A few days after the delivery of the help needed by our fellow human beings in Volos, Volos Mutual Aid Group, another mind blowing (as we also say in our village) experience came for us – in Italy – this time and specifically in Reggio Emilia!

The people in this city transformed an area of weapons factories and abandoned homeless buildings into a beacon of culture, education and exemplary leadership, simply because they wanted to... They wanted to go further, higher, to be part of the solution and not the whining, to experience firsthand what it means to act through unity, mutual aid, continuous development and respect for oneself and one's fellow human beings. They went themselves, all together and made the wrong things right.

So, we came to attend a Social Economy conference, which the SEGE in our country, it offered us the opportunity to receive and share ideas, with the aim of joint ventures and therefore the improvement of all institutions and by extension of social reality.

Words are poor in the face of what we saw... this result Parko Innovation, in this vision Tecnopolo (personally it was like living in my dream) which took shape within a few years, by various bodies such as the E35 Foundation and the Cloisters of St. Peter

Organizations, Municipalities, people and ideas, therefore, have shown us once again that when you focus on evolution, it is inevitable. Through all these bodies, all sensitive social groups find work, psychological support and social integration: Current and former inmates of correctional institutions, abused women, disabled people, cancer patients, the elderly, children, everyone. In short, the entire city works for social contribution and the social economy. So where do we end up? When you treat yourself with love and care, that is what you will enjoy. And the basis of it all? an educational organization, an educational approach light years ahead, since education has always been, is and will be the root for beauty to happen… first individually and then collectively. 

The partial end of the mission came in November, with the reception of the Italian and Spanish teams in our country, at the women's entrepreneurship conference organized by SEGE. Especially for you, thank you is little... and our congratulations for your work seem poor. Without you and your support for so many women-people - I would not have been able to see, but also contribute to this wonderful project... But the most important thing of all is that my dream, somewhere, someone has done it, already exists and is growing wonderfully... I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the opportunity for knowledge and development..

.

My beloved Oh Gaia and specifically Liana Kantza, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the occasion, the cause and the result, not only now in the good times and on the trips, but mainly for the difficult times, in Volos... you know... I thank you for your example and all this sharing... One soul at a time, little by little, day by day, hour by hour, we change for the better inside, our outside changes in that direction.

Next up is Murcia in Spain, for the end of the mission in January, so we can enjoy all the beautiful things that our Spanish friends are doing there. 

So, until we meet again, we always wish the same to all of us! Let's go to ours, to our country! 

Well done to you and well done again!
