Imposible things

On Sept 11. we played at ProgPower X.
What an experience! The perfect envoirement for a perfect rock night.

We knew that it would be a great festival, very well organized, professional etc.
But when we got there we were amazed and we saw how things should be done in every field of life: Top quality professionals working with passion, respect, talent and hard work. The key elements for a successful project.

... and more! Many of those involved in the event were working just to help and for the satisfaction of being part of something so special. Our heart was toched and it was a lesson learned that we will carry inside our minds forever.

We should believE in ourselves, fight for what we believe even when no one believes in you.

That is when imposible things become posible. And you turns to be special.

We are all human

BELEM, Brazil, Jan 27 (IPS) - A human banner made up of more than 1,000 people, seen and photographed from the air, sent the message "SOS Amazon" to the world, in the first action taken by indigenous people hours before the opening in northern Brazil on Tuesday of the 2009 World Social Forum (WSF).

The mass message reflects the concern about global warming:

"We are raising our voices as a wake-up call to the world, especially the rich countries that are hastening its destruction," said Edmundo Omoré, a member of the Xavante indigenous community from the west-central state of Mato Grosso on the border between the Amazon region and the Cerrado, a vast savannah region in the centre of the country.

In this situation, indigenous people should have political participation as of right, not "as folklore or as a merely cultural contribution," Espinoza, one of the coordinators of the indigenous peoples' presence at the WSF, told IPS.

Furthermore, "we are the first to suffer the effects" of climate change. Rich people can cool themselves down with air conditioners and buy food in supermarkets, but "we depend on the fish in the river and the animals in the forest, so we are concerned about the future that belongs to everyone," added Batista. (END/2009)

If we keep destroying our planet and taking more than we need, obviously we will end up with nothing, and as a human tradition, we will destroy ourselves.

Do your part! You are human too!
