Michael Abraham, A.A., is a ‘Special Person’ull Quote: ‘Give me the Rupununi anytime’Michael Abraham, Sr.,nfl jerseys china, can’t pluck his guitar strings like he once did. There is something wrong with the thumb on his right hand. But nothing is wrong with his mouth, so he can still play the Mari Mari from his favourite mouth organ.Mari Mari, if you didn’t know,Jerseys NFL Wholesale, is a traditional song (and dance that goes by the same name) of the Amerindian Macushi people, among whom Abraham has spent most of his life. In fact, it is the Macushi people and the others in the hinterland that he has spent most of his adult life trying to uplift – economically, socially and culturally.Currently, Abraham and Vincent Fredericks, another cultural teacher, are busy preparing a delegation to perform at a Guyana-Brazil Festival billed for late September in the Brazil border community of Bom Fim.Abraham himself will be playing three English compositions – two Brazilian compositions, and of course, the Macushi Mari Mari.Now, retired, he has more time to concentrate on preserving Amerindian arts these days, and is enjoying every bit of it.And what better place to spend the rest of his life than the sprawling savannahs of the Rupununi!“Give me the Rupununi anytime,” he told Kaieteur News this week while on a visit to Georgetown. “I can sleep at night with all my windows open; its real freedom from fear.”His peace, though, comes not just from the Rupununi’s tranquil nature. It is from years of hard work – as an educator, a community activist, a Parliamentarian, and an enthusiast of Amerindian culture.Michael AbrahamEARLY LIFEMichael Abraham was, in fact, not born in the Rupununi. He was born at the Acquero Health Centre in Moruca, North West District.His parents, Patrick and Mary Abraham, were descendants of the Spanish Arawak people who fled uprisings in Venezuela, and came to live along the border river communities of this country.As a result, Spanish Arawak was mostly spoken in the home. Some English was also used.? Patrick and Mary Abraham were both teachers, and this explains how he came to be in the Rupununi.When he was just about eight years old, his father was asked by the Roman Catholic Church to set up a school in the Wapishana-inhabited village of Awaruwaunau in the South Rupununi. He agreed. It was there that Abraham would learn to speak the Wapishana Language.The family subsequently returned to Moruca, where Abraham was enrolled at the Santa Rosa school.However, his father was again asked to set up another school – this time at Nappi village among the Macushi people of the North Rupununi.He attended the very school for two years, after which his father transferred him to the “far higher and better” school, St Ignatius. He spent a year at that school, but was again transferred – to Sand Creek, in the South Rupununi. So, he was back again with the Wapishana people.The Sand Creek School was run by the daughter of the late Stephen Campbell, the first Amerindian to become a Parliamentarian in Guyana.Abraham would complete his high school education at that school, and once he graduated he took up a teaching job right there.Michael and Eleanor Abraham with their childrenHe then moved to Georgetown to attend the Teachers’ Training College. It was there that he met Eleanor,Supply Cheap Jerseys, a beautiful student teacher from Skeldon (what is now Corriverton) on the Corentyne Coast, and the two got married,Nike Air Max 98 Og, and had a total of eight children in the ensuing years.After graduating from teachers’ training college, Abraham applied for a scholarship to study Modern Mathematics in Australia. His application was successful,Cheap Air Max 2018 Shoes, but as things would turn out, he never did travel to Australia – the confirmation letter from the Ministry of Education was stuck at Aishalton, a good distance away, and when it finally did reach Abraham, it was already two weeks after the deadline for him to confirm his acceptance.“I was very disappointed; I was very upset.”Grappling with the despair, his wife urged him to go ahead with his plans to study. As a result, he enrolled at the Guyana School of Agriculture, where he pursued a Diploma Course.Once his studies were successfully completed, Abraham returned to Nappi Village, where there was a vacancy for a Head Teacher. He applied and got the job.A fine archerPARLIAMENTARIANBy that time, he joined The United Force (TUF) party under then leader Marcellus Fielden Singh (who succeeded party founder Peter D’Aguiar).As a result, he was asked by the party to be its representative in the National Assembly. So for 18 years, Abraham sat on the opposition benc
