Merry Christmas!!

Bethlehem in Puerto Azara

PINGUELAS CIVIL ASSOCIATION

CHRISTMAS 2007
BETHLEHEM IN PUERTO AZARA

We invite you to share Christmas with a family of the locality of Puerto Azara.

The idea is that each family that decides to collaborate helps a particular family, with a box of Christmas Treats for their table and a message of joy and hope for the holydays.

The preparation of the box requires just to open and predispose your heart, putting yourselves in the shoes of the family that recieves it.

We are not looking for this to be a help with food, but that these families, within their rough reality, receive this box as a message of faith and hope and that they get to feel special in a way. It is important to decorate the box and to enclose holyday cards, messages or drawings made by your kids.

Let's become aware of the fact that joining in this proyect means a commitment with a particular family that will be expecting our help. That's why we ask you only to join the project if youi are sure that you will be able to deliver the box.

We suggest the following content: "pan dulce", pudding, nougat candy, sodas, candy.

Boxes should be delivered until friday, december 21 in Pinguelas (Estado de Israel 2840, Posadas, Misiones, Argentina)

Blog Action Day

Today, on the Blog Action Day, more than 10.000 bloggers from around the world unite to put a single important issue on everyone’s mind - the environment. The climate change is one of the major challenges we are up to, and it's because of that that we need to make a global effort, from the bigger organizations to each one of the bloggers, to try to stop or revert its effects.

We want to save 200 hectares of native forest in Puerto Azara in order to turn them into a natural reservoir, but the municipal authorities don't agree and are creating difficulties, as they started to give these pieces of land to particulars who are destroying them.

Puerto Azara's inhabitants, along with Pinguelas Association and Marcial de Lorenzana Foundation support, are hard standing and fighting not to lose what it's theirs and they love: their land.

Puerto Azara School made the front page of Primera Edición newspaper

Marcial de Lorenzana Institute from Puerto Azara made the front page of last Friday's edition of Posadas' "Primera Edición" paper.

Facing the Mayor's denial to supply the solicited lands to build the school in it's own piece of land, create a natural reservoir and develop sustainable productive projects for the community, the citizens mobilized in support to Marcial de Lorenzana Foundation.

Pinguelas Association, as part of the team which gave impulse to this project, embraces all of the aspects of the actions taken by Puerto Azara community and Marcial de Lorenzana Foundation.

Silkworm Breeding

Within the framework of our Silkworm Breeding Proyect in Puerto Azara, Pinguelas has turned in to the Australian Embassy in Argentina an application for financing, regarding the DAP Programme they are carrying.

The proyect was aproved by the Embasy's Evaluation Committee, and it will allow the construction of a Communal Breeding Room.

We are all very happy!!!
