Back to Antigua - Blogabond

Resting up and making plans for the rest of the trip this weekend. Also need to shop for some more suitable clothes for working on the farm. Leaving for Campur on Monday, where the community does not have electricity so I'll be out of contact by internet until next weekend.

Yesterday I discussed needs of the rural communities and my potential role with _Alexandra_ at FUNCEDESCRI. The focus of the organization is currently on training in these communities, because the public education and preexisting information resources are grossly inadequate to prepare the people to improve their lives and determine their future.

Thinking that it's not so much a question of what I can do as an individual, but a question of which side I'm on - the side of the poor or the side of the rich. In truth, the side of the rich does not benefit that of the poor.
