Madame Tiano, the Haitian woman in
this report who hosts part of the group in her home
on Lagonav island, sits practicing her writing in
a literacy center supported by Beyond Borders.
Madame
Tiano also participates in the Wonn Refleksyon
or Reflection Circle
project. The Reflection Circle text which she reads
and is so fond of is a selection from Plutarch's Lives
on the legendary Spartan king, Lycurgus, who
passed a law requiring the rich and poor to eat together.
That night, in her home, the rich and poor ate together,
though in humility, Madame Tiano and her husband refuse
to eat at the table with their honored guests.
