FORCES THAT CHANGE THE STORY IS THE SAME
CHANGE THE HEART OF MAN
And so, as every year, We are working on the curtains. He writes in his editorial Roberto Fontolan, journalist and director of Good News, the newspaper of AVSI - Italian non-governmental organization has committed more than 100 cooperation projects for development, especially in education and the promotion of human dignity, in 38 countries World Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, Eastern Europe, Middle East, Asia. In tens of thousands - more - give rise to meetings, exhibitions, dinners, football games, concerts and all that emanates from the imagination of those who wish to commit an act of usefulness.
A huge spectacle that crosses the whole of Italy, an epidemic that spreads an incurable new facts coming Latin America, Africa, Lebanon. Spare a world where change happens, where the development "has a face" because there "the person makes a difference" (according to the themes of previous editions). And then the curtains, even before a movement of our generosity and solidarity towards those in need (...) is an extraordinary opportunity to understanding and acceptance. We first of all we receive the signal that comes from the real world. And so, as every year, We are working on the curtains. He writes in his editorial Roberto Fontolan, journalist and director of Good News, the newspaper of AVSI - Italian non-governmental organization has committed more than 100 cooperation projects for development, especially in education and the promotion of human dignity, in 38 countries World Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, Eastern Europe, Middle East, Asia.

Hey, we're here, we are a fact in your life, tell us our friends, our brothers in Haiti and Kenya (and all other places that stand out on the tent this year, as you can see in the pages of Good News). We are those who wish to change the heart - to change history, the situation of need in which we pay, (...) we can not heal all the wounds caused by an earthquake in Chile or make peace between Christians, Druze and Shiites in the south of Lebanon: for this work, the dream too, but the certainty that guides us is of another nature. It concerns the "what" we are, not many do. The thing that is the heart, which is in the heart and we want to cultivate, grow, communicate: the only force that is strong and that really makes us strong in all the circumstances, sometimes so difficult. And so, as every year in making the tents, we learn from all these our friends around the world who we really are the recipients, or better: to be senders must have a heart to the recipient.
"The Country of Blinds AVSI comes at a difficult year - says Alberto Piatti, Secretary General AVSI - marked by the global crisis and the earthquake that has shaken the already fragile Haiti. But it is precisely in such difficult times that is tempered man, stirring the desire for the infinite. Thousands of people, moved by the stories of Fiammetta Cappellini from Port-au-Prince have taken a myriad of personal initiatives in recent months to provide practical support for the ongoing work in Haiti. Gratitude to the people who support us - concluded dishes - which, with simple gestures, really helps to change the world. "
