Ser acción | Paulo Martín | TEDxUHemisferios


My name is Pablo Julián Martín. I am going to

die clarifying that martín in yapeyú and

I’m not interested in name e

I am very convinced first good

to clarify is that I am a volunteer that arrived

here because of the earthquake

postpone the story in addition the traveler

and I’m mostly convinced that the

world is going to change with big or

small actions that do not believe that

because an action is small

things are not going to have their fruit in

March 2016 go on a trip with some

friends to and very nice the truth with a

Amazing project to leave with 25 friends

for america to travel the world

starting obviously by South America nothing

We left in March and started to walk

we reached the height of Peru huacachina

an oasis and it turns out that they started me

get messages from friends message from my

parents

asking to see that it was okay that his

mission did not understand what was happening was 16

April 2006 and there had been a

earthquake was not aware because it is

in the middle of the trip I start in the form

little of this because of all the

questions they asked me first you

I told everyone that I was fine

I was a little far away but how nice

I’m very interested in giving a hand and so

that I started to investigate a little about the

theme and the next day good one of the

guys with her that I told her too

what was happening I said good no

I’m going to play

the truth that I do not have a friend I do not have

a family member did not pass anything I do not have

no commitment to this place but

I think that help is needed and today I can

give

so good that same night we did not go

to the bus terminal to see no

we knew how we had to go in search

so that the plane was easier but in

bus

we do not have the money for consumption either

direct or anything we went through several

local buses until we get to

guayaquil where you had and a friend who

I had seen many years ago

we chat with them

aware of what what happened in the

city and talks good we started to

tell of reality because one thing is

what you see by teleocho messages

or what do I know then when I arrived at

place you realize what was happening

he really put it on and told us

that was so that the places more

complicated that there was tarqui in

blanket

so good that same night we took

another bus so we keep traveling

past 44 days they travel until we arrive

but the important thing for us is the

arrival imports the number of buses or

the hours that were needed seemed

we got here was terrible for

us the truth that it is the first time

who spoke like this in public this topic is in

that moment was a great one in favor that

It was that I had not been affected

had had no affected family member not

had passed the then I had that

coldness objectivity to be able to measure

the steps and open that you can give a hand

but it will be done to see this, there was never

Argentina is a country that does not have

earthquake have nothing in that

meaning we are pretty calm

suddenly they arrived roissy where there was

an absolute silence unam

the feeling of saying good that we do

here we know what we are coming from but until

do not see it you do not realize the

magnitude we had between fear and desire and

it was complicated

we saw walls of the building to demolish

I was full to notice that it is one of

the most affected places within demand

and has seen how this one is a simple

notice that you took a photo at that time and

take the picture and I followed but it was happening

time and putting them together is this

presentation looked at I say how big that

was that how terrible and good that

I just was not there because sometimes one

he always wants to help

do something but good sometimes one is

studying they do not have work has

responsibility that can not leave a

side and then how good was the

time to be able to help then that

it says good we arrived with my friend

we started to tarqui and has made

I had never done any kind of

volunteering because my life has

taken elsewhere

I studied graphic design will not perceive

I am a lifeguard and they worked to rescue the sea

i vent and spain

more in my life took me on that side

but I was never going to bring food to a

home or had gone to give a hand to people

in street situation because there had not been

given and suddenly get to this was like

very important to us but not

We knew how real we are and many people

he told me but he ‘s waiting for someone

that you are going to eat like him I do not have

idea

the truth that I have no idea to see a

camp I do not know I have a tent one

sleeping bag and you want like that

will reach I will not eat earns but

Brazilian

so well we started the question

to see what we could do we went through

different hostels and others but in a

beginning the first days was everything very

chaotic and if he was not a fireman he was not

doctor or psychologist help was difficult

even though we explained that he said look

It does not make sense that you have a doctor

that this one does not separate or food not that

make your profession and I do these

things that are not going to be that it does not have

meaning that e

well many comings and goings we could not

because I also do not arrive with my backpack

with a friend who was on the bus and not

we had an organization that

will make it look like we did not have

much idea of ​​the subject was grudging but

we had to start putting a brake

because if he does not win it, I do not know anything

it depends how he managed then good

three frustrating day because really

There was a lot to do and we want to help

and we did not find the return we tried

those defeated by the other and it was

coherent no longer but as I’m not a fireman

with a doctor who is going to do here was

to explain everything he could do

for one of those things I got a

message a friend who tells me I have a

a well – known one of removing it morals that

many will have heard today is a great

my friend and her husband and daughter who has

an organization called cari care

with camps and does not know because there is another

similar

then times organization that is

taking his to all those affected and

the rest

then I became more luso in several

Argentines and able to know again from

this way so we do not put ourselves in

today they are very close friends of mine

then we laugh because the amount

of messages that are read messages

calls all the time he turned it

crazy and something made answer Message

from just one volunteer I’m here I want

help

I have my backpack, nothing more

I have no idea if there will be nothing

I have a hand and intend to use more so

good luckily nothing we can or can not

we can contact and two days

working for sanvicente simply

I told him look at the cinema where I go to

know how to get there is attacked so it’s supposed

nothing easy but good came to the place

in evening dress

I had never gone I did not know what a

extra copy all new to me but the

it’s really good to have all the

eager to learn because when you go to a

humble with desire to learn to learn

fast and more when you had to apply not

so fast also then we arrived

we arrived at night and good, we started at

another day I started to see that I repeat what

same that grows before it was fundamental

for me and also for many who

surrounded was that he had not lost family

I had not had a loss then

I could take things more calmly

because suddenly it arrives and beautiful funda

to talk to her about other things and

there really was a lot of desire but if the

you win you do not know how to channel with the desire

we do not do anything if there are suddenly 200

bottles thrown the latter

burst because sometimes it’s better to have

one more second to support and do the

things well but at that time there was

Many people that I really wanted but

I was affected or I was in a hurry because

I had never driven August as well as

I did not know that the day after I could not

solve some things then like

vogue I said this to organize study

because apart they came to the court by

luck and took the opportunity to thank

they are surely part of that

the amount of donations that was already

unbelievable luckily we get tired not

we stop working and we are or all the

day for the amount of things we can

to wear so much thanks to

everybody

among other good things I told you I saw

that was everything less than what really

he had won one he thinks he can tell

people are not going to be careful that they

he’s in a hurry he wants to do things right

so he spoke with ezekiel who was

in charge of all this part gave look

I think what is needed here I knew that

I organized I can take care of that you

It seems

so I would have liked to go in all

the brigades that did it because they are

complicated

carla sent everything to amavi countries together

to the thing they classified and took

to the different places because the people

I did not know that in the city ​​they had gone

out of fear and then and now

the truth was there were people where

bring medicines food and other

then I told him I ‘m dying for and for those

places because I liked having seen the

movie rescues people that I but from

suddenly a part that did not look like it was

very important because suddenly since

He arrived in Spain and which is under the

waters is not a book of mine then it started

to organize that was all very work

long

so the truth was very important

that the participation of all of the entire

people who also came came to give a

hand

that also allowed me to do a little

the place is a bit the place and

get involved with people

suddenly there were many words that I

I will take a stock exchange if the bag or

Found good but stupid but still

was missing foundation commented that we look

refunda knowles

so that’s how good that led me to

keep working today

today and his field director working

with them the band that we follow

working hard this week I saw that

now on April 11

we inaugurated a community center in

bay now we are about to start in a

week or canoe

but we are also working on

new areas in the tena part

we are also working on how to

called miracle of floods and so on and

try to give a hand where you can

but do not forget the good positive

that the boys that the truth that we are

working with many people because

there were also many boys on the street

because there was no school

still then harness the energy and

the boys to give a hand are made

those a little bit by definition

good to see today because yes or yes

download and because I stayed I have

my whole family said and in Spain my

Argentine brothers both judge him not

He knew nobody nobody nobody then

it is good to take responsibility

even though they do not have it, their

responsible I did not have something I had to

come because it’s just not very

important to come because it is because it has

you want because they have help, do not look for

great excuse not the truth that is more

serious because he had this problem come to

play because he did not stop with one leg

so from now on I realize

that nothing happened to me nothing at all and

that ‘s good to see because of

suddenly many of you many

people will have passed them that if not

well if nothing happens to me because I’m going to go

and suddenly I see a lot of talk even you

burn one by one that forgives loses the

another one that happened very sad and is that if one

find that is to that initiative to

Simon from that the great thing

but we also can not sit down

expect that to go from one so good

I’m still working on the street because

mainly because we try to

to get involved suddenly we have to

make a community center and we try

of getting the funds to talk to him

with the mayor’s office because the mayor’s office

we load a part bureaucracy not you

It also allows to make long projects

term

then we try to talk to them and

participate and we put it together with the people what

we build with people buy more the

thing the place so that people can

get ahead

on the one hand on the other we have very

clear that we are not protagonists myself

I do not want them to see that I’m here and I’m the

hero who comes to save that we do not

interest

we want to be tools for

that they themselves are the ones that come out

go ahead and that’s fundamental

fundamental for them also for

for your resilience it is essential that

I have why if suddenly the

solution and I’m going to spend the same between

Korea and they do not have to be done

thing else I do not remember well eh

but finally closing all this that

he probably gave me a lot of things

but really that I could have given

one hour but ordering them cost me

quite a year and a peak takes out I decided

keep all my people still far away and

Last new people here that supports me

very much and it is very important to me

izarra with a little thing that no matter

if there is a disaster and trick to order everything

a collection center or all nations

that really was pu

the amount of never go down so much

trucks like that time is that no

I would get up at five in the morning to

start but not only to save time

and one occasion causes the right climate

for me it was quite complicated

then the heat while mapfre

while earlier around here so

good we spent the day to day hours hours

without stopping but good for more than they are

activities or actions as big as

that simple commune

everything is going to have an impact

last days and is that I met between

many other families that I most

they changed the diet to change

behind the factory the mate albert del

cassava bread

but good in the end all these things but

I got used to the super people

hospitable in their homes in

manabí one will not eat they will save

silence for being impressed but it’s the

true that great because it is very

cozy did not know anything and suddenly

great everything is as if a family of

four brothers of whom Pablo

they are more or less than 50 and 60 years old

Pablo has a brain disease that

he is sitting in the wheelchair with

the sister who has down syndrome and

the other two sisters live alone

they try to give him forward always

you go you do not need anything more than a

smile that he is a bit of volleyball

chat for a while that seems like a

foolishness but this is not the most

habitual

diaz according to accompany a

school that we were helping

build some walls that had been

fallen comes with me I was always going to be

goal like that half clown came in

all flight courses the guy how

he’s going

we have obviously taken notebooks

taken a lot of things notebook

pencils books has died and whenever

we were saying this notebook is for

to do the tasks that I always

we talk to the boys about their behavior

well do the tasks to see that the

teacher was not going to tell if it’s okay or

I do not work or they are doing they do not go

finally that day I go with Pablo and he started

go through all the jumper contributed

boy as he always shouts and kicks

I love being a little with that

because every time you feel joy

and good people

and today was the last course of this for

enter the classroom of the boys of 7 years and

I get more out that tells me that paula

chaves that was telling a joke but the

guys are laughing at your friend

I think it’s also weird but the

team not like a day comes to give

an earthquake hand that that work before is

good to shake hands with a friend in a

moment to try to achieve it

because he’s a kid that I really get

a lot those guys in a little

seven years but it’s good that one

take charge that you do not give a hand a

big hand with defeats something so simple

like that

because those guys were laughing and between the

listening now how they have been seven years

I speak to them like that because that’s how we

we understand and speak clearly with the

guys, I think it’s always better for the boys

we talk about tasks of behaving well what

great they have a house, but we are going to another

thing is the boy is outside did not choose

surpassed is a person needs

respect needs to be accepted integrated

and received with a smile like the same

what is receiving is what really

pablito did not understand anything

it really is good to add without

commit that if I really do not know that

that of changing the world is something very very

big but with those little things of

a giant earthquake to something more

simple is how things are going to change and

the truth that invited them to commit

for things to improve

from the biggest to the most things

little girls like that I worked

[Applause]
