Reference Letter For Community Service Done

Wednesday 12 May

I thought it was yesterday hard to bear, on the train to sit for Quilmes to Astrid and Johanna, two volunteer women with MEDH to visit and see the countless people as they tried to sell something . In the train going in the zona norte , there is almost not the clientele is probably very different. I have always felt that to get rid of most of very little. Johanna said, after work and the Panchos gaseosas went well. How many ways people have? How many are left behind? How many never have the opportunity to do what makes them fun? Cristina from my Defensoría paints on 24th May she have a show.
The sun is shining. To me it is almost always sunny in Buenos Aires before. To what extent the weather corresponds to the mood of the people? The city tearing me apart. I find it hard to endure. I'm doing so well. But sometimes I could be crushed by the ruling suffering.

Today I was in a Defensoría Lomas in the zone in the southwest of conurbano . noise, smell, earthy roads, that are completely flooded during rain due to the lack of sewage system, including the adjacent houses and huts make up the barrio . Many cartoneros are afternoon and evening at the collection point with or without a horse and cart. I have not seen as the worst of all, it was me, when I was in the IERP mission church in San Fernando. Maybe I'm jaded, I think the film by Pino Solanas, La Dignidad de los Nadies . We have seen him when we were in Paraná. Between the City and Santa Fe there is a huge delta-like area, where so many houses were in the water. Inconceivable to me, in a dwelling to live where I might have permanent knee-high water. But it's probably always the poor people closest to the river in the valley on the mountainside living, where the ground is the least secure. Security. How sick this discourse of the privileged, the lowest to the middle class is parroted inside. Who really lives insecure?

Laura is HIV-positive. The meeting on Saturday was for them especially. Me siento útil , told her. The Defensoría meant for them the cut point for a before and after. She tries a different approach with their children, and reminded of Sol, had said on Saturday that they are now with their grandchildren tried to deal differently, which they used with their children could not because they did not know better.
Fue muy fuerte Laura said about the need to complete the biodanzas all have always embraced. She thought that she could not, embrace both other than to embrace. But it was something unique result. She felt as part of the whole, as a person. At first she was afraid she might infect someone, but she noticed that the nonsense. Even with her children she used to worry that she has not touched it for a while. She has made a decision recently that she takes no medications more. I think it had something to do with the confidence to want to live the life of their own, to make decisions without feeling as passive victims. I found the decision quite shocked.
It's true, said Laura, which had said on Saturday Inés that by defensorías a process was set in motion that not only the small steps equal to the ants, it is something enormous in change, they were all witnesses for it.

We need this place of the group, the joint co-sharing, of cooperation. But we are so often caught in the search individual guilt, also agreed Aleja that Coordinadora the zone with. That the whole system of capitalism, violence has on us, we can only discern together and search for ways of change.

But there is death. Together transformation happens. Resurrection?
