Speedeet & Wilar: De Day De Kite Get Away

Speedeet and Wilar are two twelve-year-old best friends from Pike Street, Kitty, Georgetown. Their stories are pure adventure — no politics, no current events, just the business of being twelve years old in Guyana.

DE DAY DE KITE GET AWAY

De kite was Speedeet idea.

Not de buying part — he didn’t have enough money for dat — but de BUILDING part. He had been saving newspaper and bamboo strips for two weeks, watching YouTube videos on he uncle phone when he uncle wasn’t looking, calculating angles.
