AWAY FOR A WHILE

mahabalipuram

As everybody knows, on december 26, 2004, an earthquake of magnitude 8,9 was set off by a fault line just outside the Aceh coast and created a powerful tsunami in the lower Andaman Sea, South East Asia and coastal India.
In India the tsunami caused extensive damage in Andaman and Nicobar islands, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala and Tamil Nadu, being the most severally hit on the mainland.
Do to or, better, thanks to my actual free time from work, I decided after months of researches, to partecipate in a work-camp in the South India.
I contacted Oikos, an italian Ngo: with its partners in India, such as FSL and Tamil Nadu Red Cross, it has set up three bases in Karaikal, Nagapattanam and Vailankanni, the worst affected areas. Two reliefs teams and about 30 volunteers are constantly involved in building temporary shelters, providing food, medicine and counseling, entartaining the children, helping in clean ups and taking out in re-construction projects.

Now I'm ready to go: I'll leave for India before the end of April, for a while I’ll be off-line.

Special Thanks to:

MY FAVOURITE SONG

John Lennon

IMAGINE
by John Lennon
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

L'ISOLA CHE NON C'E'
by Edoardo Bennato
Seconda stella a destra
Questo è il cammino
E poi dritto fino al mattino
Poi la strada la trovi da te
Porta all’isola che non c’è

Forse questo ti sembrerà strano
Ma la ragione ti ha un po’ preso la mano
Ed ora sei quasi convinto che
Non può esistere un’isola che non c’è

E a pensarci che pazzia
È una favola è solo fantasia
E chi è saggio chi è maturo lo sa
Non può esistere nella realtà

Son d’accordo con voi
Non esiste una terra
Dove non ci son santi né eroi
E se non ci son ladri se non c’è mai la guerra
Forse è proprio l’isola che non c’è che non c’è

E non è un’invenzione
E neanche un gioco di parole
Se ci credi ti basta perché
Poi la strada la trovi da te

Son d’accordo con voi
Niente ladri e gendarmi
Ma che razza di isola è
Niente odio e violenza
Né soldati nè armi
Forse è proprio l’isola che non c’è che non c’è

Seconda stella a destra
Questo è il cammino
E poi dritto fino al mattino
Non ti puoi sbagliare perché
Quella è l’isola che non c’è

E ti prendono in giro se continui a cercarla
Ma non darti per vinto perché
Chi ci ha già rinunciato e ti ride alle spalle
Forse .. è ancora .. più pazzo .. di te

ITALY..my country

portofino

For all my life I've wished to go away, to travel all over the world, to meet other people and cultures, to see all the beauties around.
Italy sometimes looks a place too tightened to me.
Growning up and above all from when I meet VT and I began to build my Italy's pages, I realized that my country is a very beautiful place to stay, rich of history, art, culture, natural beauties and last but not least wonderful people.
I don't know which picture is better representing my country, I love Portofino, so I edit this; maybe I'll next change it.
So I would to say you: come and visit this beautiful country. You'll fall in love with it.
