\"riverSkeldon Village is a village in the county of Berbice in Region #6 in the country of Guyana. It has a population of approximately 3000 people most of whom are descendants of East Indian indentured laborers who came to work on the sugar plantations after the abolition of slavery.<\/p>\n

Skeldon village has a nursery school, a primary school, a secondary school, a village council and several religious places of worship.<\/p>\n

The people of Skeldon earn an income mainly from the prominent and long-standing Skeldon Sugar Factory – which however has been coming under controversy of recently.<\/p>\n
