Dear Andra, as OSM wiki <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Guyana> says, there is (or rather used to be) one active mapper in Guyana (and none in Suriname), who can be contacted via his/her OSM profile <http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/donaciano>. But I rather recommend to contact Latin American community group through the mail-list, listed at the bottom of their page <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Latam>, if you really care to fix this issue. It is quite likely that someone from the list will understand English and will try to fix it.
