Americas, Guyana, Primary and Secondary Education, 2022

Jermaine works in the Education sector leading National Data Management Authority. Jermaine is an auditor with the heart and mind of an entrepreneur. The fellow runs a tutoring service and a gaming business. The company’s pilot card game is called Jus Drink, which is based on the Guyanese Creole language. The customers are Guyanese people who are at home, either locally or abroad, during the pandemic. The game provided entertainment and education for local Guyanese customers, and it brought back memories of times spent in Guyana for migrant customers. The company is unique because there is no other business that produces Guyanese card games. Coming to the YLAI Fellowship, Jermaine’s top business challenge is Finance.
