Jones. They are not fooled by the socialism campaign. On the contrary, we have the total support of Dr. Carlton Goodlett and numerous other prominent socialist leaders throughout the United States and the world. We have likewise had no criticism from within any minority community in the United States.
We have had all kinds of church and government officials visit us from both here and the United States. We will be having an open house in the near future. If you are unable to make it to the open house, we will gladly receive you any time. We have a community in which we are more positive than ever. Contrary to malicious allegations, we do not have to use corporal punishment of any kind and never have had. It is fantastic: no anti-social behavior exhibited of any kind, and the highest level of medical care you can find anywhere in the world. The food is tremendous, and many new innovative crops are being planted and successfully grown. This type of food production is helping the whole community, and this pleases us very much.
We build most of our houses now out of prefabricated material with the help of our sawmill. Our skilled craftsmen design and build our furniture and cabinets. The school at the Jonestown project is a healthy combination of work/study programs designed to let the youngsters progress at their own rate of speed, with individualized attention readily available. Our program includes an emphasis on Guyanese history and culture. The youth are also trained in a number of technical skills by competent tradesmen. At Jonestown, we make all kinds of other things that will have great utility for Guyana.
Numbers of our families have adopted Guyanese youngsters into their homes. We have integrated into the community and all community activities here, helping with school and recreational facilities. We are bringing Guyanese into this community and have a friendly, cooperative relationship with our neighbors in the area.
We wish to thank the government and people of Guyana. We could never have progressed so far so fast were it not for the total cooperation given every step of the way. We look forward to a relationship of friendship and mutual support between our mission settlers and Guyanese from every walk of life. We can only express our appreciation by trying to make our experiences useful for others engaged in similar efforts to expand and improve cultivation and development of the rich interior of Guyana, with the goal of benefiting her people.
