island how to tell experiences that

changed my life how to convey the

impact and an experience the fall of a

belief system of a worldview

What place does culture occupy in a

person especially when

person takes it as a truth as a

where we are born determines our

look of the world builds a window to

through which we look at reality and

that reality is real or just a picture

framed by society

what happens when you think that

events follow a line

obvious indisputable

when everything can be an argument

intellectual detachment from the

experiences because this one repeats without

too much surprise

what happens then when reality

hit so hard that you run out

words sometimes without air and many times

without term

this is a trip that started in 2009

and still continues to assume that

trips as they think towards the outside

to empty straw into areas

absolutely unknown and internal

unexplored from tussam thus began

all my first destination africa are encouraged

to travel with me

Angola is a country that was many

years in war where the situation

educational was very disorganized

I had groups of 50 students out of 10

and 18

years would give education classes

physical and art as I had played

many years to the volleyball I decided to make a

clinic and there I begin to realize

that everything you do to life serves if

at some point to save

imagine what it was to compensate them for

that he had to play six on each side

because not 1025 we are 50

imagine the rotation for what

because it does to the right

I do not know for me it’s logical that a game

sport has rules and you have to

fulfill them

you see that it is not so logical or talk

the day he gave them a ball

they started kicking the cross country

while I shouted to him to take eol tar

they never came back

they brought the ball to me the next day

I realize that I have to start the

classes locked in a room with a

rag ball and a zone for

cafeteria the rules bodies or see

how I started to see that if they are staying

to play in the free hours after

classes and when you plug the ends of

week

I heard screams peeked out the window

and said my uncle are arming the

teams appeared the judge judge of

line and the referee be well see

when something that put more is contagious

the other takes it over he makes it his and what

shares

we started classes in March and in

September

We hold a tournament for 400 students

we involve the whole community

some donated other cakes prizes

other t-shirts and harp post

a batucada was an experience party

in art it was also very interesting

only materials available sheet a4

a black pencil imagines

had 50 loops and only those materials

I say good morning free drawings for

discharges from leaving as I made boxes

cubes and weights and they deliver it to me in five

minutes

I had two shuras of classes said that

do

let’s go out to nature to look for leaves

of different sizes would work

observation something fundamental for a

artist

good we started working with

sizes light shop compositions with sheet

but everything is exhausted

well ideas I feel together with them and

begins to draw and there begins to see

that caritas were approaching something

magically capi or decided that I

he knew how to draw or maybe he had something

interesting to give them will begin to

draw all the time to everything

I saw how to tell them that the drawing

recurrent was my house and they called the

place

against all odds he decided to do

an art show

the director of the school month no longer

hang nothing because it breaks everything

reported they trusted the most they could ever

explain how we stayed several

nights with the other volunteer percent

the little jobs to fabrics and want to

we peel the school and their faces

Uncle’s astonishment to find the drawing

own teacher to his web or meu traballo

beautiful when someone recognizes

what makes it so beautiful when someone

makes visible was very interesting

also in relation to this and milestone of

trust you to trust when you can

trust as the day we were

playing volleyball with a group of

10 and 12 years and it starts to rain like

only in Africa did I see water curtain in

one second everyone running to the living room

children start teachers we can go or

teacher we can go is not so

they just told me that I say good come out

the kittens took out the shirts and

they went dancing in the rain

There is something more beautiful than enjoying the

life to celebrate life dancing under the

rain

I do not believe the day I was sitting

Sunday morning after a

night of torrential rain and two come

Adorable little Easter girls for dates

water with your shovel you win in the head and you

he asked if they are going to cook he does not tell me

laughing

I see that they take out something that looked like a

jaloncito begin to take off their clothes and

each one begins to bathe in a

puddle

imagine my surprise because my

concern at that time was that I

I did not have hot water to bathe me

impact to the heart

today she was sitting fixing

the volleyball network and a three-year-old girl

he approaches and looks at me amazed

I look at it and it tells me what happens or I come back

to look and he says he has very clear

something must have happened to me outside the

different

the stranger had never asked me

about the color of my skin

there is the day I was walking and

of a lady with a 20- gallon drum

liters of water on the head that walked

weird when suddenly an episode falls

he was epileptic when he manages to return his

only concern in the water

spilled I say do not worry about the

we pay does not tell me I can explain

the lady who was going to receive what

happened he does not tell me before if I do not today

delivered the water

the lady look for someone else and I

I will be without work and page as I could

he got up he put the water can in

head again and addressed the

river to think not something very similar to him

went through Libya one day I’m going to

buy tomatoes to mark in the market

the cholitas sell fruits or vegetables in

Trucks Juan Baskets approached a

that said only tomatoes would be left

10 happy I tell you what it took all not

She says I look at her and she tells me if I sell you

all the tomatoes and my clients come

I will not have anything to give them he looked at her and

I tell him but he does not know if his

customers

although to my clients and I have nothing

to give them to lose my clients uts or

it was with three tomatoes and a lot of

questions in the head of experience in

the area was very interesting too

I lived with the Shuar community in the middle

of the jungle and collaborate with babies

in the nursery he settled in the house

of a family and he calls me to go

to the kitchen because the women of the

community

they want to welcome me to the kitchen

that immense where wood is cooked with

all the works hung I go and see or

rather

I suspect it was full of people

because it was a terrible smoke

I begin to see that there was a lot of

women sitting and in the middle was

with a giant pot stepping cassava

my eyes start to cry because I

they burned port by the smoke

I start to step cassava has passed all

the night traveling in a collective had

walked through the jungle with the backpack and

there I was stepping cassava while

I cried when I see that the hostess

he approaches and begins to spit which one

it was about the pot

the only thing I try is to cum and

I see that the women were getting closer

including the girls to spit while

they encouraged me to not say enough to

I was not crazy or preparing chicha

It is a traditional drink

It seems that the saliva armenta and

transform into a drink is your p

at sunset the owner says to me

when you want to bathe you tell me

you would make towel soap shampoo

and clean clothes says seguime and we were going with

her two little daughters in the

outside the hut there was a vacant

giants where there was a group of

teenagers playing football and

side a tap tells what kind of

bath

here he looked at her surprised

true you say you hide for

bath

I had never thought about it

kitchen to bathe I go to the bathroom

I close the door I open the shower and I

bath

what happens when these actions are

everyday are transformed into

questions is the natural thing that life

then life then for the kids

that I met in the field project

whose rag-tag parents build their

homes on garbage adhere to

start over with them but

I understood everything when I went to find them a

tomorrow with the transport they sleep

cob plays on the garbage and in that

moment thanks to life

I appreciated receiving this message

because those kids every day

they gave immense joy for those

smiles freezer innocence

strangely half hope

as you will understand daughters did not speak

English only camr

Well, I’ve had the most conversations

incredible with them full of gestures

sounds expressions that ended in

laughs and hugs and I asked myself

communicate you is an invisible bridge

that is armed with the other

the incredible desire to meet you

that other that makes you feel special

something held the moment still without

find out

maybe I never understood so much with someone

as at that moment

sometimes they asked me if I do not suffer with

everything I see clearly but the son

transform it into action

I learned to play with the cards that I

touch I’m not going to change the game just to

share what I try to do my best

play find a sun log in

a word a smile in a life and the

life then maybe and just maybe the

life once

hard that is defined while going

living thank you very much
