Un Techo para Don Antonio || a Ceiling for Mr Antonio

On Jan 28th and 29th I went with Un techo para El Salvador to one of the campings. We were to San Julian to fight poverty.
So here is the story and pictures of the life changing experience weekend I had:

We went to San Julian this weekend, and we found them Campamento Enero 2006_0180 They inspired us...
to build a house this weekend, they wanted us to make a change in their lives.

I was the only gril in the team so my teammates were placing the wall's structures... Campamento Enero 2006_0182 I was just holding it... Campamento Enero 2006_0185(which is kinda boring) Then they were screwing the wall, IMG_0203 but I was screwing the roof!!! Campamento Enero 2006_0197b (which is way more fun). They IMG_0200 were really happy, when it started looking like a houseCampamento Enero 2006_0202.
We IMG_0208 were soo tired when we finished... but he Campamento Enero 2006_0206 and his family wont have to worry if it rains or if it's cold outside ... and that's worth the effort!!

This weekend, 72 volunteers believed this was posible. 12 Houses were built. 12 dreams came true, 12 more families have a new hope.
But we are far from the end. We need more volunteers, we need more money and we need more people who believe that it is posible to fight poverty!

Five tips for a woman...
1. It is important that a man helps you around the house and has a job.
2. It is important that a man makes you laugh.
3. It is important to find a man you can count on and doesn't lie to you.
4. It is important that a man loves you and spoils you.
5. It is important that these four men don't know each other

Marcelinho


I met Marcelo Costa in 2003.
I was LCP in Cordoba, Argentina. He emailed me because he wanted to be a CEED in Cordoba. Having him in my LC was one of the smartes decisions my EB took. He was such a source of inspiration for our member and for myself. He tourned MC VP in Brazil the year after and we were all so happy for him.

He is now MCP elected of the Southern Cone!

Marcelinho, I am so proud of you....

Never forget where it all started!

DÍA DE LA PAZ


Hoy es 16 de Enero de 2006.
El 16 de Enero de 1992 Se firmaron los acuerdos de PAZ de El Salvador.
Hoy deberíamos celebrar.
Hoy debería ser una fiesta nacional.
Hoy debería ser el día de la PAZ.

Para recordarnos lo que sufrimos, para recordarnos cosas que no queremos volver a vivir, para alegrarnos cada día porque podemos salir a la calle sin miedo (o casi sin miedo), para recordarnos que la mejor manera de resolver las diferencias es el DIALOGO y NO las bombas.

FELIZ DÍA DE LA PAZ!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday :)

Thank God for letting me spend my birthday with such an amazing group of people.

Now that I'm 23, please give me the wisdom to face what is about to come.
