"All life is encounter" (spell on the Camino de Santiago)
Dear parents and friends,
love volunteers and star setter in the 2007 class,
A voluntary service abroad lives of encounter.
encounters with strange and lovely, with cultural characteristics and life dreams.
Above all, with people.
Only rarely can you find a different reality of life so intensely from within, as by living at the base.
Not theoretically, but practically from person to person.
Social Responsibility, writes our FW Alex from Nicaragua, "must be from the head to the hands!"
A wonderful picture - he's right!
We wish all FW that they continue to meet here so seldom seriously threatening dangers as before.
that our missions of safety acceptable in good conscience, are the last 3 months (and the last 3 years) have shown hope.
But now fits your particular attention to for you: If your are in the upcoming holiday on the road, the dangers are much larger than your selected applications in places where you mutually know and trust. Please be careful. Travel time is CrimeTime . Only when someone happens to be a serious matter, some will realize how good it is today and all the weeks actually attend. Spared us this insight! Let us be thankful for every day that we live in peace and health - and we meet as people - not, including our mistakes, quirks, hopes and dreams.
that you walk this path with us, makes us grateful and happy.
In this sense, we wish you a fulfilling season of Advent and a Merry Christmas
Pablo, Cordula, Uta & many more

From the very readable monthly report by Steffi (Santa Cruz).
" wanted one evening I pick up my host mother
from the bus stop, but my
project took a little longer and so
I came across a half hour after the
vera talked of time. I just wanted to run the
small pieces to the house alone, as
my host mother roadside stand
saw. I was very pleased that they so long for
had been waiting for me, but she said only
smile: "I'm the mother hen, and a
hen can not sleep when not all chicks in the nest are. "
One day sleeps an old fisherman in his fishing boat. A tourist comes over, looks at the whole thing a while
, it raises then the old fisherman, saying: "Why do you rest up from Would you go now out to sea, so
you were many fish caught from the profit you could. buy you a net and catch more fish. Sometime
you can afford a second boat and catch thousands of fish. Then your own boat! Yes, and at some point, if your
you own fishing operation, did so, then you can relax and look out on the calm sea! " Enthusiastic end of the tourist.
And the old fisherman replied, smiling: "But I surely do now."

is very important, do not feel sorry for the street boys, they do not need the
pity. They are not the poor little guys who are alone at night shivering
side of the road and want nothing more than a family.
These guys are usually plucked from home. Broadly speaking, running
it usually follows from: The families here are often so poor that they let the
children work hard on the street they sell little things steal
or begging. When they come home at night with the money to get
many first shots of the father who gets drunk with the money.
During the day the boys will learn to know other kids who are already torn
, and living on the street, come into contact with drugs. And
some point then the question arises as to why she actually her father's
Money to bring home when you collect still beating when
as they will easily remember the money for themselves, you can probably live on the streets in
freedom with their friends. In addition, the boys
need money for some time simply mostly self in order to finance their dependency
.
And so comes the day that is no longer the boy home.
In his clique on the street he feels strong, the cohesion is like
usually that of a family.

"Before you judged a man, you need a month in
his Mokkassins be gone."
This saying is for me an incredible wisdom
and importance.
I try to sense at least, as have the Mokkassins the
kids feel in my projects ...

I am very happy with my projects, I belong to my main project COMPA
must get to know other sides. It is very nice to be able to go with these strands of development work
