Here everything goes on as usual, we are in the school and close to final exams. Here in fact the school year runs from January to February and ends in December and is divided into three terms and so now we are running out so do not feel most of the college girls next to us up to sing Late in the evening (thankfully!), newspaper articles are very focused on the end of the year and how to prepare well for exams, it is better to eat, sleep .. etc. As a bit 'like us in June.
Matte's work at the hospital is going well: always around doing supervision in other villages or closed for hours in meetings eternal. ... But he is happy.
Me and Greg in these days of full dull rainy season we have to be very at home and also visits from friends are a bit 'bald (actually giving me some' relief from this new role of baby sitter ten children) because of bad weather. The pastimes of Mr. these days are: playing hide and seek, playing with the sticks (which are hidden in every corner of the house), look in the mirror leads to the entrance window, open all the cabinets to reach its height and spilling the contents (especially with all the cooking pots making a noise spectacular and very relaxing for the mom!), attached to electrical outlets and pull any cables at hand ... including the internet while we are connected already not working flawless but perhaps at this point because is not the phone company ...
In rare moments of leisure by Mr. Greg earthquake'm reading a book of which I share with you a few lines that I consider very interesting and maybe starting point for some reflection:
"According to the report of United Nations Development Program in 1998 (...)
The three richest people in the world have a fortune greater than the total GDP of the 48 poorest countries.
The wealth of 15 richest people in the world exceeds the GDP of all Sub-Saharan Africa.
heritage of the 32 richest people in the world exceeds the GDP of South Asian heritage
of the 84 richest people in the world exceeds the GDP of China with its billion two hundred million people!
Finally, the 225 largest fortunes in the world amounted to over one trillion dollars, a figure which corresponds annual income of 47% of the poorest people of the world population, that is two and a half billion people! "
(Serge Latouche, How to survive development, Boringheri Bollati, Torino 2005.)
