Life Ricardo Market Activities
Ricardo Mercado is 25. It Chaco, but lives in the city of Buenos Aires since 2000, when he decided to study political science at the UBA. After passing the CBC and take the first year of this career, his taste for politics were gradually falling by the amount of injustice he found. On the other year scored in the same college to study law, with more doubts than certainties. He is currently studying third-year materials and states that he is excited. However, life happens on the other hand market. Several years ago he met Gabriel and Jorge Jure Laya, chairman and vice chairman of the Civil Partnership Six Men. This is a nonprofit organization that emerged from the spirit of solidarity of a working group, mostly members of the Directorate General of Technology of the Judiciary of the Nation. Ricardo came to them when they were visiting the province of Chaco in January 2004. "I learned through a friend just formed an NGO to provide social and material assistance to rural schools. I met with them and offered me to join their struggle. I accepted without hesitation because I was always concerned for the people of my place, who did not, even remotely, the same opportunities I had, like going to school, always have food in my house or go to study in the province important country. "
few weeks ago, seven young people attended a trip to a village called Chaco" El Impenetrable ", an area totally neglected and forgotten. In that trip were also two members of the Solidarity Network Wizards, who , according to market were very important and who provided much help, not just doing magic, but in other activities, both boys and with family. On that trip, they visited several more sites in the area Sauzalito where distributed food, clothing, toys, school supplies and 60 liters of drinking water. They lived many experiences. "They are so far from everything, that did not even know Maradona. For the magicians, at first confused with witches, because never in his life had heard of magic. It is really difficult to express all the suffering and neglect towards them. Unfortunately nobody does anything, no serious work in social work there. We have plenty of stamina and will to improve la situación de ese lugar, pero nos falta los medios y necesitamos que se sumen más personas a este desafío", expresa.
El espíritu solidario de Mercado surgió desde que el era pequeño, ya que lo heredó de sus padres que siempre se preocuparon por ayudar a los demás. Al principio el no entendía muy bien que pasaba, porque sus padres no le dedicaban tanto tiempo para estar con el o el no consideraba que era el necesario. Pero después a medida que fue creciendo se dio cuenta de que no era así. Su familia siempre estaba preocupado por él, pero también por otras personas. "Entonces, eso lo fui adaptando. Y si además a eso le sumas los valores morales y religiosos es como que aún te viene más loving your neighbor, asking nothing and expecting nothing from him. Only doing better with your help.
relates that one of the stories that moved him most during these years was that of a boy of a school located in Santiago del Estero. His name is Luciano and is 9 years old. His father had left when he was very young. In one letter he wrote said that when he grew up would be like him. "Someone told me I was going to take as a reference for life, was one of the nicest things that happened to me . Above, I'm not, it is a guy I met at one of the trips and created a very nice link. I chose as best man and every time I go there, spend a lot of time with him. Is a young man who puts a lot of grip to the study, despite having very few resources. The truth that excites me a lot, "she explained.
Some people may assume that part of a nongovernmental organization may have issues against, for example, the time and effort is devoted to it. But for him there, if not everything else. "When I work on the association or Gabriel and Jorge accompanied on trips, I do because I like it, not to look good or to appear as a hero. I do not think if, instead of spending time on this, could be with my friends, my family or studying, "he says. It is something you are born, because he wants to change things. A Sometimes, he says, who gets both the subject, who ends up suffering just like them. Several of his colleagues even had to do therapy because they all came. "That over there may be a negative point, but then the rest is beautiful. Seeing a kid grow up and know that you will get another chance as a result of the work you do, is something unique and incomparable," he concluded.
