What To Name A College Festival

comments from our Ludovica, a reflection on the stunt these days ...


Gaudenti Neroni surrounded by flames, indifferent cooks of the globe, greedy eaters of pasta and, last but not least, "pregnant" to deal with a yoga class. You can not say that Obama, Merkel, Berlusconi and homologues, have been left alone during the G8 Aquila. In those days, their grand papier-mâché, beautifully grotesque but resembling the original, they are magically appeared from the Circus Maximus, Piazza Bocca della Verita, from the courtyard of the basilica of San Giovanni in Piazza della Repubblica. They then bounced on the covers of newspapers and news queues, especially on the web, as a photo gallery and video fun clickable from the home page of the major Italian newspapers. often bizarre presentations of the eight leaders are been accompanied, on average, by explicit messages to raise awareness about hunger, climate change and health in the world. Sometimes, however, with a little 'of sorrow, we have seen published as anonymous "protesters". The objective of persecuting (ironically) the eight guardians of the earth, I can say, however, adequately met. A great satisfaction for the many that we have worked: the creators, organizers, mobilizers, communicators, actors and wonderful volunteers. And maybe we can put in the group also photographers and videographers of the various news agencies that have followed at least a dozen every day, for four consecutive mornings, excited about the appointment occurred to 9 in point, with the stunt of the day. Until sorry to say goodbye, now a bit 'aficionados, the last day of the G8. For me it was my first experience with a media event so important. What struck me, surprised, passionate, was the great value of teamwork, unity of effort which multiplies the results. So be a wheel of the car seize leader of these ten days of continuous operation, has been grueling at times, but always thrilling.

What To Do If Spot Bursts Face Acne

From Farida, the last - and important - considerations

I just realized that everything is truly finished ... almost two years of work, sweat, concern for the G8 and there's nothing I can do to squeeze positive results ... What I see instead is yet another series of great ads, great intentions and no action . The only concrete results are were now recommends that the G8 to keep global warming below two degrees celsius and that seems to be no new money for food and agriculture. It seems we do not know how much of the promised 20 billion is really new.

could be just another way of old promises repackaged sums in the past. In the meantime, however, the number of people suffering from hunger every day on the planet has grown a billion ... How Italian, I wish I could be proud to say that Italy held the presidency of the G8, but the reality is that I feel very unhappy.

Prime Minister Berlusconi is chair of this G8 summit is his third. It was he who signed a solemn pledge at the G8 in Gleneagles to ensure 50 billion extra for poor countries, half of which for Africa next year. Many times in recent months said he would keep his word. He told Geldof and other NGOs such as Oxfam International and Ucodep only a few days ago.

We heard from his government and also by the Italian Foreign Minister. And yet we have not heard a word about how to realize this promise. At 12 months of the end, we must still find $ 23 billion to feed the hungry, to send in more than 80 million children in school and to save a mother Retail certain death in childbirth. Berlusconi has only announced that Italy will pay its annual fee to the Global Fund and will invest in new ways to deliver aid. ... not a great way to lead by example. The other G8 countries have quickly adapted to the situation and have carefully avoided addressing the topic.

On a positive note, I'm speechless in front of the dedication and hard work of the entire team of Oxfam and particularly my colleagues from Oxfam and Ucodep . We almost always worked to ensure the latest announcements on aid, climate, or food, we read all the documents at the speed of light to analyze the smallest change in tone, we pushed journalists to ask tough questions, we have alerted to the fact that the devil is in the details. We also missed a meal or two .... We may not have achieved what we hoped for, but we certainly did our best! and leave little to lose after all. The G20 is just around the corner, so the Copenhagen summit on climate change, then the next G8 summit in Canada. We'll get, no matter how long!
