There are lots of professionals in the medical, education, agriculture, business and other fields that are doing great things daily but their efforts are sometimes rarely or never highlighted in the main stream media. I hope your magazine can reverse this trend, because these people are the true heroes in our society and articles on them will be fascinating human-interest stories for readers like me. – Reginald Best
GEM continues to evolve issue after issue, especially your cover designs. Each cover is unique and special in its own way. Case in point, your issue 54 cover.

I hope all Guyanese will support this magazine because you do an incredible job of promoting Guyana. May God continue to bless you. - Denise France
