FOR THE END OF THIS CLASS =(

I REALLY CHANGE MY MIND ABOUT...


Despite not being able to give my conclusion orally and expose my blog, I will write here what I take from this class =), if I had to stay with something I choose my social action, because I loved sharing beautiful evening filled with paint that long ago I didn't enjoy, and stop seeing it as a waste of time but as an investment that left me great rewards, I learned much of what I had to do in class, develop patience and most of all I learned about myself, able to discover new things as the care of a plant and create my own compost, I think I put into practice the true meaning of being a responsible person, responsible for more than just depended on my, head to brighten someone's evening, responsible that after months of mix leaves and debris can build a compost for a  plant to alive.

I learned that being socially responsible is not only helping others, is to change something in me that others notice the change and to understand the force that includes being socially responsible, I do not think being a great example of this, but I think there were many change,s compared to me when I started the class with denisse out of class now, I understand things much better and I could open a little on my mind for new experiences and that was great.

WASTE MADE SOIL =)

FINALLY MY COMPOST BECOME IN SOIL =)

was very interesting to make this compost, because it really was a learning process ... months ago had no idea that waste land could become compost, and it is best that the process is not complicated it is to let nature do its job, you just give him a little help.

stir and remove after week after week away, I could see how this is going to start breaking down and was a thick where they saw many skins of fruits and leaves and eggshells without breaking even, then everything was getting more homogeneous even in color ... due to the climate had to change my compost to a more dry and the rain would end up damaging all, it was much better because I saw relocate as this mass began to separate and become pieces of land. =)

and now finally there is a land that I can use of fertilizer for other plants in my garden.

I am very happy to have gotten done away compost, finally I find that anything can be turned into food for others.

ACERCA DE LA VERDAD

El derecho de saber la verdad...

Después de discutir un poco este tema en clases, yo considero que toda persona tiene el derecho de recibir una información veraz libre de manipulaciones, pero el derecho a conocer la verdad no solo depende de quien proporciona la información, también depende de quien la recibe, si no estás del todo conforme tienes la opción de investigar, levantar tus propias conclusiones, de expresar tus argumentos y de tomar como cierto lo que crees que debería se de esa manera.

Saber la verdad no es solo que alguien afirme una información como verdadera y que todos digan lo mismo, solo porque uno o muchos secundaron la moción, saber la verdad es también creer en tus ideales y defenderlos, tener el derecho a recibir una información correcta sin mentiras y libre de manipulaciones es parte fundamental para el ser humano, pero tambien debe ser obligación, para los gobiernos, los medios de comunicación y público en general proporcionarla.

No debemos acusar de manipulación porque creo personalmente que no seríamos manipulados si no lo hubiésemos permitido, es una problemática consentida estamos conscientes de que nos mienten y nos manipulan sin embargo no hacemos nada para cambiarlo.

Considero hasta cierto punto que las personas son más felices de esta manera, porque querer dañar tu felicidad con una verdad que quizás ni siquiera llegue a afectar tu entorno, somos personas que aplicamos el dicho de "si no lo veo, no existe", preferimos hacernos ciegos, así evitamos hablarlo y por ende involucrarme en temas que de verdad me afectan me importan y me competen.

Finalmente el punto no está en reclamar una verdad y recibirla para después no hacer nada, quiero saber que sucede con mis desperdicios, para después callarme por que era una noticia que no me esperaba?
Es preferible que pidamos la verdad cuando sepamos que hacer con ella, y creo que es el momento en el que empecemos a cuestionarnos que vamos a hacer vivir ciegos alejando todo lo que no se parezca a mi bien construido entorno?? o simplemente reaccionar y tratar de tomar medidas con esas verdades incómodas??

Les dejo estas preguntas para que se las respondan y comenten un poco para saber que opinan =)

voluntariado

ART IS FOR THE SOUL... A REALLY THERAPY.

I definitely think art has powers that no science can have on the body, mind and soul, I say mostly because I've seen the effects caused by the old people as they paint.

after painting are much more relaxed, more docile and disposed to work without feeling pressured, they feel happy with what we can achieve with their own hands, I feel useful to know that they can paint and a stranger to them can appreciate they do.

Participate in volunteering has changed many things, but rather reminded me of things I already knew existed, only that sometimes have the bad habit of making excuses, the time has enslaved us while we are not willing to sacrifice anything, and now they see it as a sacrifice, or as something that I should stop while I'm a volunteer, is rather an investment.

You invest your time listening experiences, see smiles even last a moment, to create special moments, to disconnect from your reality to be empathetic to the reality of others, being a volunteer is much more than going to put a big smile and good encourage is to have the ability to know that with a small action you generate great changes, make a mark not to be remembered if not for you to remember that you helped someone.

and as we discuss in class about social action and said that many times not even agree on your behalf, to me the opposite happened and I am happy that even though 3 years have passed and I still can remember and be happy to see me, for me has been something that is priceless.

actually it was like receiving a reward in advance. and I'm glad the heart.

Asilo Plaza Dañin

ANOTHER DAY IN VOLUNTARIADO.

Today was a very special day, although few people realize attended art therapy in the rain I guess they were unmotivated and a bit lazy ... I was special because he is reunited with Humberto's a grandfather who was in charge for a year while doing my social action at school.

It was really rewarding to see him again, and above all I remember so well, to remember every detail of my life I had told him at the time, or all the time we left to see us beat my heart sincerely a nice way I'm glad the evening and the entire week.

It's those moments when you think you can become a very special for someone who does not think, and how they influence the life of someone else, knowing that you are able to leave a positive mark on something that is priceless.

I definitely want to stay as long as possible in volunteering, I would like to continue talking to Humberto and helping you relax doing art therapy.

I love watching as the paint can all be transported to worlds or eras that only they can live in your imagination and can only be released while painting, I believe in the power of painting because I love painting and my usually the same effects.

Mi watermelon plant.

MY WATERMELON PLANT CONTINUES GROWING UP

Finally my plant is more strong and big =') I'm so glad because ... I didn't think that my plant would survive and who started a lot of rain and bad weather would start to damage their leaves.

but after all this finally grew larger and spread throughout the area of land that I put to her.

I really felt I was putting the effort was worth it, its leaves are very green and very lush this only now I expect to grow a little more to it starts to bloom and then have the first fruit.

I wondered what the real purpose of take care the plant and I think it is for us to understand what it really means that other lives depend on our actions, knowing the value of a plant in nature and after all feel respect for any living being.

I understand that not just a duty or task in hand is a responsibility taken on a commitment that brings great rewards

is something you expect to happen because you really become attached to that piece of life that they care.

And so ... I hope it grows and can finally have a delicious watermelon =).

“Blessed is he who prefereth his brother over himself”

“Blessed is he who prefereth his brother over himself”

Preferring others before yourself first is a phrase that invites you to reflect, not only tells us leave aside selfishness, but also to be altruistic to think that we should not only be benefited but with our actions benefit to others, doing things for the pleasure of knowing that most people are good people not only the entire ecosystem.

I think trying to lead us to be aware that we must move to a more mature age, who not only know that there is something called justice, but who really understand and grasp that actually means justice.
A mean others will not be selfish way of being that usually develop in our days of childhood where we want to do things our own way without considering the consequences.

Justice is about had the faculty of distinguish truth of the falsehood, and the powder of create consciousness of humanity.

It should not be seen as a rule but is more likely to guide life, otherwise you could cause harm is imminent, it's like he implied every time you say "you" unconsciously generated a feeling of rejection do just the opposite.

use the word "prefer" is much more intelligent because it does not mean you have to stop loving yourself. Nor is it a challenge or an obligation is when you want and when you understand that people living around you should also be cared for and protected.
As early as adolescence often come into conflict with themselves and their identification when they are in their time of transition. Instead, it is important to spend time and actions yourself, too, because otherwise you will not have the energy to give to others.

Be blessed if you prefer your brother before yourself, is something that you should always be born, it's about not giving what is left if we have what appears to us not only to materials, to emotions , to smile, give life, give love, give protection, and above all respect the space of others, the decisions of others, respect life and to be fair and equitable to every aspect of our lives.

Recycling Bulletin Board

RECYCLING BULLETIN BOARD

Michelle my classmate and I were in charge of making the bulletin board the week of January 2, while we investigate and review the past billboards, we realized that people have little interest in reading.

For this reason we decided to make protest signs appear instead of information so when they come near to see what it is, keep in mind that recycling is an important issue and despite being told many times still no real awareness of the issue takes .

We decided to hang up pouch bags that serve very well to be reused many times and then go through a recycling process without problem, and also try to show that waste should be divided according to their classification.

All materials used were reused to build the billboard just avoid printing so we work with less impact to the environment.

social action PLAZA DAÑIN

VOLUNTARIADO =)

Make this social action, it brings to me good memories, 3 years ago I had the wonderful experience of working with them for a year while in the high school.

Now that I work with them again, this time doing art therapy and it was very nice because I met most of them and I was excited to see them again.

The first week unfortunately we couldn't perform the workshop, and only Valentina and I was there, and for that reason were not able to order materials, but we had company in the group of nurses from the Hospital Guayaquil, then a little help to make their activities because for them it was the first day.

Asylum is definitely a place where people like them are never alone, always have many activities, but are people that need much attention, since most have abandoned his family.

and you can feel like they are happy that you take time to listen and serve. I understood that we often complain about not having enough time, but spend those few hours to make someone feel important rather than an expense is an investment.

CERRO BLANCO

A GREAT MORNING IN CERRO BLANCO.

disconnect from the world for a moment.

Eliana, Kathy, Karina and I went one morning a Cerro Blanco, a little discouraged because we thought the truth would be a little tired because they had too many other mosquitoes.

We took the route of 1 hour and a half, called the canoe path, Joel starting our guide explaining the route with the map, hey explained us that currently Cerro Blanco is on danger and all species are being threatened, and that on one side there developments of the site while the other side there is a quarry and thats why all the species migrate to the center of the forest and increasingly less frequently observed.

News that made ​​me really sad because I think a place that holds so much life should have more support from the government, Cerro Blanco is a natural reserve, and has interesting facilities, including camping houses, a small zoo of species rescued, and other interesting things, if they had a budget for maintenance and promotion have a greater awareness among people.

There were many things that struck me the tour, as trees that take the lives of other trees to survive are calls "Mata Palo" and have a curious legend, say that in this kind of trees lives a troll called tin tin, famous love Manabi for girls and take with him, others are huge and achieve up to 4 m or more in diameter and not to mention how high they may be, embrace causes and stay there for a while when you do feel like one you channel energy.

Although we couldn't see more animals only mosquitoes around the path jajaaja, but we could hear the song of many types of birds, which had a very calming effect when mixed with the sound of water from the streams was inexplicable.

Also we saw in the distance a giant tree where the Caciques birds had made nests in order to live, I loved because they had a very interesting and a little bag for protection.

we could see a small waterfall that had a small pond full of fish, many spider webs weaving them with small species, and also a Pangora of river an animal like a crab, that lives only in rivers.

I think it was much better to make the trip at the end of the class, rather than at the beginning because I am now more aware of certain concepts of coexistence with our environment, and I have even more aware of what is being socially responsible.

I think all your actions, however small or great effect causing you to see whether or not someone is hit either negative or positive for every action you make. is therefore important to always think beyond what your eyes let you see.

and I could see in white hill, many species could be observed before the eye, now only heard in the distance, had broken before a large force of water today are dry in the middle of the path.

I enjoyed the trip was off all the pollution of the city away from everything for a moment, no phones, no internet, no phone calls, only pictures and appreciate everything he saw. However I was saddened to learn that a beautiful place has very little support.
