SCORES of children in the Lethem area were last weekend feted by the owners of Touchdown Bar & Lounge, situated at Airport Road, Lethem.

According to proprietor, Vishal Mohan who resides in Toronto and is also the head of Mohan Contracting Guyana Inc in Canada, his wife Reema, son Kisan and business partner Carl Methuram were on hand to give out the goodies to the appreciative parents and children.
Mohan pointed out that the children also enjoyed playing on the trampoline and were all given free lunches, Christmas gifts and bags from Santa Claus.

Mohan, who was born at Cotton Tree Village, West Coast Berbice, migrated to Canada since 1982, but has never forgotten his roots.
According to Mohan, he has been an established businessman for more ten years. “I have established a successful business in the security industry, which is still growing,” he said.
Being an industrious individual, Mohan wasn’t content to just remain in the security business in Canada, but was bent on making another dream a success, hence the establishment of the 747 Bar & Lounge.

“I saw a possible way forward. I always wanted to provide Guyana with an upscale bar (of the type) that you would find in Canada. Georgetown has a few, but Lethem doesn’t have any, so (I thought) why not bring that awesome party experience to the residents of Lethem?”
The 747 Touchdown Bar & Lounge currently employs a staff of seven, each playing an important role in the success of the establishment. And according to Mohan, the feedback from Lethem residents has been phenomenal.

“It’s a new and fresh experience to them, and they have embraced us with open arms. And for us, their satisfaction is our top priority. We have come a long way in a short time, but the journey has now begun and we have thought it best to give back to the community.”
Vishal Mohan is expressing sincere thanks to everyone who has been supporting the upscale entity and also ensuring his life-long dream becomes a reality. Lethem lies on the Takutu River, which forms the border with Brazil. It is opposite the Brazilian town of Bonfim, and is the main commercial centre of the Rupununi savannah.
