¿Me ayudás a ayudar?

Les cuento que estoy intentando ayudar a dos lugares.
El primero, es a los niños que están hospitalizados en el Hospital San Vicente.Para el hospital, la idea es juntar lápices usados o nuevos y libros para colorear o dibujos que puedan fotocopiarse.
En cuanto al Refugio Uguet Mondaca, reciben todo aquello que puedan donar.

Espero contar con su ayuda. 

Estoy los días jueves por la tarde (primer cuatrimestre 2017 los jueves a las 14 horas en el aula 1 de Leopoldo Marechal).

Obviamente también pueden visitar el Refugio para compartir lo más preciado, su tiempo. 
Mil gracias!!!!!
Les paso un link con una nota al Refugio realizada el 21/05/2017

Chaucito

Chau 

      Es curioso que esta rápida forma de despedirse tenga relación con la esclavitud. La clave está en la palabra schiavo que en la antigua Italia era una manera de decir adiós. Algo similar a lo que ocurre en español con servidor que algunas personas emplean para señalar cortésmente que están a disposición de otros, tratamiento que subsiste en la fórmula Su seguro servidor, habitual en el cierre de ciertas cartas formales. (En algunos países europeos se dice servus, siervo, con análogo sentido.) Con el tiempo, schiavo quedó abreviado como ciao (ciau, en genovés) y pasó a nuestro país como chau, modo informal de despedirse que resume en una sílaba el “hasta pronto” o “hasta la vista”. Chau agrega énfasis al adiós, como sucede cuando un romance o una amistad terminan bruscamente. O liquida una esperanza, como lamenta Cadícamo en “Anclao en París”: “Acaso una noche me encane la muerte y chau Buenos Aires, no te vuelva a ver”.

Los argentinos hemos encontrado también la manera de endulzar las despedidas y cuando queremos que todo resulte más suave nos valemos del chaucito. Un adiós en diminutivo que expresa junto con la pena el deseo de un reencuentro.  

Entonces, simplemente, chaucito.

“The Little Prince” by Saint Exupery

"Goodbye," said the fox. "And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."

"What is essential is invisible to the eye," the little prince repeated, so that he would be sure to remember.

"It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important."

"It is the time I have wasted for my rose--" said the little prince, so that he would be sure to remember.

"Men have forgotten this truth," said the fox. "But you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed. You are responsible for your rose . . ."

"I am responsible for my rose," the little prince repeated, so that he would be sure to remember. 

See you!

1. READ THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE: “Germany Reveals World Cup Security Plan”

Germany's 16 regional interior ministers met last week to finalize details for the World Cup security concept which will provide policing and emergency plans for the tournament in Germany.

The conference was held to agree on a national security plan which is aimed at preventing hooliganism and potential violent crime in the twelve towns in which the games are to be played.

The authorities are expecting an estimated 3.2 million spectators to attend the finals between June 9 and July 9 this year. "We have a gigantic task to fulfill," German Interior Minister told the meeting. "I am convinced we can provide the best security, but despite the security measures, the atmosphere of the sporting event must be guaranteed."

The security concept itself includes provisions for police, medical, fire and disaster protection in the host cities. There are also contingency plans for possible "spontaneous" events such as rioting, terrorism and personal crime like robberies. Video surveillance will be stepped up, although each federal state will decide on how much to expand it. Such locations will be areas around large screens where games are projected.

Because of the expanded security presence needed, a block of vacations for up to 35,000 police officers was put into effect.

The main focus will remain the prevention of hooliganism. German police have a database of 6,800 hooligans which will be monitored in the World Cup and will be brought into custody before games if security forces believe they represent a danger.

The concept should also address the problem of ticket scalping (new sale at a higher price) and the sale of tickets outside the stadiums which can allow rival fans to gain access to areas reserved for their rivals. Security measures were employed to make sure that tickets at the World Cup are personalized and non-transferable, but security chiefs want to ensure that the sale of illegal tickets is strictly controlled. “We believe this will help trouble," said one of the ministers.

The state ministers are responsible for the concept for Germany and border protection and traveling fans in neighboring countries will be dealt with under a wider concept by cooperating nations. Through this concept, it is hoped, known criminals and hooligans will be stopped before they become a problem for the German authorities.

Another area of concern is the possibility of terrorist attacks in areas where large crowds of people are gathered. The interior ministers said there were no concrete indications that any groups were planning attacks, but they were keeping potentially dangerous individuals from Islamist and other extremist circles under close watch. Some years ago, we only had to worry about the sport!
