Second week

We started watching a video that made us “see” the reality of some communities in Mexico. In here, a group of people were trying to search for a way to bring water to the community of Santa Maria. This clip was interesting because a lot of the people of the community wanted to have a bright future so they joined the project to help build a dam. In the first try, what they thought it would work, failed, but without blaming anyone they tried again but this time in a more organized manner. I think that the most amazing fact out of this is that if people really want to change their living conditions they can and in some of the cases they just need a little help to make a positive change.

The other set of videos that we watch had to do with Ryan’s well. When Ryan was six years old, his teacher told him that they could make a difference in the world and that in that moment lots of people in Africa where dying. This conversation inspired Ryan to build a well in order to bring water to these people. I really think that Ryan actions were correct and he can inspire us so we can also make a positive change in the world.

Here is a documentary video of Ryan.
