go daily from Monday, July 26 at St. Lawrence Community that hosts hundreds of children from Misis compound which has a population of 80,000 inhabitants (Population).
After the initial presentations and the visit the structure we have set out our duties. It 'really hard to express what' that we live every day of this adventure. We spent our first experience in Zambia in a really deep, not because we impose on ourselves to live this way ... just the magic of this land is to bring, we believe everyone, to silence, listening, inner reflection. We tell our experiences ...
Serena: I felt particularly close to right now "Special classroom" available to the community. This is a class of disabled people with physical or mental problems with spontaneity and naturalness that make me feel useful to their growth. In the morning together we make crafts for sale in the market, while do their lessons in the afternoon of art and music, songs and small jobs that will enable them to stimulate creativity, intuition and everything that might make them feel less different. The problem of disabled people in Zambia is very serious because it almost always are born with such problems is marginalized or killed at worst. This "special class" gives them a chance to show themselves and their incredible ability in the world and who considers them not worthy of living.
would be a blessing if the reality of these young people were always made of laughter and fun activities. But their life is also in compaund. Here we went to last Wednesday and we will go again with some tutors who or through a specific and detailed program co (OVC) are trying to educate them in hygiene education and . In particular, we are in the "case" of those who contract a disease (incurable or not) and guardians of the written medical records and related data f amiliari to try to prevent these diseases being passed on to small. 
Luigi: Besides being able to roam the streets of the slums and can therefore confront and upset with the "culture of poverty", we can live and exchange views with the young locals whose views on universal themes not always, however, fit with ours. Every day we face a challenge, not between us and culture of the southern hemisphere of this world, but between us and with us, because every experience is merely move those pillars so common of an alleged top pseudo-western. All this upheaval: the slowness of poetic imenticata and contrasted from our world, the immense natural areas dominated by a sky that covers the ground as if to bless this virtuous d skin of residents who said the resistance to the suffering of a people forced to pay for our welfare, often polishes the deep eyes, every moment that mark this time full of emotions.
To go into detail of the day, the morning I will dedicate myself to cr eaction and care of vegetable gardens, also used to decorate the recreation out of the classroom.
After that, along with Serena, I devote the remaining hours of daylight with kids, including their dances traditional, yet always improvised and original, and our repeated and monotonous songs which give the most spontaneous smiles and hugs: it is a cultural exchange too, but it certainly adds more about us than them. 
Finally, I can not express my sadness to see how these people, so rich in culture and in their daily lives, what they're experiencing a negative phenomenon accompanying globalization, that motivates them to live life moment by moment, without planning a future without letting them see a faster way out. What more beautiful than I noticed, however, is how they always find light and hope in every difficulty picking the best out of each little "Erleben". Serena and Luigi
