A message of Hope 2025

 Cuanto más aprendas, más poder tendrás para defender lo que es correcto. Concéntrate en la escuela y piensa en formas en las que puedes marcar una diferencia a medida que creces.


4. Alza la voz


Incluso los niños pueden hacer oír su voz. Puedes:


Escribir cartas a los líderes locales sobre cómo la separación familiar afecta a los niños.


Crear arte o videos para compartir tu historia e inspirar a otros a ayudar.


Únete a marchas o eventos con tu familia para abogar por un cambio.


5. Ayuda a crear soluciones


Trabaja con otros para pensar en ideas para apoyar a las familias. Por ejemplo:


Recauda dinero para boletos de avión para que los niños puedan visitar a sus seres queridos en México.


Inicia un grupo de apoyo para niños que estén pasando por lo mismo.


6. Mantente fuerte juntos


Las familias pueden ser poderosas incluso cuando están separadas. Apóyense mutuamente, recuerden que no están solos y manténganse enfocados en el amor que los conecta.


Un mensaje de esperanza


Aunque pueda parecer lo más difícil en este momento, recuerda que no eres impotente. Al mantenerte conectado, aprender y encontrar formas de ayudar a los demás, estás demostrando una fortaleza increíble. Las familias pueden sobrevivir a tiempos difíciles y el amor puede crecer aún más fuerte a través de la distancia. Lo que más importa es no rendirse.



The more you learn, the more power you have to stand up for what's right. Focus on school and think of ways you can make a difference as you grow up.


4. Speak up


Even children can make their voices heard. You can:


Write letters to local leaders about how family separation affects children.


Create art or videos to share your story and inspire others to help.


Join marches or events with your family to advocate for change.


5. Help create solutions


Work with others to come up with ideas to support families. For example:


Raise money for plane tickets so children can visit loved ones in Mexico.


Start a support group for children going through the same thing.


6. Stay strong together


Families can be powerful even when they're apart. Support each other, remember you're not alone, and stay focused on the love that connects you.


A message of hope


Even though it may feel like the hardest thing right now, remember that you are not powerless. By staying connected, learning, and finding ways to help others, you are showing incredible strength. Families can survive difficult times, and love can grow even stronger through distance. What matters most is not giving up.


Plus vous en apprenez, plus vous avez le pouvoir de défendre ce qui est juste. Concentrez-vous sur l'école et réfléchissez aux façons dont vous pouvez faire une différence en grandissant.


4. Parlez


Même les enfants peuvent faire entendre leur voix. Tu peux:


Rédigez des lettres aux dirigeants locaux sur la façon dont la séparation familiale affecte les enfants.


Créez des œuvres d'art ou des vidéos pour partager votre histoire et inciter les autres à vous aider.


Joignez-vous à des marches ou à des événements avec votre famille pour plaider en faveur du changement.


5. Aidez à créer des solutions


Travaillez avec d'autres pour trouver des idées pour soutenir les familles. Par exemple:


Collectez des fonds pour acheter des billets d'avion afin que les enfants puissent rendre visite à leurs proches au Mexique.


Créez un groupe de soutien pour les enfants qui vivent la même chose.


6. Restez forts ensemble


Les familles peuvent être puissantes même lorsqu'elles sont séparées. Soutenez-vous les uns les autres, rappelez-vous que vous n'êtes pas seul et restez concentré sur l'amour qui vous relie.


Un message d'espoir


Même si ça peut sembler la chose la plus difficile en ce moment, n'oubliez pas que vous n'êtes pas impuissant. En restant connecté, en apprenant et en trouvant des façons d'aider les autres, vous faites preuve d'une force incroyable. Les familles peuvent survivre à des moments difficiles et l'amour peut devenir encore plus fort grâce à la distance. Ce qui compte le plus, c'est de pas abandonner.

Heart Storming- Come! Watch, Help Share Mother Earth's Message


Blog post by Tina Winterlik © 2011

Happy Friday Everyone, Have a Great Weekend, here's a Beautiful Message From Pacha Mama to Share with All Your Friends and start things off right!

http://www.facebook.com/PachamamaAlliance


Heart Storming- Come! Watch, Help Share Mother Earth's Message


Our Mission

Our mission is to empower indigenous people of the Amazon rainforest to preserve their lands and culture and, using insights gained from that work, To educate and inspire individuals everywhere to bring forth a thriving, just and sustainable world.


Our Story

The Pachamama Alliance was born in response to a request from the Achuar, an indigenous people deep in the Amazon region of Ecuador. The Achuar made the courageous decision to seek a partnership with people from the industrialized world who would work with them in protecting their rainforest home and their traditional way of life. Out of this unique partnership, it has become evident that indigenous wisdom and insight offer enormous value in addressing the complex issues that we face in our modern world.

Awakening The Dreamer

Mexico and Korea: 

Awakening the Dreamer Set for Further Expansion

Posted on March 4th, 2011

ATD Community in Korea


The Awakening the Dreamer communities in Mexico and Korea recently learned just how powerful each individual can be when they synergize their efforts and act in concert with others with common interests and aspirations

In each country, the Symposium message is gaining momentum, and about to grow even more powerfully.

A vibrant group of Mexican Facilitators came together for two days in a very powerful and energizing planning session to determine their vision, mission, leadership, and strategic partners. 

Mexican Facilitators left their planning session with a Mexican council in place, and concrete actions to coordinate and support their fast growing Facilitator body.


In Korea, Dr. Ken Gimm, with his very active fellow Facilitators, started to organize their actions and inspired more than 100 trained Facilitators in just over one year

In 2011 Korea has set the bar with a goal of presenting the Symposium to 10,000 individuals and training 200 Facilitators.  

Both communities in Korea and Mexico serve as inspiring examples of what can happen when groups of like-minded people come together to create a vision with a plan for action.

Mexican Culture

Mexican Culture is a huge and vast subject. I have done a little research and posted some interesting links below. The internet is so wonderful in that it is a huge library and that when I first started studying about the architecture in Mexico in the 1990's, I had to read books that were already quite old as the info took 10 years to just be made into a book. Anyways, my point is there is a ton of info out there, not all correct and perfect, but keep an open mind and research and learn about the world around us. Mexico has a rich and wonderous history, learn and share this with your children, it will be invaluable.

Culture is consists of these Basic Categories:
Language, Religion, Art, Architecture, Literature, Holidays, Cuisine, Music, Cinema, Sport

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Mexico

As stated on Wikipedia in the above link:

Spanish is the de facto language spoken by the vast majority of Mexicans, though the Mexican government does not legislate it as an official language.

Nonetheless, the second article of the 1917 Constitution defines the country as multicultural, recognizes the right of the indigenous peoples to "preserve and enrich their languages" and promotes "bilingual and intercultural education".

While many people believe Spanish to be the language of Mexico it actually has many different indigenous languages, approx 6 million speak indigenous languages.

Some of these are Nahuatl, Yucatec, Mixtex, Zapotec, Tzeltal Maya, Tzotzil Maya, Huichol and many others. Please check out the Wikipedia link above to see the many different diverse languages that actually exist in Mexico.
