Making cooperation is not only organize vocational courses for young people in the neighborhood, helping to form an economic group and buy the first instruments to start a business, you also see that before the expiry of three years of funding of the Italian Ministry, something is moving in people who have worked with you, even to change something in the social fabric of the neighborhood where you work. For this, last Saturday, May 6, was a very important moment for me in El Salvador.
In a room of the "Colegio Estadual da Bahia", gathered a dozen people to approve the regulations and appoint the directors of what will be "Associação Educadores Sociais Economics and fomented by Solidaria". That is, the local team (which will cover executive positions) that I am coordinating the project, met with other people interested in the initiative to form an association that will lead to the permanent school of social educators and support of small businesses. In words almost technical means continuity for a project funded by the Italian Ministry and from October will begin to walk alone. It means that the work of four years will not end, that the local staff and other collaborators, have realized the importance of what we are doing and not let it fade the conoscernza gained so much effort and patience (from both). Of course there will need to find new lenders, what we are doing, writing projects for public or private local calls, and organizing a network of organizations that can use the specialized training of the school.
Following discussion and the pictures of the group's founding members (yours truly was present but did not see fit to become a founding member because the role of accountability to the Italian Ministry lender).
