What I have Learned...

When you manage to do social action, you manage to become an individual of power, you manage to waste the vanal stuff, the material stuff, and you start to see the world with different eyes... withe the eyes of an authentic and caring person... like when I became a mom it make me changed completely...
you feel things that you never though you were able to feel, you experience a lot of crude and happy things, you land in the real world and stop going up to that nothing happen cloud... you mix feelings, you think all day about those people you met and share that day, you get concern about them... you wait anxious to see them again...

I never thought for real that I was gonna enjoy this so much, it made me think about my daughter too, about the world she is going to be living in, about social response, about love and respect, about fairness and equality, about honesty... this are the values that should encourage us to move, this values should be our fuel to work, to fight... Maybe my thoughts are unfair because I have a daughter maybe I had to move from early childhood to the path of maturity not completely but in a big way... maybe my girl made see the world we share, maybe I think twice first for her and in a second place for me... I think about what Im doing and whats waiting in this real world in the future for her...

I really enjoy my experiences, I could see the true feeling of my classmates, I could knew really cool and wise people on those saturday´s, I realize that maturity isn´t hard it takes a while but it isnt impossible, it has never been and never would.
maybe we need that push or to just open our eyes analize ourselves and then the world we are part of... we should demand for fair things but not for us but for the people that never had a chance to scream for unfair treats of society with them... maybe it is complex but if we dont act now... we will never change, we will be ok with injustices.

I hope for huge changes... till that I´m going to change for my daughter and for me maybe doing little things but at the end is my daughter who is going to live them as huge changes in the future...

Saturday 25th

Saturday 25th we went to los lagos, las riberas, el rio, castelago, we began at 12:00 till 3:30, we met an interesting guy called Xavier, he was working in a huge company but he got kicked of by the chiefs… he told us that he has 2 jobs he worked in a night club in Duran and during day he work as the security manager in Los Lagos.

Today we took sandwiches and soda as always but we also took junk food as potato chips etc… it was nice, we even met the grocery guy from entre rios Nelson who was delivering some vegetables to a house…

It has been great doing this, it makes you think a lot, and notice that doesn´t matter if we are poor or rich, black or white, sick or healthy we haver the same problems, we live in the same city but we never give them the same opportunities.

We are going to be keep doing this the weekends we can, this has change my mind, my life, and also to try to get more people involved into this...

Saturday 18th

Saturday 18th we went to the complexes like Villa Club, Isla Sol, Lago Sol, Entre lagos, we met the security guards and in one of them we even had the chance to met the gardeners and pool guy… it was nice, we had a problem that day because we did 49 sandwiches and they were 58 so we went back to my house to do the rest of the sandwiches and went back to the complexes… We knew a guy that her wife has pancreatic cancer and is helped by the volunteers of ASVOHL, he told us he work 2 turns because he needs money for the injections and medicine her wife needs…

Something good was that a lady from the complex he work in heard about the case and told him to go one day so they can see what can they do to help her.
There is in another complex a guy that made that his brother applied for a job there too so they were telling me that people aren’t nice, sometimes they want to be angry but they cant so they just deal with that.

As I put in the first entry I did it is nice to help people to enjoy spending time with them and also to exchange experiences of life… you don’t need a degree to do it just living every day with its problems and happy moments…
