Protecting A Falling Egg

Why volunteer?

Hace poco un amigo me pidió que le contara el motivo que me llevó hasta África a hacer voluntariado, con la finalidad de publicarlo en una página web destinada a encontrar nuevos voluntarios, y, asímismo, de encontrar patrocinantes para dichos voluntarios; a continuación les contaré eso que le conté a él.

could start by saying that my name is Giuliana Ippoliti Bandes, I have twenty-four years old, I am Venezuelan, and I majored in International Studies in November of last year.

could narrow, too, that I have always been characterized by having a very idealistic vision of life. I am a positive woman who seeks to always seek ways to understand the causes and hazards of the world, without focus, or better, to put it differently, without engaging in the troubles that force many people to resign themselves to accept that the world will never change and that can not win this battle ancestral against evil, yeah! the evil that comes from the human hand, the human mind, which knows how to destroy building and knows very well these theorems to make money through the suffering of others ... being so, when - apparently without anyone noticing, hunger, became the business of hunger, diseases, the business of disease, poverty, the business of poverty and war, business of war. It was for this reason that some people became victims and victimizers other, leaving an empty space (but never forgotten) for helping those who decided to occupy.

For this reason, and although it "could" begin to write these lines as I did, I would rather speak to you of follows:

I always had the conviction that to write any document you want to go to a "public" you should be careful to start with a sentence of impact, therefore, I invite them to reflect on the following statement.


"Because the world can be a better place to be"
Yes, to exist, not to live.



When in January this year, I decided to do volunteer work, I tried to give myself a thought that had the strength to help cope with any difficulties that come my way on the road, and even more for help me understand why I felt this need to help others.

I never thought I could earn a place in heaven for doing what I do, and I mention it now, because apparently, that's the first thing I think people who know me and know I'm in an orphanage in Africa doing voluntary work. Neither came to believe that could change everything bad that known to be here. I know perfectly that superheroes are on the books and science fiction films, and that reality, more idealistic than I am - is another. Even tried to travel in order to transform reality in which they lived thirty-two children from the Happy Home Orphanage, as the customs and culture are so indelible heritage in humans, as land is the territory constitutes a country.

That was when I thought of the word exist.

Exist as human beings. Exist as a person. Living there. There dreaming.

But ...

What does exist? What do you need to exist? Is it possible to make the world a better place to be?

Some say that if all human beings have the devotion to provide a bit to exalt the word goodness and raise the very meaning of SER human, it could generate a very different reality from which we all know today, and I believe that. In the small changes, small results, and I think that these small variations in people's lives, is what represents the true point of impact.

So now what I mean is that, if he really has the desire to help others without expecting anything in return, you must ensure that this change does not absorb everything for you work, all what they believe, everything that you are.

Since I'm doing volunteer work at Happy Home I have seen how I've evolved to be with children, and how they have evolved to be with me, us, none, are the same.

And I am proud to write and tell you how I learned to live without the material was the most important factor in me every day. How much is little understood and little is much. As of the blue, the smile of a child fills you with joy the day of magic. As, to understand that the "impossible" has much more reality than any "possible" logical and absurd at the same time so distant and so obvious, so everything so undetected.

I learned that even without anything, you can be happy, that faith is the best shield against the evils and sorrows, and always , in adversity, there will be someone willing to help.

However, "I want to be very clear in the following thought-when you have the desire to help others, should take into account that what I have been talking about helping to improve the "existence"

me explain:

Probably many of you know that Kenya is a country located in the East Africa, where more than half the population live, survive, with less than a dollar a day, is a country that has high impact on people with HIV, and that a large number of these people are children, who probably will not-even-to adulthood, is a country with high inflation rates, is a country besieged by political conflicts in some way have supported the acts of corruption with which some politicians are enhanced "first category", is a country where people do not live in big cities are supplied with water from rain or rivers, which is not processed, and thus often cause certain diseases, is a country haunted by malaria in all categories, is a poor, needy and sometimes, arguably, abandoned.

But numbers are numbers, hunger, pain and need not be measured in figures, the problems have to feel them, you have to live them, so, they can be understood.

Some know that part of the human being in need of motivation is the spirit.

is not only material help it. That is, is not donating school supplies to a school, it's going to school and teach. It is not about giving money to those who need it, teaching is work. It is not just giving away something, care about teaching.

So, as not everyone can devote his life to this work, you read me, you who want to help, can help many people who have decided to take the space who want to help to the needy, are able to do so.

Once he heard from Nelson Mandela to "Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world", I start the same principle.

Live help is to give and forget.
exist is to help and teach you to remember.


Remember that is in your own hands to change whatever is necessary to achieve wellness.

Mi lema es enseñar, mi lema es creer que es posible.
