transcendentalismos cotidianosen Costa Rica July 13 Panama 3 meses despues Ya se que ha pasado demasiado tiempo... pero no quita que aun pueda compartir fotos... como dice Tina, es mas bonito verlas despues de que haya pasado un tiempo, por que? no se, asi nos entra mas melancolia, o nos recuerdan el viaje despues de quiza ya haber olvidado algunas cosas. Fue un lindo viaje, Panama es lindo... ya fueron 3 meses, wow! March 24 Details Hace ya mucho tiempo que vengo pensando en subir fotos de detalles en mi casa... todo nacio de la idea de que no se sabe por cuanto tiempo mas esta seguira siendo mi casa. La verdad es que he tenido suerte, la hemos convertido en un verdadero "hogar" y el pensar en tener que dejarla por quien sabe que otra opcion no me emociona mucho... le dedico tanto tiempo a ambientar los espacios interiores, a decorar y crear un lugar en el que realmente se sienta uno como en casa, en el que se respire y sienta la buena vibra, que ultimamente me da tristeza pensar en que es solo temporal. Pero bueno, todo es temporal en esta vida reamente, y lo bueno es que no he gastado mucho dinero en todo esto... y aun asi es uno de mis lugares favoritos en los que he vivido.... no creen que es lindo?

Environmental education and capacity-building projects for poverty alleviation in landfill communities
Executive Summary:
As the world continues to struggle with inadequate waste management and the negligent consumption of its inhabitants our living space corrodes and gets closer to an already felt climate change. This imminent change calls for new creative and entrepreneurial ideas concerning social and environmental issues to be put into practice all over the world, and more specifically into poverty stricken areas.
ECOllective puts forward a plan for such approaches through a cohesive triangular approach. First, the innovative ecological reuse of trash for artistic design, second, the facilitation of the recycling of raw materials for income generating and third the capacity building education programs for community members that are prone to drop out of school or fall into the trap of the poverty cycle. The aim of this approach is to actively involve and empower the community around the landfill of Cagayan de Oro, Philippines, and through this lift them out of poverty.
This exerpt is from a social enterpreneurship business plan created with two other students for our Social Enterpreneurship in the Social Sector class, I took this course during the Upeace Institute last month. Honestly I can call it one of the best classes I have ever taken! if you want to hear more about the plan contact me, it is a 23 pg document. February 04 Una afirmacion que me llego por ahi..Soy digno y merecedor de todo lo bueno.No solo de algo, De un poquito, sino de todo lo bueno. Ahora estoy Superando todos los pensamientos negativos que me Limitan. Me libero de las limitaciones impuestas por mis Padres. Los amo y puedo ir más allá de ellos. No respondo a sus creencias negativas ni a sus opiniones restrictivas. No estoy atado por ninguno de los miedos ni de los Prejuicios de la sociedad en que vivo. Ya no me identifico Con ningún tipo de limitación. En mi mente gozo de una libertad total. Entro ahora en un Nuevo espacio de conciencia donde estoy dispuesto a Verme a mi mismo de una manera diferente. Estoy Dispuesto a crear ideas nuevas respecto de mi mismo y de Mi vida. Mi nueva manera de pensar se expresa en Experiencias nuevas. Ahora se y afirmo que soy una y la misma cosa con el Prospero Poder del Universo. Por eso ahora prospero de Múltiples maneras. La totalidad de las posibilidades se Abre ante mí. Me merezco la vida, una vida buena. Me Merezco el amor: abundancia de amor. Me merezco tener Buena salud. Me merezco vivir cómodamente y prosperar. Me merezco la libertad de ser todo aquello que soy capaz De ser. Me merezco mas que eso: me merezco todo lo bueno. El universo esta mas que dispuesto a manifestar mis Nuevas creencias, y yo acepto esta abundancia de vida con Júbilo, placer y gratitud. November 24 INCAE & Nicaragua Today I started my last week of work at INCAE, and as I procrastinate on all the things I should leave done... I´ll share a couple good things that came out of these last 3 months.
* First and foremost I should admit that my previously held stereotypes about business schools and their students have been shaken a bit, they are not ruthless capitalmongers with no social consciousness as I imagined them to be.
* It is true, big corporations are out there to conquer the world, and most of thier CEOs, especially in Central America have probably attended at least a semminar at INCAE, if not proudly graudated from the now #2 Business School in the Region (just pushed down from #1 by Mexico´s Tec de Monterrey, hehe). They, of course are moslty old men who did not attend any of the sustainable development or corpporate social responsability courses INCAE now offers.
* Being a Development coordinator is a difficult job, but it can definitely be made much easier and pleasant if the cause one is fundraising for is close to one´s heart. Deep down, getting some of these corporations to donate money for the future education of business students in need of financial help, makes sense. especially because I have the hope that students who come from lower classes might have a more humane outlook on how to do business.
* It is no good to take polarized stances; left and right, capitalist and socialist, poor and rich, we all have things in common, and the more we push ourselves from one another, the harder it will be to ever come to terms with the fact that we are in it together, so we might as well unite for that common cause, which in the end is none the less than to save the world, for our children´s sake.
* On a lighter note, excercise does make one a happier, better, not to mention healthier person... none that sits infront of a computer for 8 hours every day should be denied access to excercise... INCAE has a gym... it made it all better.
* And I got to travel to El Salvador, stay in a 5 star hotel for a congress and pretend to be a business woman for 2 days... it was fun.
From there I took advantage of my flight and stayed a few days in Nicaragua, met Tina and saw Granada. It was hot and humid, but being able to ride a bike around its cobbled streets and colonial feel really made up for it. We also went to Ometepe, and island formed from two volcanos, one of them active in the middle of the biggest lake I have ever seen, the Lago Nicaragua. The island was magical... and you only need to see the pictures to understand why...
It was a nice little vacation, it was a nice little "internship" with INCAE.
October 17 Yeah for Peace Studies!!!Peace studies takes off! Read more about this wonderful field I have gone into and why the world is starting to take it seriously...
September 29 day to day... You figure there must be something wrong when you´re only home when its dark, and usually it means a moody exhaustion.
You figure there must be something wrong when the only way you can handle a day is by going "spinning" at lunchtime and waiting impatiently for the almost 3 hours spent on a bus to and from the office, because you can read your book.
You figure there must be something wrong, but you keep at it because somedays, being able to do a mail merge correctly is enough to give you a sense of belonging in the link of productive working people that make the world go round... and becuase deep down, even though there are a hundred other things you´d rather be doing, this is the only one at the moment, that is willing to pay you for it.
So you stay... even though you figure there must be something wrong...
