There is a sign in the middle of a cemetery that states
“Wake up and Live IV”. The number at the
end represents the number of times the sign has been repainted. Apparently, the cemetery used to be a popular
spot for gambling. Bob Marley had a popular song called “Wake up and live”, so
the community members painted the name of the song on the cemetery in order to
encourage the gamblers to do something more productive.
The story of a Peace Corps volunteer in Suriname, South America on the edge of the Amazon rainforest. Yes, these actually are small pink bananas. These blogs are my statements and do not reflect the opinions of Peace Corps Suriname.
