Who Do You Congratulate After Engagement

A SMALL PROJECT WITH THE HELP OF MANY (1)



The community of Ancon de Sardinas (also known as Palma Real) is the last bastion of Ecuador, at the extreme limits between Colombia and Ecuador in the province of Esmeraldas (see note below).

A place to magical surrealism, without space and time. You arrive by river, by canoe for an hour and a half of San Lorenzo, the nearest town. Yet
a strategic position. A channel of communication with neighboring Colombia, a bridge for trafficking of all kinds.

By boat, by sea, arrived in Colombia in one night. And you travel with chickens, pigs, gas cylinders, furniture, clothing, gasoline white ..... and any other goods sold or comprabile on the two coasts.

The 1200 people inhabit the majority of Colombian origin, all African descendants.
There is only one elementary school that is not enough for a population with high birth rates and so many heads to be educated.
There is also a middle school. And if you want to continue studying you'll have to go to live somewhere else, because there is no high school.

People are sick with dengue and malaria. Use the river water for drinking, bathing, doing laundry, throw rubbish.

The needs of the community are numerous and the head of the school asks us to support chairs, blackboard, desk and a motor boat for the college every morning walks around the river to retrieve the pupils. A school bus water.

With the help of many, these purchases will be made.

You can follow this blog on the project.

NOTE:
Esmeraldas, the green earth, is a piece of Africa in Ecuador.

Infinite are the legends that tell of a galleon of slaves from black Africa and landed on the shores esmeraldegne for pure calculation error in the route ... or .... or a storm or a wreck .... will to be free ... in short, the Ecuadorians have invented!

Esmeraldas, pearl green, lying on the north coast as in an attitude of rest after the long and steep downhill race from the Andean cordillera.

Esmeraldas, from the tribal rhythms of the marimba, the Mapal, sounds and percussion of arruyos, songs to celebrate important moments, birth, marriage, death.

Esmeraldas, rich in vegetation, fish, shrimps, crabs, shells, ocean earth ... and yet the poorest in the country with the highest rate of anafalbetismo, with lower wages, with a level of service base that leaves the time that it finds.

Esmeraldas colorful, lush green it hurts the eyes, the blue of the sea mingles with the sky, the red crabs, blinding yellow the sun, ebony skin, glossy, shining, reflecting.

Time Bank

About the Bank Time
time banks are Italian, "free association of people who self-organize and share time for help, especially in small daily necessities. This is not an exchange of goods or services with a market value estimate. Banks of time are places where you retrieve lost the habits of mutual aid now typical of good neighborly relations. Or is extended to people previously unknown to the habitual support are exchanged between members of one family or groups of friends. "
The "basic rule that applies in all the banks of Time. Is the exchange."
Synonym for mutual benefit, exchange presupposes, by its very definition, that people who come into contact are active. Consequently, unlike in the Volunteers (which is based on giving aid to those in need of assistance), "the solidarity movement in BT is not a single direction. And 'mutual and equal. The time is measured in hours and exchanged the 'hour is 60 minutes for all, regardless of profession, by social class or economic conditions of individuals. " The BT
are used to meet material needs and immaterial needs. Among the former, prevalent those related to the organization of the daily life of individuals and families, among the latter, the need for companionship and to broaden the network of friends.
banks, in fact, are places to socialize, which promote also the sharing of knowledge and expertise.
The list of aid that are exchanged and measured in hours is very long. Can be divided into two main areas: first, the prevailing, is composed of minute performance that concern the conduct of everyday life (shopping, cooking, laundry, relations with public bodies, children, the elderly, leisure time together ...); the second, also very popular because it promotes socialization, the exchange of knowledge. That is, the exchange of knowledge that individuals possess. This second type of trade equates knowledge on the market (computers, languages, painting, photography ...) and knowledge out- market "in the sense that they not be attributed to economic value. It 's the case of knowledge of older people (how people lived years ago, traditional crafts, as was the city ...) and home (recipes, embroidery , lace, stretch ...).


The organization of a Time Bank
The organization of BT, with regard to exchanges of time and their accounts, is copied from real banks. For example: trade you pay by check taken from a booklet provided to each member and each member has its own bank account where the bank's office marks the credits (the time period, totaling checks deposited) and debt (the hours received, ie allowances spent).
Compared to real banks, makes it quite different to a particular BT: you do not accrue interest on deposits and even pay you when you go red, but there is a balanced budget constraint. Who retired only, with courtesy and understanding is called to return, but if it makes you smarter, more politely, shown the door.


Anyone Who benefits, and man and woman of all ages can join a Time Bank. The vast majority of the members and promoting members are women, but after the initial phase of nearly all female, there is also a good share of men who, by joining, find that they can meet the needs of a ball away from their culture. To prevail among the members persons who are employed.
