Norteños And Brown Prides Get Along

"Preface"

This is an experiment. My first blog. My desire is to share here a little of what I experience in my time in Colombia, especially in the form of photos and reports of the small projects that I may learn to see my travel and incidental.

Six days ago I arrived in Bogotá. I live in the Casa de Solidaridad with three other comrades @ s of the Red de Hermandad y Solidaridad con Colombia - Maximo Italian workaholic, the whole day is occupied with its beautiful photos he makes ancillary travel from the regions in Colombia, to make blog posts (see www.nuncamas.splinder.com - you simply can I watch the "movies" even if it means anything, the pictures are worth a visit!), with Ariadni, the super-friendly and maternal Greek and Carlos, the Basques - all 38-45, so I'm a chick here. Living with them is very friendly, considerate, social. However, this is a snapshot, as the comrades of the network @ s come and stay, and everyone goes to their own times.

"BOCCHERINI - showers of high quality," this is our shower in the Casa. In order to have warm water, one can only be dripping, so it can be heated in the lead time. :-)

I still have some difficulties with my role as Federica compañera de la Red de Hermandad, can not yet assess what my brief and perhaps arbitrary presence in communities, often with Poverty and life threat from paramilitaries and / or (both suspended by the economic interests close together) multinational companies that threaten or destroy their habitat, are facing, can bring meaning to these people. The fear and the feeling of social tourist to be the bursting of a very different context in these realities, it's all listen with big eyes and in the end thanked warmly tells how well you liked this project and that all the best for the further success of the same wish, and then disappears again, affected by death threats, poverty and the risk of their lives to fight for a dignified Life ...

Perhaps to put this powerlessness and uncertainty to something contrary, I will take this blog. To this, the impressions and images are not alone to bear in me, but they make for some others to see. Let's see if I succeed.
