Chile - “Hasta luego Cono sur”: Organisers School (Santiago, 13/04/2006)

Preamble: some spanish words are left to descrive better what I ant to tell you!
It is 1 o’clock in Chile, I watch out of the window of the airplane and I see Ande and Santiago del Chile move away from me. But the memories about this country don’t move away from me. The things I want to tell are so many. I am happy to visit a country so different but so beautiful, to meet many beautiful person, to share this journey with 2 important person (Paola e Maritza).
But I want to say thanks to the confederal council, and particularly Carolina and Fiorella that had the idea to send me in this country. I didn’t travel so much, and for me , take an airplane to go in Chile is big experience, above all if I am going to a meeting with young people who wants work so much “juntos”, together! Yes, TOGETHER: because the meeting, called “Buenos Cristianos y Honestos Ciudadanos” is a school for young Líderes, managed by young people, with the support of the adults. Young SDB and FMA TOGETHER. This is remarked from somebody: from the president of the Chile federation, SdB Jaime Fuster, from the confederal President of FMA expupils SdB Francesco Muceo and from the gift that the FMA Expupils Confederation gave to the people present, a brick to build up together the future.
And so between “lessons” and meetings , 4 unforgettable days are spent. 4 days of reflection about the meaning of leader for the young people; 4 days to talk about the associations of SDB and FMA expupils. Unforgettable are also the people I met. A special thanks to. Thanks to Martha, president of Chile federation who was always near us the community of the Inspectorate of Santiago del Chile for the welcome thay gave to me. Thanks to Jaime Fuster for his care. Thanks to Sr. Gladys, for all, and don José carraio for his words. Thanks to Paola, Pamela and Tito that organized a meeting muy lindo. Thanks to Diego, Marianela and Ingrid (confederal councillors of the 2 associations) for the promotion they carry out in America.
Particularly thanks to todos los jovenes, who teach me the meaning of growing together, juntos.
Next year, I hope to meet all of us in Argentina for the 2’ school for líderes of Cono Sur. I turn back to Italy, with a big energy that I can’t descrive. Thanks to all of us! ¡Hasta luego!
