Guyanese Series Monday: All in the family ‘We support each other, good or bad, happy or sad.’

It can be easy sometimes to tell if a Guyanese person is living in a neighborhood just by the fence they have surrounding their yard. It’s usually iron and decorative just like the one in front of the Hindu Temple and Guyanese Community Center in Schenectady.
Lalita Persaud said it’s part of the Guyanese culture and something some Guyanese implemented into their homes when they moved here. She said they use the fences because of the beauty of the design and they add much-needed privacy while still feeling inviting.
