COLOMBIA – BUCHANAN’S TIEMPO PARA COMPARTIR – BUCHANAN’S SHARE YOURSELF April 10, 2012
We have completed a month of Buchanan’s Tiempo Para Compartir in Colombia, Mexico and Venezuela.
Speaking from the inside of how this program has been, we are extremely proud of what we have achieved and how Colombian people have responded to donate 4 hours of their time helping the community, meeting new people, and building good things. I personally have to say that has been a busy month, but full of enjoyment. Working with the charity partners has giving us a tremendous energy of good things and we want to keep working. And you know what? The people who have been volunteering want to come back, and not because of the concert or artist (which by the way we still don’t know who it is), but because how good is to feel that you are helping other people and doing something good for the community.
We are almost there, but for now wanted to share with you some videos of what we have been doing.
This is our first project, building a community centre in Ciudad Bolívar with the charity Un Techo Para mi País:
With Arcángeles, we are building a technology centre, with recycled bottles (pet bottles). This project has taken us a lot of work, but is amazing how is coming together, and we are looking forward to see it finish.
So are you willing to donate 4 hours of your time, to become part of this movement?

One person at the time, and we can change the World!
With this philosophy RockCorps started in 2005 in United States, and now they have changed the mind of more than 81,000 people who become volunteers that have donated more than 324,000 hours of their time to social causes, in USA, England, France and Israel.
Now RockCorps is starting projects in Latin America in Mexico, Venezuela and Colombia, and I am happy and proud to be part of the planning team in Colombia who will deliver this amazing program, more news to come and here a video that shows what exactly RockCorps have done, and I will be doing this semester.

The Secret of Kells March 29, 2010
Little Aisling
This weekend as part of Flatpack Festival I had the opportunity to watch this outstanding film, according to the description:
Twelve year-old Brendan lives in an abbey with his grumpy uncle and a motley group of monks. One day they are joined by the legendary illustrator Brother Aidan, who tells tales of Viking invaders and brings in his bag an amazing secret; the Book of Kells. This unique film tells the tale of how the sacred text was completed and survived to become one of Ireland’s national treasures. With animation which is nearly as beautiful as the book itself – especially when Brendan ventures beyond the town walls to meet naughty forest-sprite Aisling – The Secret of Kells’ recent Oscar nomination was richly deserved.
Dir: Tomm Moore
Ireland/France/Belgium 2009
With: Brendan Gleeson, Evan McGuire, Christen Mooney, Mick Lally
Certificate: PG
Website: http://www.thesecretofkells.com/
What I loved the most besides the story was their graphics. This animation film has a beautiful collection of drawings fully decorated with stunning colour, combination of greens, browns, blues, etc.
Also the music is beautiful, loved the song signing by little Aisling, when is allowing the cat to do what she can’t do, the message of co-working with others is a good sense.
Don’t know where you will be able to watch this movie, probably you can ask Ian from Flatpack to programme another night, but you definitely should watch it.
Couldn’t see much this year of the festival (last year either) but I love this festival; love the people, the programme and all the vibe that you have around. Really missed not being there for the whole time, but want to congratulate Ian & Pip, and the whole team who made this happened.

The Beauty of Prague March 15, 2010
Sorry for not keeping busy this blog, being away for a bit and on holiday as well, enjoying the beauties of Europe as a present from my mom of mygraduation (love her for this present) . Right now I’m in Prague, the city is beautiful but the weather is awful. I’ll never be able to get used to the cold and winter weather. I miss a lot my sunny and warm days (where are they?)
To not keeping this blog that empty, here it is Prague, with the view of the Charle’s Bridge and the Prague’s Castle on the back. Worth the visit if you haven’t being here yet, and if you have come again. But from the spring to be able to enjoy it as 100%.
Me in Prague
In 1971, Prague was denominated as UNESCO world heritage, few cities can say that.
