dictated development
in Guatemala since the end of the Civil War, 1996, many NGOs were founded, almost all foreign NGO: American or European. Even today, many development and aid projects are managed and supervised by foreigners. This is a general problem of development cooperation, the less often in the cooperation as still in the aid besteht. Obwohl der Spruch „Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe“ längst überall bekannt ist, ist es noch oft gängige Praxis, dass Art und Weise der Projektarbeit von außen diktiert werden. Der Wunsch zur Veränderung und die Veränderung an sich müssen aus der Mitte der Bevölkerung kommen, um nachhaltige Verbesserungen zu gewährleisten.

Armut? Die Welt schaut zu
poverty is nothing new, everyone knows about it. Let's have won only? In Guatemala, about 50% of the population live in poverty, 15% of them in extreme, that they have to themselves and their families subsist on less than a dollar a day. In no country in Latin America, the deficiency and malnutrition is as pronounced as in Guatemala, over 60% of children are unterernährt.Armut is an ever-topical subject but the differences between the nutritional situation in Latin America and the affluent societies are often only be guessed for us.

The spiral of violence
Nowhere in Central America are circulating more firearms than in Guatemala. Meanwhile, the number of murders per day is at 20 The entire population suffers from daily violence. One reason is the often observed failure of the legal system, which has tradition in Guatemala. During the 36-year civil war, the Army has killed tens of thousands of Mayan Indians, very few perpetrators have been convicted. A erheblicher Teil der Gewalt hängt auch mit den sozialen Gegensätzen des Landes zusammen. Der Maya ist der am weitesten entwickelte Kalender der mesoamerikanischen Ureinwohner .
agricultural exploitation
Guatemala exports are coffee, sugar, cotton and bananas. Especially people who live in rural areas are particularly threatened by poverty and dependent on agriculture, but have only tiny, hard-to-manage areas. On fertile land, in the hands of a few large landowners, not staples like corn, but exports, especially coffee are grown. As harvesters you earn on a farm about 36 Quetzales in a day, for € 3.50 100 pounds of coffee. A liter of milk costs the locals more than 12 Quetzales.

love Volamos Juntos -/Los Patojos - Interested!
A busy and memorable week has gone by so quickly. After I spent last Sunday in the largest market in Guatemala in Chichicastenango, the church, practiced in what sometimes still "Maya rituals" a , represented the sights, once again started the day of intercultural wonder and learning . On Tuesday I had a Power Point presentation prepared on the issues of young people: "What is the food in Germany?", "When is the Independence Day" (because it is in Latin America are celebrated in style, so the more or less bloody separation from the English colonial system) and "How many residents of Germany? ". But it was different and not for the realization of my project that day. Once a week, direct the manager to the guys and gals, relaxation exercises, in which they find physical and mental rest and relaxation. Due to insufficient understanding of the following skills I can only simplified and may not play perfectly correct. In any case, the young people see below dissolved breathing mentally and emotionally a place where they feel safe and where they connect with good memories. In addition, they had there, imagine a person who was very close to them and are no longer there. Likewise, the "rebeldes" but also encouraged to symbolize this place their confidence a happened, painful situation of their lives. They were then Linda, a supervisor in whose living room the teenagers allnachmittäglich spend their time together, prepared again gently on the disengagement from that place and on awakening. What followed my being shaken but not negligible. Some young people, vor allem aber die Jungen, welche stets einen sehr taffen Eindruck machten, begannen bitterlich zu weinen und zu schluchzen. Ohne dass sie Worte verloren, konnte ich nur erahnen was sich in jenem kontemplativen Moment aus dem Unterbewussten und Verdrängten Bann brach, was sie erleben und erleiden mussten. Ich werde niemals vergessen, wie die Jungen ohne Worte aufeinander zugingen, um sich gegenseitig minutenlang zu trösten. Um die trauertragenden Wogen zu glätten, leitete Linda die Jungen und Mädchen zu einem Stehkreis an, in welchem alle, der Berichterstatter eingeschlossen, nach einer Zahlenskala einen Vokal wie „a“ herausschreien sollten, um so eine Los-Lösung vom erinnerten Geschehen zu erwirken. Jedoch gelang es nur einem express boy, his grief, anger and / or disappointment in the form of verbal easing. After that it seemed more appropriate than to postpone the presentation on Wednesday at the "Rebeldes" to prepare by playing volleyball and football is a physical and emotional well-being. In the evening I tried again in the role of German teacher, again in private, which, however, this time brought a small pair of facial attached. One very bright, with her daughter appearing German Guatemalan interested, I gave her first words and phrases in my mother tongue. Rather, we worked out that together, because they brought a lively motivation the correct pronunciation, with which I demanded of one but belonging High German. I hope she comes back next week with the same joy of learning. I would like this report as well as regional studies on my presentation!
this one but no chickens or other small animals in this Christian holy places of sacrifice that is done in fields and meadows. Rather are in the church stones, candles are lit on which to give thanks for specific gods or for a project to request protection and success. Hasta pronto

Werte Besucher, Freiwilligendienstgeneigte und -erfahrene,
nach einer krankheitsbedingten Pause bin ich nun wieder da. Die letzten eineinhalb Wochen waren aber nicht nur für mich etwas ruhiger. Es gab mehrmalige Treffen, an denen sich die einheimischen Betreuer und Freiwilligendienstleistenden gemeinsam Gedanken über Ziele, Erreichtes und noch zu Erreichendes ihres Wirkens machten, also einer analytischen Reflexion nachgingen, daher blieb das ein oder andere Mal das Projekt geschlossen. Auch, weil für den an Nierenversagen leidenden Leyton ein neuer, nur für ihn zugänglicher Badumbau verrichtet wurde. Hier ist immer Bewegung drin, sowohl für die „Profes“ als auch für die Kinder.
The last German class, so should the knowledge of the German time are reviewed, was very intense. The oral "control" resulted in a success rate of 100%, which may well be due to the fact that only a German was interested to class and had repeated that the site or house, too. It left me not the courage and, despite vehement struggle for reasonably apt translations and words, the hour was in a relaxed atmosphere, so the girl at the end of the German months, seasons and time very well controlled. Also remained so still time for one or two extra vocabulary desire, which I like nachkam.
Was war sonst noch geschehen? Im Rahmen des sogenannten „Mano y Mano-Projektes“, in welchem die Voluntarios einige ihren Neigungen entsprechende Aktivitäten mit den Kindern und Jugendlichen durchführen, habe ich mich nun für eine Folge wissenswerter und gleichsam unterhaltsamer „Arbeitsblätter“ zur deutschen Heimat entschieden. Klingt trocken, die erste Ausgabe „Deutschland und seine Nachbarn“ erzeugte aber reges Interesse und findet Fortsetzung. Nun, die fast europäische Mitte und dessen Nachbarstaaten wurde im Uhrzeigersinn, also im Norden beginnend nach Osten folgend, vorgestellt. Dabei las jeder „Rebelde“ einen Satz, was ganz gut klappte. Anschließend they should specify on the AB map to neighboring states in the order of the text. This was somehow not as easy as I thought, and it is not clear is why . Apparently it was to the east and west, a policy question, listen with the two directions in English with "este" and "Austria" also damn similar. In the end, then everything in the right place. Next week I will prepare myself then to be held on scraps of paper questions to the German countryside: "How is the food in Germany", "Is there also earthquakes, and a must for never?" Wars, Hitler and his life ". It is always again to overcome the same challenge: moving away from Eurocentrism and toward the world (a) view that Europe it is only a small, though perhaps important continent, but what continent is already insignificant?
soon, then there is something new for the old world,

crafts ... the embroidery on the poncho looks so beautiful ... 
trying out ... but you realize how much work that means. 
love Los Patojos-interested, there are now
nearly one and a half weeks since the last note passed and they were very eventful. Let me start with my first German lesson in English: Without much preparation as I was almost Replacement of an age-well-mixed, German interest group to explain the time. This included not only a departure from the current time in Thuringia statement like "it's quarter to three," but also the neglect of the 24h rhythm of time '. The latter explanation would have led to unnecessary confusion, but which were themselves not to misjudge the amateur German teachers. For while he to some degree-level appropriate words to convey, that was startled by the complexity of the German time expression. While in the English for "it is / we have 5 (minutes) after half-three" simple "son las 3 menos 25" says, or about "It is 3 (Clock) less 25 minutes", you have to specify the Germans only the difference after the half hour, so the 5 and then is only half the third .. I think somehow they have understood it. Next week comes the final confirmation! Furthermore, there was a "cultural tarde", or a cultural afternoon at the adoption of a Voluntaria. Hard to believe, but controlled within 4 days, so more than 10 patojos juggling 3-4 balls. Slowly it dawns on me what it means when Juan Pablo, the main supporter of Los Patojos says that sleeping in the children an enormous potential! On Friday we were on a big football Erdplatz . Play As announced, so was the game with me, there were three fight at "adult" stamped on all patojos of great intensity, so that a sweaty not only because of the high humidity kicking ball ended in a draw. I think, to the satisfaction of all. Also, I've decided the purpose of closer cooperation for a group that calls itself "Rebeldes" on German well: the adolescent. The handling is quite easy, being me, my lack of English language skills make it difficult to gain direct access to the youth something else. But there is still a language other than words, or? Anyway, I've been a little activity into Eye in focus. The rebel groups are to imagine what they good at their home like and what not. About the most successful presentation is to be polled and a small reward to give additional incentives to the extent that theory ... There is so much to tell, of course, not always cheerful. Among other things you get here with all the drama in front of your eyes, what can it mean if simply no money or specialist in the treatment of disease is present. Since Germany is the basic security of its state-despite some injustices really there!
Hasta pronto - soon!
