Local Inspiration - Antigua - Nov2008

The local library holds functions on a variety of subjects, many of which are free. This poster was promoting Women’s Awareness Month. It translates as
.
Woman
.
Let us change the way things change.
.
30 days of Activism
.
Against the Violence of a Generation
.





One afternoon in the Parque Central I came across a small booth offering what appeared to be classes in personal growth. The poster translates as:
.
The New Acropolis Celebrates
.
Philosophy is for all those who:
.
- ask and question
- search for an understanding of themselves and of life
-search (for ways) to be be better each day, and to improve the earth.
It serves you, and is by you!

Earlier in my trip, I visited the local police station. This is located in a mobile trailer about 300 yds from both of my families. The sign was placed on the wall behind the tables at which sat two young, smartly dressed and friendly cops. They didn’t mind my taking a picture of the sign but balked when I also wanted a photo of them. The sign translates as:

.
If you have lost money, you have lost little.
.
If you have lost a friend, you have lost much.
.
If you have lost you faith in God, you have lost everything.
