Mis experiencias personales en el CICD

Mis experiencias personales en el CICD
Por Akos Koncs, Hungría / Equipo de activistas contra la pobreza- Febrero 2024 De niño era un entusiasta de África. Leí muchos cuentos de cazadores-escritores del siglo XIX, me parecieron muy románticos. Más tarde mi interés pasó de la belleza natural africana a la sociedad africana y esto fue lo que me empujó a estudiar antropología cultural en la universidad. Pero al tener mi diploma en mis manos experimenté una decepción porque en mi país no hay programas para África. Hungría nunca tuvo colonias en ninguna parte, tal vez por eso no teníamos muchos programas de ayuda a este continente....

¿Cómo protegemos a los más pobres del cambio climático?

¿Cómo protegemos a los más pobres del cambio climático?
Por Kelvin Rodrigues, Equipo de Voluntarios de Desarrollo Octubre 2023 ¿CÓMO PROTEGEMOS A LOS MÁS POBRES DEL CAMBIO CLIMÁTICO? Mis consideraciones mientras trabajaba con el proyecto Juventud en Acción en Zambia y estudiaba el Informe del PNUD 2021 sobre la situación mundial de la pobreza. El Cambio Climático es inevitable, pues el clima en la tierra ya no es el mismo y ha ido dando indicios de que es solo el principio y que el futuro será extremo en cuanto a la variación de temperaturas, lluvias y sequías extremas. La tierra está enferma, los síntomas están por todas partes. Los...

Como proteger os mais pobres das mudanças climáticas?

Minhas considerações ao trabalhar com o projeto Juventude em Ação na Zâmbia e estudar o Relatório do PNUD 2021 sobre a situação global da pobreza.

Learning from reality - investigation about poverty in England

Diana and some of the team together with Claire, volunteer at Foster's Pub - one of the hubs for food distribution in Hull
By Diana Heinfarth, Hungary, Poverty Activist team February 2024 My team and I were given the task of conducting research on real problems in our society. We chose to investigate poverty in England. In the UK, more than 22 % of the population were living in poverty in 2022/23 – that’s 13.4 million people. This included: - 8.1 million (or around 2 in 10) working-age adults - 4.2 million (or nearly 3 in 10) children - 2.1 million (or around 1 in 6) pensioners. During our investigation, we delved into the following topics: - What is the extent of immigration...

Living in community - part of our training

Andrea with 2 team mates in the Building Weekend
By Andrea Barreto, Brazil - Development Volunteer team April 2024 At another time in my life, before CICD, I had other experiences living in a community, in Buddhist centers. Especially at the beginning here, I felt a similar sensation, a certain similarity in the routine and the energy. From my point of view, everything starts with the motivation of the community's members. In the Buddhist center, the motivation was to study, practice, and pray for the well-being of all beings. At CICD, I believe it is the preparation for volunteer work in the African continent and, in a way, to...

My responsibility area: Grass & Wood

Driving Fred and measuring the path to cut
By Sebastián Rey, Development Volunteer team, April 2024 My responsibility area is "Grass and wood". It's an experience to value the work in the countryside. Every Wednesday, I step out of the desk, put on my boots, and dress in warm clothing. The meeting to receive instructions is at 9:00, and we are five minutes late. After listening carefully and asking a few questions, I'm ready to start my first day driving Fred, a 1973 Massey Ferguson tractor. It is the biggest machine at the school. Though it has lost the streetlights, mirrors, and some glass panels, and its doors...

My personal experiences at CICD

Akos in action in our organic garden farm
By Akos Koncs, Hungary / Poverty Activist team February 2024 As a child I was an enthusiast for Africa. I read lots of stories by hunter-writers from the XIX century, I found it very romantic. Later my interest turned from the African natural beauty to the African society, and this was what pushed me to study cultural anthropology in the university. But getting my diploma in my hands I experienced disappointment, because in my country there are no programmes for Africa. Hungary never had any colonies anywhere, maybe this is why we had not much aid programmes to this continent....

Our programme is a bird - it needs both wings to fly

Edson at the edge of CICD-s big park
By Edson Eduardo, Brazil, Development Volunteer team April 2024 Going to Africa, making a difference, helping people, communities and schools, volunteering, learning new cultures and sharing knowledge is undoubtedly the desire of many students who arrive at CICD for the 10 and 12 month programmes. Sometimes the fear of the new is mixed with the desire to go to the African continent straight away and embark on this adventure, a real mix of emotions and feelings. But you have to remember that it takes one step at a time, everything has its own time. Studies and learning is needed as...

My first 45 days at CICD!

Jose enjoying time with his team at CICD!
By José Becerra, Gaia Team I arrived to CICD one month and a half ago. Has this period been long? Has it been short? Why or how? Forty five days sounds like the first half of a long football match; each day a minute. It is a perfect moment to look back and enjoy. As an old vinyl record, this article will have an A-side and B-side. The A-side Occasionally I would like to pause my life, so time won’t continue absorbing me towards the road of death. Perhaps it is a very tricky formulation, but I suppose many people feel...

The new me: Carla as a teacher!

Carla with students preparing live event on Facebook
By Carla Barrado, Team Teacher I knew that I did not want to continue being part of this capitalist and consumerist society in which what you do has no value and in which you normally work for someone making that company or that someone grow economically. Therefore I thought that taking this adventure of working as a teacher at 'Another Kind of School' would give me the opportunity to work with others and with myself, not for others and draining myselft to get the profit for others. And every day the phrase 'work with what you like and you will...

How do we protect the poorest from Climate Change?

Youth in Action group learning about waste management
By Kelvin Rodrigues, Development Volunteer team October 2023 HOW DO WE PROTECT THE POOREST FROM CLIMATE CHANGE? My considerations while working with Youth in Action project in Zambia, and studying the UNDP Report 2021 on the global situation of poverty. Climate Change is inevitable, as the climate on earth is no longer the same and it has been giving indications that it is only the beginning and that the future will be extreme with regard to the variation of temperatures, rains and extreme droughts. The land is sick, the symptoms are everywhere. Those responsible for incisive measures to reduce the...

My journey from Hungary to Zambia

By Jeanette Fall, Poverty Activist team February 2023 My name is Jeanette. I'm 45 years old economist. I have worked in the finance department all in my life, in various positions during the last 20 years...so I could try to do almost everything possible there. I am also the proud mother of two grown boys whom I raised alone. In August 2022, I made a big decision – that is after the fact I can say it was a very good one - and joined the CICD 6+12-month program. What did this mean in my case? 6 months Gaia period,...
