Soup Kitchens

I have experienced this reality very closely during this time, in the neighborhood where I live there are approximately 3 soup kitchens, which help 200 people each. My neighbors are often embarrassed to go, however they do it because the situation is so bad, many are unemployed and have children and older adults. This situation is currently experienced by many people in the metropolitan region, and is one of the worst social consequences of the pandemic.

Soup kitchens have appear during the 20th century. In Chile Soup kitchens are part of the organization of the people who lived in shanty town to feed mainly the children. Today the country and the world are going through an economic and social crisis caused by the covid-19, and the soup kitchens have appeared again.

 With my family sometimes we help part of the neighbors who participate in the dining rooms, it is necessary to help in these times, escape from our comfort zone, forget about individual life and learn that together we can be more, sometimes are things that are discussed little, but this I wanted to share.

Colo-Colo my favorite team

Personally, when I hear about sports, one thing comes to my mind and that's football. When I hear talk about football teams in my head there is also only one that is Colo Colo. I was about 4 years old when I started watching the games on TV, and when I was 5 years old I went to the stadium for the first time, I remember that moment as if it was yesterday, I think I felt in love at that very moment. As I grow also my fanaticism began to grow, the stadium became a second home. I began to follow the team more and more, traveling to different places, getting to know other stadiums in Chile and Latin America.  Being a fan of Colo Colo also helped me to learn about the discrimination that exists in soccer, firstly by the police, who repress the fans in the stadiums. That's the bad side, the good side are all the joys, the people you meet and the experience of following the team you love. Today at the age of 20 I enjoy my favorite team very much, however I m...

let's take care of the planet

Hey, friends!. Today I'd like to talk about a topic a little bit different from the other blogs I've done. It's about the importance of caring for the environment mainly by caring for the nature around us. I often think that we, the inhabitants of this earth, are not sufficiently aware of what it means to take care of our planet. To help with this task it is important to have some basic care, like voting the garbage in bins, recycling, avoiding plastic waste.  I think it is important to take care of some places that always suffer more with the damage to the ecosystem, such as beaches, rivers, lakes, where more animals live to places more populated by humans. Also avoid making fires in areas where a forest fire may occur, or avoid lighting cigarettes in those areas. Personally I think that each of these measures can help a little to be more empathic with nature, but we must not forget that the big responsible for this situation are the big companies, who pollute and kill the...

The best holidays I have had.

Last year travel to Brazil with my family. They never had left the country, for different reasons, but principally for money. When we arrive in the airport "rio galeao international” my mom got really excited, it was a unique moment. In this vacations my family met different tourist places. When children i liked go to the vacations in the summer, until Approximately 17 years old. However now I prefer go to the vacations in the spring or winter. First we went to "arcos da lapa" located in the central area of Rio de Janeiro, which is also known as the historic center. Then we visited the main beaches of the city, where we find a tour to know the mains attractions of Rio de Janeiro. on the tour I met places such as "ladder selaron", "corcovado", museums, churches and areas near the favelas. I think that they are very touristy countries but they have this very current problem. finally it was a very nice experience , nevertheless it left ...
