I.S.G.C. ACTIVITIES AT THE GUATEMALAN-AMERICAN INSTITUTE (IGA)

For the past year or so, the ISGC and AFG have been organizing quarterly introductory lectures to promote stamp collecting at the Walt Whitman Library of IGA.  For the past 60 years, this institute has been supplying a variety of English courses for Guatemalans and Spanish lessons for foreigners, besides providing many other cultural activities.

The last of these events was accompanied by a stamp show, held from November 15 to 24, 2006 in the lobby of the Institute.  The pictures hereafter show how successful they were.
