Banhados pela coragem

Como sonho dum menino

Tomaram essa viagem

Conheceram-se vivendo

Um trabalho incessante

Muitas coisas conhecendo

Em seus gestos elegantes

Pois passado os 36 dias

E olhando a si mesmos

Veem muita alegria

Que surgiram como os ventos

Hoje vão se preparando

Para a pouco já voarem

Mas na mente vão levando

Seus projetos para criarem.

They who won´t give up.

They who fight as a colonie, as a group

Fighting for the same goal

Fighting as one heart..

We are like them!

Day in, day out

Getting up at sunrise can be hard, real hard

Sharing till late after sunset, fighting against your sleep

Day out, day in..

We are like them!

Always together

Always fighting

Always loving

Almost always on time for dinner!!

DAY IN DAY OUT..

We are like them

All the warriors together

Sitting in the moonlight, looking at our next element while we are:

-Sharing

-Listening

-Reflecting

-Some are even sleeping!!

But still so much love and energy on one single place can be satisfying for our mind.

I’m not used to this..

So I want to thank all of you for being here together as they are here and giving so much love.

That’s why I like to say:

GRACIAS

AMOR – AMOR – AMOR !!!

The axis socioeconomic there paid off with the good. In the search for talent in the community, the Warriors find some stories of women who were beautiful craft pieces, but they do not even know. That was when she had an idea and asks: Will rolls to unite these seamstresses and create an association?

Then the team responsible for the socioeconomic axis met with this group of women and proposed a challenge: to join forces and create a brand, an association strong enough to promote income generation and transformation of village women Pantanal. And so was born the brand Dona Pantanal. Easy, right? No.

During the five days of Hands On they met with the help of the warriors, who thought together on everything from the logo to choose until which products could be marketed. And on the last day of collective effort could literally watch the result. To celebrate all the changes, the Pantanetes – as they are affectionately called by warriors – prepared with a parade that was produced in the workshops and filled with pride to the community and particularly the warriors.

We prepared a video of the parade. Check out:

Jan. 31. Night. Three communities connected not only by transformation. Tonight they are all looking at the same place: for the future. Together. At the same time. Each with their dreams. Telling stories, sharing ideas and above all, think of “Once. ” After all, the Warriors only sparked a flame, and it is up to each of the residents to keep it lit. And inspiring the neighbors on the right, left, from the top … And so the plans were being drawn. Warriors, residents, children all together thinking about what can be done from now to continue the process of improving the community and the lives of these people.

And how? Various techniques are very interesting. Two of them were used by the Warriors during the Meeting of the Future. Beginning with the World Café, residents answered two important questions to find out where we left and where we want to walk. The World Café is legal because it is fast and gives everyone the opportunity to speak. And you know another cool thing? You know when the first round and you said something at harvest time you can not remember more? World Café with his troubles are over, why all the people of mini-groups will be saying will be noted on the card stock and then presented to all participants.

In the next step, the residents made an Open Space to discuss the next dream that they want to see carried out within their communities. And not just talk. It was necessary to establish strategies, dates, key people to think about these things.. This important moment. Hugs, kisses and vows to visit. And the bus departed back to CEFAS. In this last contact during the Warriors Without Weapons, with communities, not lack love. How not missed during the entire time that these boys and girls were there.

Gathered in front of “Casa da Frontaria Azulejada”, space that is well worth knowing when it comes to Santos, warriors and residents of three communities – Tiro Naval Mangue Seco/Vila Butantan and Pantanal had a unique time of fellowship and celebration. Here, we do not admit a conquest without vibrate much for her. And therefore, there could be different after we had these moments of transform alongside these men, women and children. It was not.

Besides pictures of the Oasis in the communities, also rolled a film produced by Danilo and Victor, who are recording the whole process of #GSA2011.

And then, of course, could not miss. Where has the “Mestre Bahia”, have Capoeira. He, Walter, and all the boys and girls of the Association of Capoeira Mont Serrat. Lots of music and Brazilian popular culture. The warriors foreign worshiped. Many, indeed, even risked a swing with a diferent tone. Quickly recognized from afar, of the entrance.

And if all this were not enough, here comes the moment when everyone else had fun: a ballad. Yes, they made a ballad, folks. Lots of music and no language barrier to disrupt communication between all those present: warriors and community in a single language: dance.
