I hadn’t written about the Portiño since Summer, I think. I waited to know how was the evolution this year. I can write now it’s good and improving: the rookies of last year aren’t now rookies and they got the respect and love of the children. We have new volunteers that are doing a wonderful work with them. Lots of fresh ideas come from everybody and we try to run them. I have a personal target too: I want they learn to express themselves better on the paper.
The traditional Solidarity Party in the final November to get funds to projects with children of the OCV was a total success again. Adolfo, the veteran co-ordinator of the Bañobre project, is the main responsible of this success.
In December we took part with the people of the Portiño in a protest against racism against our loved town. The motto was “Portiño: 47 años de convivencia de payos y gitanos” (Portiño: 47 years of white and gipsy people living together).
And near to Christmas we celebrate a party with the children. Everybody, children, parents and volunteers got a fun time
Now we’ll try to finish these months with one activity outside the town…
I really love this game
