/media/5357/proyecto_bibliomula_m_rida.jpg0 <p>Hallo friends! We would like to invite you to participate to our campaign and to collect money in order to help theBibliomulaproject in Mérida (Venezuela). We highly estimate your help since thanks to you all we will keep on developing our idea that 'bringing books to communities' is a step towards a better world.</p> <p>Bibliomulaproject in Mérida started in 2010 with the involvement of three rural schools in the Venezuelan Andes. The name of the project stands for 'the donkey library' and it aims at the promotion, the strengthening and the encouragement towards reading and writing for children and teachers. &nbsp;Bibliomulavisits the communities once per week and launches reading activities, tales and games aiming at brighten up the reading matters. The 'donkey library'crew is composed by: the reading promoter, the mule driver and Frailejona, the mule carrying books and tales in her saddlebag. Once per week they undertake the path towards the Páramo Mountains in order to meet the Andean communities living at 3.000 meters above the sea level.&nbsp;Teachers and promoters are coached by means of workshops dealing with competence in reading contents and preparation of reading and writing strategies; the workshops, taking place once per month, are given by experts in the field.&nbsp;</p> <p><img src="/media/5027/proyecto_bibliomula_m_rida.jpg" width="259" height="194" alt="Proyecto Bibliomula Mérida"/></p> <p>During the first year more than 170 children took advantage of the project and empowered and strengthen their reading skills; 25 teachers have been trained on reading and writing strategies by means of workshops; about 150 books have been donated or bought. The next step is the opening of a reading room for the entire community in the Mitantí shelter.</p> <p>If you need more information do not hesitate to contact us at <a href="mailto:bibliomulasmerida@gmail.com">bibliomulasmerida@gmail.com</a> or take a look at our blog <a href="http://www.bibliomulamerida.blogspot.com/">www.bibliomulamerida.blogspot.com</a></p> <p>If you want to help us, make a donation to COOPERATIVA CARIBANA at the Banca Popolare Etica</p> <p>Bank account:&nbsp;IBAN: IT 71 S 05018 12100 000000113748 - BIC: CCRTIT2T84A</p> 0 <div> <p>What is Fandema?</p> <p>Fandema is a local and community development project for women. Its objective is the implementation of women's working abilities by means of entrepreneurial trainings in Tujereng, Gambia. The training is promoted by the association Solidança with the Gambian entity Mbolo Association and its focus is on basic, technical and transversal matters of knowledge aiming at foster women's condition towards a change in their family's lives. The working training aims at creating job positions and products that allow to finance and implement the project of Fandema.&nbsp;The Project involves 97 women, between 18 and 65 years of age, and has 3 main goals:</p> <p>1. To improve adult women basic education;</p> <p>2. To create job positions and new business opportunities in the job market;</p> <p>3. To empower women in the community.</p> <p>Something happened on the 26 of December of 2011: the neighbors, living next to the community, burnt stubble and weed of their fields in a really windy day. When Fandema asks them to stop it, they denied it. Fire burnt some of Fandema buildings: the classrooms, the shop and the multipurpose hall. We would like to explain you the structure of the Fandema center in order to show all that we have lost in the fire:</p> <p>- The main structure, which had the form of a U, hosted 6 classrooms (where trainings took place: English, adult literacy, computing, sewing and&nbsp; aestethic), the house of the security guard and the office;</p> <p>- The shop got two spaces: one for the second-hand clothes sent by Solidança and the other for the hand-made products (tye-dyes, aprons, dolls, etc…);</p> <p>- The multipurpose hall was the most recent part to be open. Once, the yoga courses, the assemblies, the business and personal healthcare trainings took place in the shop. The multipurpose hall was a space imagined for sharing the transversals trainings with the entire communities. Before the fire burnt out, Fandema was preparing the inauguration of the centre, the creation of a "day of the enterprising women" and an exposition of all the outdoor Fandema acrivities.&nbsp;Women, families, neighbors and peasants helped to put the fire out and to clean up the Fandema center after the accident in order to continue the activity for the 97 women involved.</p> <p>Fire affected us directly. We are sad but we are strong. We are looking for ways of recovering and to continue the work that we started.</p> <p>How can you help us?</p> <p><strong>Collection of material</strong></p> <p>At Solidança y Sant Just Solidari (C/Disseminats 25, Les Begudes, tel. 93- 6854434)</p> <p><strong>Economic support</strong></p> <p>Bank account 2100-0449-05-0200058129</p> <p><strong>Technical and human collaboration</strong></p> <p>Sílvia Llopart:&nbsp;<a href="mailto:mediambient@solidanca.cat">mediambient@solidanca.cat</a></p> <p>Malang Sambou:&nbsp;<a href="mailto:msambou@hotmail.com">msambou@hotmail.com</a></p> </div> /media/5375/bebe.jpg0 <p>Me llamo Barbora, pero todo el mundo me llamo Bebe. Soy de Eslovaquia, el pequeño país en el corazón de Europa que la gente o equivoca con Eslovenia o Checoslovaquia, el país que desde 1993 no existe, o al menos no sabe que es su capital. Es Bratislava, mi ciudad. Tengo 23 años. Acabé mi carrera este año, durante mis estudios estaba a menudo viajando porque me encanta mucho. Nunca me interesaron los museos o historia profunda, siempre se me olvidan los hechos y fechas. Lo que importa para mí es observar la gente - como se viste, como es, como se comporta. Y necesito sentir el ambiente de la ciudad. En general prefiero las&nbsp;vistas, las montañas y el mar o un lago por lo menos. Cuando un sitio me gusta, quiero volver, naturalmente. En 2009 me enamoré de Barcelona y desde octubre 2011 aquí estoy… otra vez.</p> <p><img src="~/media/5414/bebe_200x150.jpg" width="200" height="150" alt="Bebe"/></p> <p>Es gracias al Servicio voluntario europeo (SVE), el programa de Unión europea que da una&nbsp;oportunidad a los jóvenes de trabajar en una ONG en el extranjero con todos gastos cubiertos.
