated conference. The time had finally come for more than 300 youth to gather in the auditorium of the School of the Nations in Georgetown, Guyana, on the east bank of the Demerara River, to discuss how they could direct their talents and abilities toward assisting their families, neighbours, and co-workers to build united communities.
