SYRIAN CHILDREN REFUGEES

What is happening in Syria at this moment, is a crystal clear case of genocide. Genocide is an intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group and in this case, the only action of separating children from their parents is genocide, amen of killing people who think different or belong to another sector of your religion.
Although the UN Charter gives States the right to operate without interference in their internal affairs, we are obliged to do as much as possible to promove an intervention in Syria as soon as possible, because most of the times in case of atrocities such as genocide and ethnic cleansing an intervention is possible, though usually they are late, as it will be in this case if States do nothing now.

TWO MORE POEMS

Extracted from "Book of longing" Leonard Cohen

The road is too long
the sky is too vast
the wandering heart
is homeless at last.


LORCA LIVES

Lorca lives in New York City
He never went back to Spain
He went to Cuba for a while
But he´s back in town again

He´s tired of the gypsies
And he´s tired of the sea
He hates to play his old guitar
It only has one key

He heard that he was shot and killed
He never was, you know
He lives in New York City
He doesn´t like it though.


There is also a beautiful adaptation of "The faithless wife" from Lorca but too long.

A DRAGONFLY POEM

Yesterday 4th of February, we were talking about poetry in classroom and I remembered a picture in my bedroom cottage, with a poem about the dragonfly of unknown author. Here it goes:


Dragonfly

Coming and going I can see the star
Touching grassland living with fairy
Loving dragonfly in my dream
Doubled wings flies really low

spreading news around the pond
here comes rain here comes rain
dragonfly is a weatherman.


 

PROYECTO HOMBRE. A NGO IN MOTRIL.

I am a member of this charity because I could see the need of this kind of NGO, especially for young people. The reason comes from the time I was a director in a high school, because I could see how big a problem can be, in a family whose son or daughter is involved with drugs of any kind.

Proyecto Hombre is a NGO that started to work in Spain in 1984. In Motril exist from 2000 in Barranco de la Higuera street, number 11. This NGO works for helping people who are addict to any kind of drugs and wants to be helped.

The first step is to come to the center, where experienced and prepared people knows you and your problem. Secondly the therapy is focused in getting an abstinence and breaking with the world of drugs. At the same time, a process of mature and self-confidence starts, with the goal of increasing the education and lost reponsability, so as, approaching the person to family and society. The assistance may be ambulatory or residential for 4 to 6 months. Special programs are prepared for young people and those in prison.

At this moment my contribution is only with money but not very far it will be as volunteer, giving part of my free time.
