Feliz Navidad

Volunteering group "Life" has been hosting Chirstmas party for 3 years to the children who have no chance of receiving christmas gifts. All the foods and presents are donated from the sponsors and the actual works are carried out by the volunteers.

This year 2000 kids came to the party...
We started from 8 o'clock in the morning and ended at 8 o'clock at night. We gave out shoes, candies, hamburgers, icecreams, cakes, and presents to all the kids who were at the park.
When they recieved the presents, they looked so excited and happy.
I´ll never forget those faces.

Children in Buenos Aires

I have visited one of the facilities in the suburb of Buenos Aires where they help kids with their food, clothes and studying. I was quite nervous because I looked so different from the rest. But one of the kids sat right next to me and gave me a big smile.

It's always them that leads me.

Durante el fin de semana, fui a La Boca.
Es una zona muy pequeña pero los colores del las paredes son hermosos.

palabras en mi bolsillo

Un buen viajero que conoci en mi hostal me dio palabras para animarme. ¨ We need to travel. If we don’t offer ourselves to the unknown, our senses dull, our world becomes small, and we lose our sense of wonder. Our eyes don’t lift to our horizon. Our ears don’t hear the sounds around us. Our experience is restricted, as we pass our days in a routine that is both comfortable and limited. We wake up one day, and find that we have lost our dreams in order to protect our days. Don’t let yourself become one of these people. The fear of the unknown and the lure of the comfortable will conspire to keep you from taking the chance a traveler has to take. But, if you take them, you will never regret your choice. Sure, there will be a moment of doubt when you stand alone, on an empty road, in icy rain. Or when you are ill with fever in a rented bed. But as the pain will come, so too will they fall away. In the end you will be so much the stronger, so much the clearer, and so much happier person, that ill the risk and hardship will seem like nothing compared to the knowledge that you have gained, and the life you have lived.¨ Kent Newburn -Letter to my son-
