20 Mm Phosphate Buffer

ladddrrrri also are angry ... I mean the rich!

to friends, relatives, sarpenti enemies or living in Italy. Two lines of relief staff, stating that I decided not to read more The Australian - because of course the site in Salvador is not the newspaper - and I went to read the Ansa, because it makes me less than a stomach ache, in the sense of desire to run to the bathroom ...
What's going on? Just too many news reports that Republic defamatory about Berlusconi, after the phase of his trial and those of family, corruption or bribery that is, past the stage of stories about his links with mafia and various Masonic lodges, has now passed to phase of its personal relationships with children, prostitutes, women of the show, cleaning and maybe even with some attendant some of his private villa .... and with this you ask you, what's the problem? some doubt on the truth of the news also confirmed by the Corriere della Sera and the foreign press ... evidence from witnesses, documents, registrazini television ...
In fact, the problem is not the newspaper, only that whenever there are elections, I can not comprehend that so many Italians still vote for him, that racism is growing in Italy, here in Brazil I am ashamed, and that makes me suffer, an Italian citizen, that our society is returning to be that of aesthetics, the image of the cunning of thieves and ... and I have to see that it was better when there was Craxi, the Communists were Communists and Christian Democrats were a little favor to everyone, but at least in this one felt more free and honest, even if it was blacks (leather of course).

Oh well, as I said it was just an outburst, I think of good things: I moved back to Italy next week for the wedding of his friend Jerry, I come with Brazilian girlfriend ... he did not ask to do DNA testing .....

... Perhaps today it is better to go back to read the Ansa, where I found the photo of our dear President: I think it's pissed off but I do not know why ... but it is true that 73 years??

June 6, 2009, Salvador was born in "the Social Educators Association"

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).

Brasilia, to happen!

That does not say that I am always around and never talk about work ... but what can I do if in mid-May, the embassy is organizing a two-day meeting with all aid workers who work in Brazil? It 'a unique opportunity to meet other expats living my own experience, enter the rooms of the embassy and be invited into the luxurious house of the secretary of the ambassador (or "mentor", newly appointed and who speaks English instead of Portuguese). E 'to deal with the officials of the Ministry to find out what are the indications for the future (unfortunately limited because Brazil is no longer considered the country in the developing world - continue to consider the economic indicators and not to consider the social ...) and the European Union representative (as above considerations ..). E 'for half a day to see a city that was built fifty years ago, in the middle of nowhere, in the center of Brazil, all focusing on architecture and, say, the functionality, of course, operates the only progressive government in the history of Brazil (Lula exclude because of progressive government in its just him ... Infeliz).

occurs in the rain

After May 1st, a national holiday in Brazil (and also here major shopping centers were open ...), a large delegation visited the "Draft Social Educators" in Salvador. Sara Callegari, Marco and Stefano Bravin of Ipsia Calvetti, had long planned a "mission" to check the progress of the project closure and to strengthen relationships with local partners. He then added that a delegation from the ACLI was visiting Sao Paulo: Michele Council (vice president of ACLI) Simone De Fazio (coordinator of the global network aclista) and Rita Blasioli Costa (ACLI President of Brazil).
It was a week full of meetings and is particularly interesting and motivating for the Italians (and co-operating services civil), which for local staff.
In addition to meetings with the partners of today (and ACOPAMEC CEPAM) we were able to visit other companies to design and think of new ways to go to Salvador or Brazil (Association Cidade da Criança, Federal University, SEBRAE, Asst Art and Work ), we met with the Honorary Consul of El Salvador and with representatives of communities of Trentino and Abruzzo who live in the state of Bahia. We have done all the progress of the project meetings to deal with the ACLI and deepen the thematic associations. Telling of our experience in Brazil, we were updated on what Ipsia is doing in other countries where it works, confronting especially on the values \u200b\u200bof participation and solidarity economy. With
ACLI Sao Paulo then, we started the contacts which I hope will grow to build future collaborations.
We also tried to introduce some cultural characteristic of Salvador, a city world famous for its cultural and social contradictions. Only one critical point was unfortunately the time, we were unable to provide a bit of sunshine to my Italian friends, we took the opportunity to work a bit 'more ... oh well, do not overdo it: o)
