Vaseline For Dog Tic Removal

Creativos en tiempos de crisis





I have been involved in an act of those who deserve punishment. Yes, I bounce, because the person who had to go, the p. Mariano J. Sedano, CMF, was a very important meeting in Moscow, and currently can not be in two places at once. Nobody is perfect. He could not go, p. José M ª Vegas, which moves like a fish in water in these events, had much to do, and Mariano asked me to be me. That's life, the mission is what you have.

Where did it go? A café, a bar in St. Petersburg, Raion Petográdskii area. Why? To celebrate 5 years of cooperation of bar Caritas of this city. Who works? A woman and her husband. Stepanovna Slízkaia and Aleksandar Aleksandra Fiédorovich Slízkie. She is the owner of the bar, and he, her husband, homework help. What are you doing? Every day for 2 hours, closed to the public the "stall" and give food to the poor of the neighborhood. Sometimes, the Administration, local or regional, we send people. Sometimes, the center of support for mothers in distress ... Well, they are known in the world of charity peterburguesa.

This couple looked around, some time ago, and saw the growing number of people in trouble in the neighborhood. As I know, there are believers, but they have indeed true that the letter of James, Chapter 2, vv. 14 to 18 . Not every day you turn 5 years of helping others. And he acknowledged, the poor every day benefit from his generosity (two hours without entering, paying salaries, utilities and others, is a capital. Caritas helps a project, but with all that ...) and various representatives of the Administration. Varying degrees, bouquets of flowers, a couple of icons and several songs sung by one of the usual local-tasty food accompanied-with which they gave us.

There was also an Orthodox priest, that was responsible for opening the event. After I read the text of James I mentioned above, and wished them luck in the future. Because those people deserve to be lucky. When everyone is concerned about the crisis (and Russia also are noticing), and it seems that we can do nothing, this marriage has looked around, saw the needs and put to work. With what they do best. Five years is not much, but many people passing in front of coffee gratefully. And hundred or stomachs every day spend a little less necessary.

I also had occasion to share a table with a lot of people who work at Caritas St. Petersburg. For them it is not easy deal every day with all the obstacles surrounding the charity in Russia. Here, unlike in Spain, most people do not volunteer, but have a fixed salary, we, who live-without luxuries that. But despite everything, I could feel the concern for the recipients of their projects, and admiration for these people, bar owners, which gives a little of what you have to others. I spent a good while, at the end. If I'm honest, I really like these official receptions, but this time, not too experienced. I do not give a diploma, but I did not care. I met a new place in the Venice of the North, where, when guests come in the summer, we ir a comer. Espero que muchas veces. Se lo merecen Aleksándra Stepánovna y Aleksánder Fiédorovich.
