Why No Parafin With Warts

BALMASEDA







































With the excuse of following the debut of the new association of immigrants from Balmaseda, mubel ELKARTEA during the 2nd week Intercultural Balmaseda; Millantú occurred in this city with what purported to be a small sample of Chilean dances. The days passed and the trials, adding more and more dances, Angélica we added their participation as a presenter and host of the event, and Diego with his flute and the music of Violeta Parra moved north to RUN RUN largest among others.

















Interspersing information about Chile, its origins, culture huasa, nortino, Easter Island, etc.. The dances were flowing one after another, putting on a show than an hour that hit all and sundry.













Our fledgling dancers with more experience have had a great performance with our huasos. The especially with the dancing girls showed off pascuence. And most shocking was that many "hear" and "understood" for the first time the poems Neruda, so earthly and human.







At the end of the afternoon gave way to live together in a bar opposite the legendary Balmaseda medieval Church San Severino, and the obligatory walk through the narrow streets and admire the bridge.











Once again became clear that goodwill makes high the good name of our association, and of course our country.

Sports Mouthpiece For Braces

Pablo Neruda Pablo Neruda Cultural Center, the task done.


These are reflections on the partnership that we are living now, and what we are called to a meeting this Saturday 13 at 18 hrs in Ellacuria. We hope all friends to CCCPN ASeek future. Pictures are
Crossing the presentation Millantue Group.















Pablo Neruda Cultural Center, the task done.


In recent times it has become a habit, some voices rise up the tone of his opinions to express their disagreement or criticism on the Centro Pablo Neruda.

17 years ago, the handful of Chileans who founded this initiative was far from that spirit of criticism or opposition. The future horizon, was then dreams and illusions, a fascinating adventure to look forward to tomorrow and another one ...

Successive Boards gave their all to take the helm of a ship that has not always sailed on calm waters. We are a group of living people, different and we breathe every day ... this is a dynamic tensions and rivalries own group, organization-to which we must not fear, "but they prosecute properly, so that the cure is not worse than the disease and kill us all.

Where it is not possible is when the dissent comes to disqualification ... and our personal opinions rather than be constructive criticism and uplifting of all that can be improved and perfected, eventually becomes a desire to pick up shit and scattered buckets.

are wrong and are wrong those who go by the offices to see, run and tell her family's affairs Pablo Neruda Center.

Pablo Neruda topics not addressed or are arranged in the Honorary Consulate of Chile in Bilbao, or meetings of a few members or friends.

Pablo Neruda themes are family matters that should be treated as a family. Nothing justifies the treated sites and instances where it does not apply, nor is suitable for the health of our organization.

The pessimists, who say all that, those who argue legality or letters citizenship to be or not be, to lead or be in a position of policy, you forget the tiredness, exhaustion and what it means to be in an organization like Pablo Neruda.

This dangerous journey we can take on responsibility of a few, to an ending that no one wanted, but it will be inevitable, but correct and rectify our behavior and responsibilities.

We are very few. Barely fifty members who pay fees, and little more than a dozen who gathered Saturday to Saturday is at snack and Millantú test.

leaderships are not invented or improvised. In these 17 years we have seen a lot of the same and more, much water to run for God. Conducting an orchestra so different is not easy or comfortable.

is an urgent need deep reflection and careful about our destination in Pablo Neruda, and the fate of the Centre. This is a phrase that has been repeated ad nauseum, but perhaps more than ever, we reached a point of apathy, fatigue and exhaustion that puts us in a decisive hour.

If all the energy that has been used to criticize, to speak of hundreds of projects, initiatives that ultimately have gone nowhere, were used in the few tasks we do, we might be better and be happier.

With all its faults, with all its shortcomings, with all the errors of a human work like this, it's a meanness and selfishness does not admit or acknowledge all done by Pablo Neruda in these 17 years. Abolish

pessimism, pessimism runs before us. No doubt many people, partners and friends who have spent years in Bilbao, find your site and place if a day is not over Pablo Neruda. But several have found in the Cultural Center site and a place. Watch what you have and let's make it better.

In this decisive hour, we should be able to watch the horizon and the future. Or ditch the apathy and pessimism, or we stop and turn off the light.
