The CULTURE IS THE KEY OF THE LIFE written by LORENA

Within two months and half, approximately, we will travel to Ruai (Kenya) which overflows a culture different from ours. What exciting is to know its customs, the way to be and to live, its routine of every day…!
To go to Africa is to go to the encounter of a culture with a great wealth. It is to go, first of all, to learn its customs and traditions and thus to be able to value, to become rich, to share, to love and to live more deeply our faith.
Like every human being, we have acquired the culture to through of the family and the place in which we have been born and to which we belong.
But if we look in the dictionary the word CULTURE, this one means: "Intellectual or artistic development". Which is the best place to be able to develop it? THE SCHOOL.
But the school also needs means, at least basic, to be able to teach. For that reason, it is necessary that the school of Ruai ((Kenya) can have a building with library so that children not only may remain with the traditions and customs of their town, but that also learn through books.
Therefore, the culture includes all the aspects of the life of a human being: its form to dress, the food, the form to greet each others, the relationship among the people, in special, the place who occupy in the life of the people, the learning,… among other many things.
So, they are going to open the doors to us of Africa and we are going to leave our sand of granite to them.

IN ORDER TO LIVE IN A BETTER WORLD AND MORE JUST written by EUDALD

If an extraterrestrial one would come to visit to us, surely would he think that all the people we are equal?Do we all enjoy the same opportunities?Do we all have in practical way (no in theoretical way ) the same rights?Do we all enjoy the same well-being?Do we all have television set flat screen, mobile phone with wap technology, laptop with wi-fi to connect to us in any place and at any moment?Do we all eat every day? Do we all have potable water just by opening the faucet?These and other many questions, unfortunately have an answer that all we know very well… but that we try to remove from our mind. We are very well installed in our comfortable well-being to the point somebody comes to tell us that the other people also exist and most of them do not enjoy a standard of life like us… and if we do not do nothing partly we are becoming accomplices and responsible of this injustice… And those other people are also like us: “ If they pierce, do not we bleed? If they tickle to us, do not we laugh? if they poison to us, do not not die? “(of The merchant of Venice of Shakespeare).We are not the good and justice, but still we can contribute our “sand granite” to live more just in a better world and more juest.
