hey guyz!

Frohes, neues Jahr, feliz año nuevo, happy New Year!

i hope you are all doing great and all the best wishes for 2008, that you are allways in good company, have a lots of good luck and mucho buena onda!

i finally started travelling now!

after a hard but good end of 2007 with nice grades at school, interesting work and contact to great people that do great work around buenos aires to make it a better place.

First, there is my profesora Estela Camarota, de la UBA/FCE who theached me Dirrecion General ( something like General Management, but in the broadest sence possible...more like lessons for real live, then neoliberal Duennschiss).

If you ever plan on an exchange in Buenos Aires, do this course, even if you are not studiing bussines or economics, give it a try, its worth it!!

Its not only that she was well able to make a german with poor spanish able to unterstand the different ideas of concepcion del mundo y paradigmas (wish was acutally reason why i named the page the way it is named!)

but also that she is a great person per se.

as most students here are doing dirrecion general as their last course she gave them all something that we like to call den letzen schliff...well something like an ultimate finnish so people are made able to use all there economical knowledge in an responsilbe way.

the best was actually the last lesson, something that i did know and everybody somehow might now.. but you cannot repeat it often enough: there is allways something you have to give ,and even if its just a free hug or a bit time to listen to someone who needs some attetion: it makes the world a better place

she also introduced us to margarita, a lovely woman who cares for the cartoneros ,the people ,moslty kids who are collecting the paper and boxes from the rubbish of the buenos aires people to sell it for a few cents..
if you wanna read abit about here project>

actually there where many social proekts with good ideas going on, and if you realize how many there are in total, ytou kinf of realize to, that the suffering and malpractice must be so enourmous cause besides all these good peoel working their ass off, there is still little to se on improvment... to bad...

but i do not wanna be pesimistic and therefore link you to a few more or the promising stuff going on around the billas and sourroundings of buenos aires<

so during the next weeks i will add a few more inspiring projects
