My darling!
I'm arrived safe and healthy in this place of mads. We will work in a camp managed by the Caritas of Valona (two fathers with one big beard, and a little heap of combact's nuns) and the italian scouts. There are approximately 2000 people accommodated in four sheds that were used by the italian soldiers during the operation "Pellican" at the beginning of the 90's.
There are approximately 900 children, from 0 to 15 years, and also many women with pancione. Clearly there are few males between 25 and 45 years. Many children have brothers and fathers still in Kosovo, combatant of the UCK, from which they do not have news from various weeks. The camp (and in kind all the city) remembers India enough: drains to sky opened in the narrow channels along the roads, building not fully completed, rubbish on the road, many little shops along the streets. There is just less people around.
After a night of ferry we are disembarked and Johnny (best-boy of the parish) helped us with the bureaucratic formalities and carried us to house... we are in rent in a appartamentino in front of the convent of the nuns, to first slowly of a small house of one the mrs. perhaps settant' years, that we call Sora Olga, with a beautifulst (and above all riposante)verandina with the lives that they make us from ceiling.
We have been received warmly from the five of the previous group that have explained us po' an operation of the field and in kind of the type of mentality that exists here. Three of they are then are shared for Italy while Paul and Bruno are remained a day still in order to help us in the acclimatization. After the lunch we have gone to the field... a show that it hits, above all because us is within and it is not watched from the screen of the television. The field close to we, sopranniminato 5 stars, is that one of the regions: 1000 volunteers with 5000 hosts, not are that to say... From we are 2000 persons, managed from 4 scout, 5 nuns and a little young volunteers of the Albanian Caritas...
There is a bag of job that neanche my room can be compared (and who the sight can truly understand what is here). My task will be the animation of the children and the school of Italian and English. You save the struck ones, a lot of it understand therefore little that I can pemettermi make the master... Today we have not made school for the change of contingents, but I have given arranged to the classrooms (two old ones stretches of the Albanian army, much worse also of our ministerial ones that they have made from schools in Umbria) and I have also hung one bottiglietta of water with of the flowers. Tomorrow morning is begun, hopes of being to the height, the maximum is exited outside playing.
I embrace to all

But nononstante all we are survivors.
Stamattina we have begun the activity of the asylum... I have recovered a large box of games for small children and a apio of plai that we have put for earth in the space in front of the stretch-school. I have recovered three or four children from the mothers in turn x the field who have endured themselves throws to you on the games. I counted on passes word between the mothers in order to scrape together other " students " but nun has arrived one saying: " you them port I ".
After ten minuteren they were approximately one cinquantina... I have recovered others two bags of games and others two plaid. Fortunately an Albanian girl of the caritas has arrived that with a megaphone she has maintained a little order... The thought scares me already of what it could happen tomorrow. This evening the families will have spoken themselves...
My lessons of English and Italian continue while. Today with the " means " (between the 8 and 14 years) we have made the old small farm, in Italian and English, and a pair of dances. With the large ones instead the job very more difficult... it is tried to teach a linguaz that sapete therefore therefore to people who do not speak yours... Then the accents are of the incredible things therefore that to fine one us renunciation...
From the field of the mission rainbow two scout has come in order to help with the animation, blessed they to me. At least therefore ce we divide them.

Luca

still I!
Stamattina the asylum has shown all its weaknesses... still had not arrived the nun and was full of children beyond age (but that voglioni children of 12 years, to play with peluche and trottole) and to hard work we have them capacities via. Then when we have turned upside down the bag of the games 1 person has smashed in the cord of the order service () and it has been a slaughter...
to the end but the good it has reigned to the end, racogliend the games is veunto outside only a bag, de two and half capacities that someone has made the clever one?
also today afternoon to school the children hid pennarelli from all the parts, and finche they are maschietti them perquisisci, you make the voice a po' large and someone fishes it, but the femminuccie, even if you see to them imboscarseli, that you can make?
Stamattina is arrives 6 scout to you from the Piemonte, assigns you to the mission rainbow, but they must be introduced from the 7 of june and therefore in these days they are hosts and they work here with we are it arrives you towards the 8, an acceptance with coffee and biscotti, happy beautiful they, but to the 8.30 we leave all for the endured field svezzati without an hour of rest....
the field calls 101K, ago a lot lager... the young people of the field has given to a name, " power and freedom to it " but the Albanian government (that it manages the field) does not want no type of written or trust, because the thing must be temporary, as soon as ended tornoerà to being warehouse... mah! 101 is the civic number... K is for kosova
stamattina is arrives three trailer trucks to you from Italy, part of a strange association, and wanted to deliver a package for every criminal family of the field...! after a little arguments if they have gone some, I would not know that what has made after but to suor Barbarian straight hats they were not +....
Today to school I have created the registry... 47 children, crams to you in one stretches of 3x6 meters, other that the Italian schools!
I have made also the appeal, between risate several for mine pronounces... account tomorrow to distribute a quadernoi to everyone, with the name written over and to withdraw it to fine lesson... will work?
a dirty salute (I have not still made the shower)
Luca

Peace and well.
Yesterday evening I, one nun and one have made the first reunion of the didactic council.... girl of the caritas...
Stamattina to the asylum we have avoided the games... one some thirty the children, of the just age. One peace....
Large the evidently snobbavano activities without resources " to imboscare "
We have made the shapes of the hands of all the children and we have given a pennarello to it in order to fill up them. If they are seen some of all the colors (literally). When the large ones have picked that they came distributed pennarelli in " easy " way they have begun to infiltrate itself... to the end we have recovered of the wafer like merendina, consegnadoli by hand to every small child, with large displeasure of the large ones, and relative invectives in Albanian (make a moustache us...)
The warehouse close to the school begins to fill up itself of papal chancery, migliaia of matite and pastels, but the only penknives are the 120 that I have porato down... precious goods!
The school in the afternoon has recalled oltremodo people... beyond to the 47 yesterday is some arrives other forty to you approximately... looks at that the notebooks attract more of the pure and simple culture...
good night!
Luca

Oplà! Sixth day.
Stamattina with the asylum we have used the didò. One show! The large ones not were because we have activated an other pair of scout that it has made a raid and if them one is capacities via cleaning up the field (squadron equipped with latex gloves and bags)
As usual a pair had the colored language, but the product would not have to be toxic...
Without neanche the academic quarter of hour as soon as ended with the small they are it arrives the large ones to you for the English school...
In the afternoon others 46 new students to which I have delivered to the notebooks and an other some thirty of enrolled for the notebooks tomorrow... but I have the impression that someone face po' them clever and returns more times giving to me various names... the problem is that I do not succeed to remember centocinquanta faces to me. But I have contracted with one of largest, that it speaks Italian, it is mafia means and it knows all the children, holding it to me tomorrow in order to verify the names... enough that it is not organized with that they make the clever ones...
Today afternoon the others have begun a road animation turning for the sheds... incredible happening! the families sent the children... are indeed an incredible need of affection.

Luca

More and more warm!
The drop curtain frangisole over the school works dearly...
Stamattina with the children of the asylum we have only used footballs, of it it is disappeared one single on seven, looks at that inasmuch as we do not control better the children are more honest... Nno is repeated the experiment didò, but account tomorrow morning to prepare some chilo of paste of knows them... therefore ce n' is for all and nobody can be complained... and if (as usual) someone eats it? if it finds it good? mah... probably more saporita of the meal: from the monday of Passover the field (the Albanian direction) fornise: zuppa indefinite for lunch and bread and cheese the evening. Every day... fortunately that the nuns integrate with the warehouse alimentary.... and also we, every a lot, secretly, scappa some ovetto...
The asylum stamane she was infested of large, than but they have been capacities via from the vision of a football in hand to Giovanni hardly before the merenda. The children were all seated in circles (a group of forty) and have been good bonds to eat the wafer. After an average hour and of it screams and urli peace for the orecchie has decreased Hush absolute... one!
In the afternoon as usual onslaught of the children for the distribution of the notebooks... I have decreed but that today the registrations ended, having already 136 new pupils mark to you and an other group of forty arrives to you today. Tomorrow I will deliver also one pen to head, always marking all on the registry...
Turning for Valona vedeno a bag of it is blotted some with Italian plates, I have tried a Astra bordered (eh, Niki) but I have not seen any... I will continue to try...
This evening we celebrate two of the contingent that tomorrow morning leaves... has found two grappe: 100 lekë, approximately 1250 Liras. the bottle from average liter. I do not dare to know as it has been made...
we hope to feel to us tomorrow...
a bacione
Luca

Eleven chili of paste of it knows them. Eleven!
And they continued to ask of... This evening me they are found also between hats...
But the children are themselves amuse a bag, and seen the amount they are remained also the large ones. Pretty the lavoretti, only that I do not know like saying in kosovaro leaving to dry them to the sun...
Today they have arrived you sew some to them from field from 3000 meal that will have to replace the lean equipment that is hour. They have arrived also the reserviors and the container shower. A lusso! Probably we will have to make guard a little stanotte.
The school of the afternoon I have had to interrupt it because the bambibi they have exceeded the threshold of the decency, although to a beginning they were good and seated, as distibuivano the pens the warmth also increased and therefore their minds... when although repeated you recall (in kosovaro, clearly, hour they are poliglotta...) were not based more and they have to us encircles to you pulling Ts-shirt to us and arms ce of it we have gone with the full large box of pens and pastels.
We are returns after in order making a lesson to you on the presentations (are stanto to feel: " Como I call to you "). The pupils give approximately hundreds were come down to one some thirty.
The other day has arrived a type of the civil protection from the field rainbow. It has entered in the warehouse and it has closed the door behind for if and it has asked to us: " but the children can themselves be touched? not risk to take of the diseases " and this was already here from a week... and we that we turn for the field with heaps of children it attacks you around, in pocket, to the neck...
An other inceve has gone via from the field crying... is always a beautiful blow for who arrives from the field of the regions seeing ours... is felt always much useless...
After the school this evening I have turned for the field with Mirko making serpentone and raccattando children to crowds. It is truly beautiful... with the parents who you sorridono and all who run to you behind... after me also have carried within to a shed in order make me to know the families... all who pulled me here and here, naturally are the master and enjoy one sure reputation...
I have seen of fagotti of child... the all impacchettati ones... of it I have seen also one been born here to the field...
A po' like to Calcutta, the children are the hope of this people...
a bacione to all!

Sunday
Today light day, nothing school, solo the asylum with the small.
I have chatted with one of my large students and it said that stacercando the way to me to go in Italy with its family, ferry or gommone. It will cost approximately 1550, 1700 marks Germans. It has of the relatives in Holland who would down come to take it if he arrives. For he perfectly normal what is one and of it spiazzante serenity spoke with one. Regarding all the problems that introduce us newspapers in Italy us it finds po' a place outside.
In the afternoon I have carried spasso a little children and, naturally, many had written on the arms with pennarello the UCK, and they said to me that a brother, who two siblings and the father to fight had who. A child then explained (naturally in kosovaro, that it is a po' various sall' Albanian, for this has some difficulty to understand...) that two siblings were in the army and the papà was dead man, and explained it muovendo the hand in horizontal. Me èp come magone for all these things, and as they of it spoke therefore calmly.
The evening we have celebrated the Eucarestia in Italian, we were ten scout and one nun. One Putting po' strange, all harvests around to the altar, praying for all the one which succeeds round to us, and indeed is understood how much insignificant one can be our service if we do not have to the shoulders the hope that revived Christ gives to us. On the question " Because " that all this people is placed it is not possible to give an answer, and this is estremante sconfortante.
I embrace

Rieccoci to the work.
Stamattina is begun the school for the children of the field. That " true one "... From the 8 to the 10 they go in one school of Valona with of the kosovari masters. Therefore with the asylum practically free field. That although is shoots two or three footballs to you... The problem has been that to the 10.15 they are returns the boys to you from school and there are passes to you. Seeing all they have formed a group that has obstructed the road of the field and it has concretely engaged us in order to check the incomes, and to think that of usual it is attempted to block the escapes...
With the large ones I have jumped the first task in class why printing of the parrochia did not go and the sheets are remained lì. But this evening all it is left again and tomorrow it will be worked!
To half morning a jeep has arrived full of military of the UÇK, with a lot of hung guns and mitra (with all the children who stuck. brr!) that they have turned a po' for the field. They are puttinges to make a little propaganda and to try some new lever... I have asked information to one for my students, what fa' from translator in the afternoon, and he said to me that exactly young people tried, and it that he has father and two siblings in Kosova would even have left with of the friends.
Then the soldiers have carried the news of a killing of a mebro of a family of the field. They have carried the personal flag kosovara and effects. Nel.primo afternoon, just of flank to the school while I made lesson, the family has come to cry. And while it was in it stretches to check the boys has come one of the civil protection (are mounting the kitchen from field) to dirmi " You hold within, than outside there is a family that cries!". I have watched it with two eyes from cernia and I have said to it " To hold them within? But what says? It has counts them to you? They are a sessantina and it is already difficult makes lesson us. They go and they come continuously." and it makes me: " then he sends them via all ". I have said that it was not the case and then if it has gone some.
Mah, I will have I churn well? It is that they are here from ten days but me seems perfectly of being integrated in the field... these " tourists " who arrive and try to organize me frankly seem funny... Like the two police officers who have come in the warehouse clothing past week asking for the short shortses. To the demand for the ransom they have said that they wanted them for they... why they had warmth! I not was in warehouse but the answer of Donatella has not been just conciliating.
In the afternoon we have not made animation why calm for the mourning has asked us a little, even if the children us scramble up the same one, why, fortunately, they are able to laugh and to play if a smile is given.

Large day! Covered of clouds that did not look at a sun beam!
But...
Stanotte is jumped a tube of the water in bath and to the six they are waked up to me and the water had caught up the centimeter in corridor and the three in bath. General alarm clock for emergency and all intontiti to shovel...
To nine and ten there were four children to the asylum. Mah.. Then mothers have arrived three girls () of the field with behind a codazzo of children in she spins for two all for hand. Spectacular! They are themselves arranges to you in the asylum and the girls managed them perfectly, will have been at least one cinquantina. We have pulled outside peluche and footballs for + small and dawn to color and pennarelli for largest and do not seem to me are disappeared null. She looks at herself that our job is working perfectly, people take conscience and begin to manage the field with the own resources. Regarding how much it said Paul (of the first contingent) to have to find of the larve we have made of the steps from giant (larve meant like people that had still not become very account of what are capitato and remained as intontita and inert to the field)
In the afternoon we have been outside making school why within at this point not there are more and it stretches it is beginning to give it to signs of structural yielding (poverina, has made its time and the children are not sure clement...)
We have taught a pair scioglilingua and has been divertentissimo... Then we have launch the enterprise more spectacular than these ten days: the game of the pulizia of the field!
Four squares, initially from fifteen or so persons. But seeing that distrubuivano the guati ones are she arrives others to you ten or twelve for square. Ended the gloves the name hands (To, D wrote of the square on the C, B). square people mischiava and it removed the gloves in order to come in mine (is not that me the shooting, but I am the master and all stravedeno for me... after a po' is also stressful). We are you leave black bags to the hand for the field and all ran here and here for rqaccogliere more possible trash... to the end we have made cira 17 trash bags stracolmi... A successone. Then the premiazione, with squares from forty and approximately twenty medals... those lacks has made to you the flight...
Hour the field remarkablly more is cleaned up... hopes the thing is maintained, and people begin to use the cestoni for the trash...
Anecdotes (than you will not see in TV or on newspapers)
- Yesterday it is last the van, beautifulst, raised, darkened glasses, antennona the highest CB, cleaned up cleaned up without I spin of powder. Wow! from where it arrives? on the flank the written OSCE. But then they exist indeed! And probabilmete they have also the conditioned air!
- Yesterday evening is arrives you of the criminals of the civil protection of the Liguria. They have opened the van and they have begun to distribute pennarelli and candies. The children have made one fray furibond. One of the from Liguria ones has then taken ten and has gone some towards the baretto of the scafisti and it has bought to it a little freezes to give to you.
Then we are that we make the figure of the tirchi that we never do not give the roba. Incredible.
And the fact has repeated a po' also today but with of people of the Marches, me it seems, between which one that said of being psychologist (wow!) and inveiva against the scout that they are I noticed to stop it...
- Yesterday evening has found two hundred profughi threads to you under the cargo of a truck. the Albanian police incappucciati them has randellati a po'... just in order to avoid to always make the figure of the mafia one... But she seems that hour already an other shape of passage has been escogitata. The ferries leave from the port, are stopped to the wide one, the gommini they catch up them and they load us people.
- Today a losco has been gone around for the field figures too much (in truth neanche losco, the face from Bravo boy ce has it) and is veunto to ask to me, in ingelse, if I had need to assume a translator. I clearly of it would have always need (have present 100 children who speak to you and do not understand? and you know to only say " po"=si " jo"=no " ulu"=seduto " cezi"=silenzio, clearly the words principalòi am in the long run is a po' reductive) but I would not have of that to pay it, I have bounced it from suor Barbarian. They have informed to me then that it seems is a dealer of children. But they exist indeed then? Absolute order to ignore it very and not dargli that minimal I listen. To frost the blood...
mirupavshi (good bye)

Show!
Stamattina has come an English family, large father, mother, two sons (twin, approximately 20) with a friend, a mean (13), one small (10) and one minimal (4), all dressed from clown and has made a show the field. They are in Albania from three weeks and are turning the profughi fields in order to make animation. They leave again to fine week. Of the large ones! the father constructed shapes with the balloons, the large boys made the jugglers with birilli (normal) and swords and ignited torchs (uh!). Indeed phenomenal.
Yesterday evening I was most tired, to the 21.30, while I had supper I already counted to break to me to bed for the ten and it makes me mine nine deserved hours of sleep, then are remembered to me that I had to correct the tasks in class of English made the mattino. Argh! I have understood the sconforto of fine quadrimestre of my mother... between registry and tasks they have gone to sleep to the 11. Then stamattina has waked up to me to the 8. Uh! Nine hours I have made same... then the nuns them have asked to me why they had not seen to me to Putting... eh eh eh
The asylum of the mattino it is going more and more in hand to the girls of the field. Very well! It is just the obbiettivo of the plan indigo, solos that have asked to me for being lì from the eight, to the mattino, why they begin soon and the servants to open the warehouse with the materials... uh! I have ended slept mine...
In the afternoon we have made school outside, leaving already from the appeal, but to half they are stopped to me and they are remained zitto why all made their comfortable ones, only the sitting and zitte (ulu and cezi!) they were the children... after a quarter of hour that nobody deigned to notice of the fact that I was them to wait for they (to part someone that every a lot said " luka, nervous today " but the thing did not spur them to make null) has taken the large box with notebooks and pens and I have put it in warehouse. Who wants the things will return tomorrow nesser (). Uffa!
Then we have made lesson on the families. Papà, mother, brother, sister. I have a brother (two, three) I I have one sister (two, three). But someone then said: " I or quotro frateli, I or oto soreli ", mir! (well!) quattro+otto+uno=13 urca!
We have avoided then to make to say also of the papà and of the mothers, just why of papà to the field ce they are little... poor.
This evening has taken apart me stretches it school, tomorrow would have (hopes!) to mount of one larger, and I imagine, fresher...
I would have to leave from here saturday morning (to the incirca, seen elastic the timetables Albanian) and to arrive lassù Sunday morning. Already the nuns have demanded my presence when the true school arrives goodness knows.... Sure she is that all the kosovaro that I have learned I will have to also make to yield it. I will see... in the meantime I will enjoy these last days bath in means to the children.
Friday would have to come Carl Azeglio to the field rainbow... but from we only arrivaranno the remainders as usual (some journalist to hunting of scoop? to the attack children!)
ciriciao to all
Luca

Natne Mir!
Good evening to all!
Today particularly long day has been one... They are remained to the field until the eight less something, why from three days we remain to turn a little more for being than support to eventual working emergencies. In kind it does not make unlla if not to gironzolare with the usual cluster of pidocchietti hung I lean.
The climate of the field enough is gone up, with the announcement of the peace and the income of the NATO in Kosova. One of the boys who work in the field has said to one of the alpine ones (that they have mounted the kitchen) that wanted spiegargli like sbrinare the frigo that it between a month will be to house... Goodness knows! Suor Loredana says that probably the boys large and lasceranno here women and children until that will leave the houses will not be in a position to accommodating the entire families. A lot to they will be enough a room, just in order to return in their earth and to be able to work in order to recommence.
Stamattina I have reordered all the warehouse 4 with the things for the school and games. We have a bag of notebooks, task a pair of migliaia and tantissimi pastels. In kind arrive largees box with the packages of pastels and pennarelli, but termperini and the rubbers are unna the rarest goods... but people like reason when the things send us? We have some ten of meters cubes (!) of dressed winter: heavy jackets to wind, coats, blankets, also pantavento from ski. And all this us ingorga... mah... we have found also spaiate shoes, a dirty apron and with anchor a handkerchief in the pocket...
In compensation the children turn with the short shortses without mutandine under, with the warmth that ago... And it is easy to recognize why they carry them the same ones dressed for five or six days of continuation.
Having good part of the meal formed from bread if they see some to turn some with of the slices others five or six centimeters (I swear!) spalmate of marmellata... and if they eat to them to bites, but like it does not make yourself with a slice biscottata, all on the same one slowly, but like it makes yourself with an apple, po' and po'.... then encounter runs you here and they take to you for hand. Evviva!
Yesterday evening we have gone to make a jump the rainbow to find the piemontesi. There is a strange atmosphere in that field... we are passes to take us to you to eat to the self-service where to distribute the things there are of the kosovari and when we have ringraziato in language are remained stupitissimi... the children turn in order to empty the trays when it is ended to eat... speak to all how many a po' of Italian, at least the base things... and to a sure point they have distributed WE candies... something did not square to us... we expected nearly that they came makes animation a little us!
I embrace
Luca

It is ended!
The last day to the field has been full of events: the distribution of shoes, the final visit of Ciampi to the rainbow, salutes...
Stamattina, after two weeks, we have mounted the network that divides the Prato of a school from the road, and I have made a billboard with written " SHKOLLA " all coloring... therefore at least when there is from making the guard for the grandicelli that they are infiltrated in the asylum enough to control an entrance from a meter and not a fifteen side....
With the large ones we have not made lesson but written and sung a pair of songs in English and Italian. Then the photo of group with the master... hour that I return in Italy me will remain tightened to make the programmatore single...
In the afternoon I have only given the way to the school and then they have gone to the warehouse clothing for the distribution of the shoes. A room, buia, warm and covered of largees box and shoes imagined, with a turbinio of bambinetti to which you must recover of the shoes that the sock. All arrive naturally with of the feet that have played in the earth until some minute before, who with of the ciabatte ones of rubber (still well), who on foot knots (aio!) and who even with of the Clark of two numbers in more. Of the piedini dirtiest, sudati and cicciosi that must be compressed in the scarpine. The numbers from the 30 to the 35 were our incubus. To the fine Dice it has begun to cut the bottom of the ciabatte ones of rubber n.37, a lot the closing on the foot was to elastic and is adapted to every foot. It took the measure of the foot and cropped with the knife behind of the ciabatta one, eliminating the two or three centimeters too much.
Ended the children they are begins the large ones to you. Fortunately of sandals (the most quoted) ce n' they were various largees box, buys you from the nuns in Italy to 4000 one. People arrived, said already the number and she was dealt to make the maximum a pair of tests... were even changed with in various color. A mother has entered with a pidocchietto in arm, number 24 to the maximum, and said that the shoes were always too much small (for the child, mean). To the fine ones after a bag of tests if it has gone some with a pair of ginnastica that will have been of the 29 at least, and a pair of sandaletti of rubber to just measure, ambushes under the T-shirt. That to make?
Today Ciampi has made its visitina to Valona, five stars, and seems that scout of the Veneto (the those that come every day from we picture is made a bunch, to shovel cacca, to plant recinzioni and to mount tubature) has made a trust with written: " Ciampi, if you want to give one hand, visits the Pelican ". Mythical... we have only seen the helicopter that he landed and he left again. Effetivamente if he had come from we we would have had some problem in introducing to us dignitosamente, we and the field... even if we had already prepared it a beautiful pair of sandals, neache would not have had to make spins.
After the end of the shoes they have gone makes the turn me of honor between the sheds, to chat with some familiar group, to greeting children, but above all to transport to me I lean them he attacks you to the orecchie and he threads to you in pocket. Mirupavshi, mirupavshi, good bye. Nesser Italy, tomorrow in Italy. To the end, on the tree-lined avenue of escape of the field, Valbone in I plant excessive, with its strabici occhioni, and the last irridubili that are only detached in order to avoid the door on the fingers.
How to finish? The travel will be still along before arriving to house, still waits for me the last Putting with the nuns, to the mattino, in the only catholic small chiesetta of Valona. Then the ferry that will remove to me slowly pian. I will have little time in order to rethink to all how much, the fatigue will be more strongly of the emotions and I will make one night of train broken on the seat. Account already to make a little to chiacchiere with the others scout on the field, pidocchi and the scabies that I still do not see but will jump outside between a pair of weeks, if there were problems to find place to seat...
Therefore my storys from Valona finish, hope to you are of company and to have a po' to you decreased in this adventure, in the small daily problems with the field, therefore if it had to capitare to you to at least send of the aprons dategli one washed before.
Natne mir, good night
Luca

You believed to you it are freed of me!
Eccovi instead the impressions and the verifications three days after the return to house.
It has not been a trauma... although two weeks lived in the Albanian culture, the return in a western city is not weighed to me. I have not had problems of " refusal from concrete " and neanche to reinserirmi in a full job of computer, telefonini and hours davanti.al the screen. One what but I have picked yesterday turning for the center: people (I was going to withdraw the diapo). All these bambinetti dressed for benino, with the cappellini for the sun, the clean scarpine. Tantissimi passeggini.
Comparing it with the field the difference he is remarkable. Here the children if they do not walk are still in the cribs, wrap to you like salamotti, otherwise if of scorrazzano in turn, shaking, even without neanche of the scarpine. All beautiful full loads of earth and with of the moccoloni from competition to the noses. It would come to say to me " free " even if the term it could give dared to a bag of arguments.
A fact to be returned to my life therefore easy task has had to the fact that I had not at all left my life, simply has made other for a pair of weeks. Sure with the course of the Pime and the experience in India I have learned to inculturarmi well, that is to integrate to me in the cultures and the places where I go. Not a lot to travestirmi from Albanian, I would be ridicule, but rather to accept people, the way living, the culture and, because not, the meteorological differences... And this to accept the diversities, even if is one what that in " a modern " civilization and " civilian " would have to be daily bread in truth is extremely difficult, above all in the daily life when it meets to us with of the personal and intimate interests, as an example the fact to have always to disposition the water in order does not make the shower...
In these two weeks I have simply made the job that was placed to me, therefore as I make hour. The imported ones have been to insert to me in the situations. Maintaining however my personal identity. The fact to thread itself in the Albanian life has not made to change idea me on blots of it stolen or on the trade of the scafista (perfectly normal things in Albania) but simply to accept this like various culture. Even if particularly it is stonato with my principles. What I can make is living lì, in that context, second my principles, and with this to testify to people an other way of life (are too much philosophical)
I think has been a fortune to have been part of the plan Indigo in place of the Rainbow, just because the Indigo previews this insertion between people, while for how much I have seen the Rainbow was much more in giving to people. The fact to work in an Albanian field wanted to say to be to their conditions, for respecting their rules, while the Rainbow, being all Italian, wanted to say that we were to dictate the rules and the profughi had to respect them. And this is an enormous difference that, if I pick hardly, people must feel tantissimo.
What I wrote you of the children to the Rainbow that the candies offered to us it is an interesting indication. Some scout that they have been lì to make service said exactly me that the relationships with people were a lot little regarding what it makes the Pelican, while lì was come greets you from all, but in mechanical way, to the pelican people greeted to us alone only if to already knew us (however to the new ones it were enough however a smile, an endured salute and were come " integrated "). An other thing that they told to me was the fact of candies like only argument of contact with the Italian (speaks about the children, of which I have experience). When not there were candies the encounter ended. But to the answer (than not there were candies) in Albanian language the child it remained a perplexed moment and it tried a various approach, like if it had uncovered an other type of relation with the volunteer (are episodes that bringing back, told to me from the scout here)
Already someone has asked to me as it can become useful, like making to send something down. The fact to have a point of contact sure and to know where it goes of precise ending what it is given renders people more " generous ".... what I can dirvi is to read every as well as to the Web pages of the plan Indigo, on which often found refreshes of like goes the field (from the communications of the contingents), the needs of the field dawns (change to you very fastly), the addresses and the modalities on like becoming useful from Italy. The address of the page for who has forgotten it is http://www.unitekno.com/indaco/main.html
You salute still and if a day I will return (can be...) will recommence to fill up the story case to you
I embrace
