A fire yesterday destroyed the Umana Yana, the historic thatched-roof benab that served as a leading centre for cultural events in the city.
The Kingston building, which was built by Amerindians in 1972, was ravaged within a matter of minutes despite attempts by the Guyana Fire Service (GFS) to save it.
The fire, suspected to be electrical, began sometime between 3:25pm and 3:29pm. No one was hurt but Stabroek News learnt that a cleaner and a caretaker, who were not named, were taken to the Georgetown Hospital
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

To see a cultural masterpiece destroyed in the blink of an eye is a shot to the heart to those who have a deep sense of cultural awareness. I hope the Fire department carries out a full and complete investigation and steps are taken to avoid another national tragedy. Rebuild it.
