Daniel talking about the village´s children and sport:

"We are trying to change the attitude of the children because the children are tomorrow's future. With sports there is so much discipline, with sports there is so much beauty. And what we are doing now, starting from this evening is forming a community sports club because in this little village here with just 17 families we have champions, we have one of Guyana's national swimmers for 5 years consecutively, we have one of Guyana's most renowned acrobats, we have a very known vocalist and guitarist within the Arawak community .

We want to pass on our knowledge to the children of this village and to children from other villages because we see that through education and sports they stand a better chance of living a happier life and living a longer life, a more fruitful life. So its our duty to see that what i'm saying today becomes a success and with help even from the outside this would be an even faster success."
