You must remember, however, that Paraiso High School and The National Institute of Panama and Colegio Abel Bravo of Colon also have alumni associations and that we are just as interested in gaining their attention to the work that we at, The Silver People Heritage Foundation are doing. We are in need of emotional, spiritual and financial support (all we ask is a small donation) to continue with our calling to restore and preserve the precious legacy left to us by our ancestors. This means that we must continue to <a href="http://www.wmf.org/project/corozal-cemetery" title="World Monuments Fund 2010 Watch List for Silver Cemeteries" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">watch</a> that our ancestral heritage sites like the cemeteries do not further deteriorate or are completely taken over by voracious private business groups. But, we have to be here and vigilant in Panama in order to do this and keep it going. Please pass this call to all your members. We pray for continued blessings for your organization and all that you do! RR Dear Laura,

However, the article was and is a tool, and not just a tool but the only devise we have at this juncture in history of telling the story of how it was for us during a period in our history. To Mr. Barnett I can only plead for some patience with yourself as you learn more about the "wonderful legacy" our Silver People have left us as inheritance. It is up to us not to back away but to take action in some way wherever we meet racism and classism in this world. Panama as a country is the place that made history and culture to change for the better for all people of the world. So, I am hoping that all people in the world keep reading my account of life as part of the "Silver People of Panama." By the way Don Alberto we all should be very proud of your father "Lobo Barnett" as we have a lot of fans inquiring about other facets of his life story.

Just like Roberto, I also was faced with the same challenge of being a "CHOMBO"in primary school. That title, even today makes me grit my teeth, but to return home as a member of the armed forces (US Air Force) to see and feel the different treatment still holds a bitter taste in my mouth. I still don't feel that I am ready to relocate to Panama due to the constant racism that still exists today. I couldn’t have said it better myself Ana.
