Eduard0 Galean0!.*

Hi Everybody

In this publication I have to speak about one of the persons that I admire, this person is Eduardo Germán Hughes Galeano but all the people know him just like Eduardo Galeano because the pronunciation of their second name is very difficult. He was born in Montevideo, Uruguay in the year 1940 and he still lives.
He is a recognized journalist that start to drawing in a magazine just when he had fourteen years old. In the beginning he was redactor of the magazine "Marcha" 1960-1964 where recognized Uruguayan writers publicated they works but this magazine was closed for the dictatorship that lived Uruguay and also for the same reason he was exiled to Argentina in the year 1973.
In Argentina found one literary magazine called "Crisis".
In the year 1975 he goes to lived to Spain and continued their publications in magazines.
The first time that I read to Galeano was in the school in a class called "Latinoamerican identity" and of that moment I adore Galeano.
In my opinion he wrote one of the most important books called "The open veins of Latin american" where he relates all the injustices, violations and the inequality that lived the latinoamerican natives and the people of this continent in general since the Spanish conquest.
He has a critical and political way to see the moral and material misery that our world lives where every day increases the difference between rich and poor people.
I think that Galeano is one of the most clever writers of latin america and I feel proud on being latinoamerican too.
Finaly i would like end with a phrase of him:
“The utopy was in the horizon, I walk two steps, she moves two steps and the horizon runs ten steps further, so for what serves the utopy?, for that, serves for walk”

My Favorite Vacation Place!.

My favorite vacation place is Isla Negra because is a quiet place to rest and relax the mind.
There is a big forest with many trees of different species and also there are many birds of different colours, types and sizes.
Besides there is a little comunity that works to transform the "Quebrada de Córdova" in a nature santuary.
In this place there are many ponds where the people can swim in the summer.
on the other hand there is a beach where the people can see the sunset and it's really gorgeus.
Near of my house there is the Pablo Neruda house and i think that it's great place with a beatifull decoration.
Another place that I love of the Isla Negra is their bakery because they sell a delicious lemon pie.
Finally when I feel bored I walk on the beach or I see the sea sit in a rock.
I think that the best of this place is the landscape, and their history.

PD: the pictures are all from my personal collection (:

The Big Earthquake!.

My experience with the earthquake was more or less quiet because my house didn't have many problems just broken glasses, vessels and decoration things.
Really I thought that an earthquake would be worst, I couldn't watch the tv or something that could inform me about the earthquake for two days, but later i felt so bad for all the damage the earthquake caused. I was so worried of my friends but the best is that all of them were very well and healthy.
To Help I went with my scout group to build emergency houses, the experience was very exhausting but comfortable. Also we collected clothes and food for the people of the south and finally we worked with all the scouts groups of the district Quilamapu in a big show for the people who live in Lo Prado and Pudahuel.
I think that our country needs to give to the people real solutions and not just emergency houses or baskets of food, the real solutions are decent houses, free education and the most important a decent life. I just can say no more bureaucracy and pretty or rich faces in our parliament.

Little Ró!.

Hi
My name is Romina Reinal Riquelme but all my friends call me Ró.
I’m 20 years old
Currently I’m studying Public Administration at the University of Chile.
I´m a scout girl and I work with boys between 7 and 11 years old. We are what it’s called a “Manada” and there they call me Raksha. The kids make me feel so happy every Saturday, Sometimes I think that we often forget about the little good things of life, lucky for me, the kids remember me the good things, even in the bad times.
My favorite word is “loyalty” and between the scouts it’s something really important.
Also I work for the “colectivo la Revoltosa”, we are a politic group of the university. Politics are very important to me, I think that our country needs so much changes, I hate the injustice and the inequality too.
In my level we play soccer, and the team is called PROLELAIS, I love to play with the girls, because when we are on the field giving our best to score a goal and win the match, we forget about the problems and the stress that the university brings us.
One of the persons more important in my life is my boyfriend Cristóbal. We are so different but we love each other.
I’m a very busy person and sometimes I think that I need an extra day for my week, but I’m happy with all things that I do. And just like Galeano says: “In the end we are what we do to change what we are”.
