“A people without knowledge of their history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.”
Our Centenarians had few choices within the economic system to earn a living: ‘washing, cleaning, working in the canefield and picking cotton.’ They provided the labor that produced the economic wealth and cultural benefits of our colonizers.
Now ‘What’s in your hand?’ smartphone, iPhone, Tablet – a computer! Learn all you can about the electronic device, computer science, coding. Use it to research, study, learn STEM subjects, Caribbean history (consciousness), business subjects.Apply the knowledge to start businesses. With your Antiguan & Barbudan entrepreneurial spirit mixed with your talent, skill and capability, create, innovate and build business enterprises and get things done. Never give up!
They survived by practicing the fundamental economic principle: ‘eat a little, save a little and spend a little.’
HEALTH CRISIS, yesterday, today and tomorrow! It’s time for all of us to act to improve our HEALTH and strengthen our human immune system.
The venerable Centenarian-members of Living Legends from life’s experiences in historical context, say to all of us, especially the youths, simply:
Develop a Culture of Health. EAT BETTER and EXERCISE MORE so that we can all TAKE CONTROL OF OUR HEALTH and be better together.
Plant, Eat and Trade- PET action! – fresh Fruits and Vegetables.
Grow Herbs in the garden and use them.
“The Lord hath created medicines out of the earth, and he that is wise will not abhor them.”
” You are what you eat.”
“Health is Wealth. Wealth is not Health.,
