more powerful to work in
communities for us have been two
love and painting before telling them
how can you also get involved
in that madness and finish equal
painted that I want to tell you a
particular story when I had
about six years is playing
with all my cousins and my mom we
he called to eat there they served me a
not so nice soup had an appearance
a little weird and the only thing I did was
soup throw me in the face because my mom
did for moms three images of
the face that my mom did the only thing
he did was pick up the dish cry and leave
in the early morning they lifted us up
They said that we took each other for a walk
with all my bonuses
we are happy that rich ride we are going
but this walk was not a walk
I do not like being a yellowist but only
I want you to try with this photo
size a little what for me
it was that ride they called me for an area
from the center not very nice
there were boys and girls consuming
there were women and men
prostituting
it was a very strong scenario for a
six year old girl my mother told us
we have to value life more we have
to value food more
it really was a very shock therapy
great but I asked my mom
because there are those children here because the
police does not come for them that goes through
that these women are here because the
people are not sleeping and my mom
gives some answers that for me not
They were like so full hours
then I called him from that moment
mommy I want to do something for these
children
I want to start serving the world
I do not want this to happen again and
from there and that provoked in me there was a
Giant did not start volunteering
many foundations already started to
collect clothes collect with me
age started going to events started to
do meetings to help more
people and I started also to
support it in all these spaces
I felt in my sauce to me nobody
take away from there and I’ve always been very
intense
then I started getting into everything
absolutely all adult animals
older young children who volunteer
over here we go that a volunteer for
beyond all is not so intense that the
people month already there are fences gets wet is what
that you like my mom happy
with that idea among all
experiences that I had
I had the opportunity to be in a
beautiful citizen festival with some
very nice people who now work
with me in other projects and one of
they are manuela valencia
manu is a friend that I love you with everything
my soul our environment is seeing
I’m very excited to talk about her because
I love her very much
has been a very nice companion and since
that I met her was a very nice moment
because we became very good friends
we started working on other projects
together and we started doing as
our social circles started
as to come back much more united between going
and coming from meetings of spaces of
friends
she told me away that recharge
start this park away
How nice to paint this area of pereira
moves away that collects in a giant pot and
paint everything pereira and I already tired already
that every day he told me that I
I said good
let’s do it but we are going to do it
well let’s do it well but I
questioned a lot as really the
paint can really create an impact
the painting if it can transform
community is really painting if you
can help people to
transform and create social fabric and
we started looking for much more
information about how the painting is
can become a tool of
social transformation and that in many
parts of the world and at the national level
work this methodology
among all this information that
we looked for and our friends who gave us
invitations other places will reach us
two very special invitations is
work with the fishermen of the
swamp and work in siloé in cali
we have ready let’s go there
we did not know what to paint we did not know
how are we going to paint it
We do not know where we’ll never paint
we had painted our life
we had never taken a
brush a brush nothing but we left
learning a lot and it was a
beautiful voice experience not only in the
technical part in the painting we learned
a lot but also in the social part
that’s where we realized how the
painting goes beyond a simple fact
aesthetic
we started to find three pillars
basic that for us has been the
basis of all this experience
the first is that we realized that
the painting unites no matter the sex the
race the creed or if you have any
physical or cognitive limitation
everyone can be part of a
painting day we also gave ourselves
note that the painting is a very good
excuse to empower communities and to
appropriate people from their spaces and
also that not only is there a change
aesthetic but they also help
communities to change that stigma that
for years they have been fighting painting
it attracts a lot of attention and that can
help many communities to get in
the map
then we come to happy pereira
motivated full of much love
we said ready what we are going to do and
we started working in a neighborhood
beautiful called Nacederos located
right next to the airport when they
let’s say about people and we wanted
working on steels made us very expensive
strange do not get cell phone do not go in
car is better that they do not leave day
of luxury but when we got to the neighborhood and
we started talking to the people who
they can not imagine how nice it is
they treated us not to receive with fritters
with chocolate is with hugs with
Smiles
people told us to paint yes yes that
we have to paint let’s make it a
one and the whole neighborhood started working
joined in this project we delayed a
year that we did throughout this year
at the beginning we made tables of
citizen participation with them
inhabitants of the sector
we did characterization surveys
vocal groups cartographies
approaches to leaders and this
information fills us or does the how
We could work makes them
we started to study a lot more of
this information
and we also realized that
We could be a bridge with others
foundations for the mud but I know
who has questioned a lot union change
own that as I can involve it in
the neighborhood also come to me for
look who will call to give
very much love and happiness for the
people who for something as basic as
the one that we have lived a lot now
things that have contributed
have contributed a great and ente to this
neighborhood
that’s where we realized that the
union word if you could see
reflected that we do not use paint
as an end but as a means that
neighbors already speak more to each other than
the communal action board works
much more united and now as
we empower the community and how we
we appropriate your space
we believe and we are convinced
what is needed is out of
community
they are the ones who are going to play after
that any initiative or they
They are the ones who will create after
any initiative make us
we doubt a year in the neighborhood no longer
we are working and we are still in
contact with people but we leave
installed capacity in the neighborhood
At this moment there are three organizations
and foundations that were born from
project of volunteers who went to the
days did we want to continue
working here and now the most
important the aesthetic part and the
stigma of people are very
happy
a port that you are seeing let’s say a
aesthetic transformation of their
households
the sector is playing very nice to
the view
that’s where we put in the
map of the people knew and where
was left to those who lived in
show how they could contribute to
be born and that was what we most
we liked which ones will see the results
throughout the year that we were
first months with the workshops and then
We did six artistic days in
all the days went to the neighborhood 440
volunteers and we can recover 48
spaces throughout the bar
finally I want to make a
ask please stand up the
people who in the last month have done
volunteering
good that in serbia a momentico I
I want you to look very good at these
people because these are the real ones
heroes of the city and those who help us
have a balance and harmony
our society
Applause for them thank you very much
