2008 FEAST Lethem Rupununi, Guyana

For the fourth consecutive year, the Feast of Tabernacles will be held at the Savannah Inn Hotel in Lethem, Rupununi, Guyana, South America.

Lethem is a small town that sits on the border with Brazil, separated by the Takutu River about 300 miles from the capital, Georgetown.

The Rupununi Savannah is the home of two of Guyana's nine indigenous Amerindian tribes, the Wapishana and Mucushi people. The population of Lethem is a diverse culture with a mixture of the coast-landers (persons from Georgetown and surrounding area), and the local Amerindians. Some of the residents are a mixture of Guyanese and Brazilian nationals. This creates a unique blend of cultures. Lethem is also the Administrative centre for the Rupununi District.

Services will be held in the conference room at The Savannah Inn, Lethem, Rupununi.
Services will be in English, the language that is spoken by most residents of Guyana.
