Evo, a handshake and the Pachamama Evo, a handshake and
Pachamama (three different topics)
Distinguished Chair: Using
licenses of Journalism, I would tell some professional experiences of my life for 25 years as a communicator that I am this month and they have to do with you. Why do it?.
For the casual handshake we had in the conference room of the UN General Assembly in New York, minutes before you. deliver the keynote address which led to the approval of the UN International Day la Pachamama (Madre Tierra), el 22 de abril.Yo no debía estar ahi en ese momento y en ese lugar. Después de un mes de viajar por varios Estados para hacer reportajes y contactos para mi nuevo libro y película sobre los compatriotas en el mundo y por algunas noches de mal sueño, yo dudaba poder madrugar y llegar desde New Jersey, cruzando calles que no conocía para ir a pie hasta la sede de la ONU en la calle 43.
Pero la noticia es la noticia, así que madrugué, me perdí menos que de costumbre y llegué más temprano, tanto que hice una entrevista que se interrumpió cuando ud. llegó.
Yo me puse al pie de uno de los curules, ud. entró y por diplomacia me tendió la mano a mí primero.“Buenos morning, how are you? "was all he managed to say and I got a smile protocol and perhaps it came a memory of an encounter anterior.Pero crowded on my mind all the" pictures "with you mentally.: when interviewer from Radio Fides Pan or through which you. announced its locks, when together with colleagues from the German magazine GEO visited him in the Chapare and burning her bare feet "kicking" to mosquitoes while we interviewed him, or as a parliamentary received my second book about migration in which I mentioned in my chronic coca-cocaine or agree Oruro Carnival a couple of years and gave my magazines "Migrants" and Roots Bolivia in Spain where ud. it was Presidente.Me had Guiste tell that, but surely this time would have meant to speak of other temas.Como to you. I have shaken hands with thousands of compatriots in Europe, USA and other countries.
They then tell their personal problems to discuss the situation in the country, 50 percent slope for the management and the rest against. The difference with the previous rulers is that, in your case, I found a very radical polarization, ranging from the irrational hatred to full admiration. Same with bosses or coworkers or study of migrants who consider it very close or, Instead, as an enemy by the transformations realiza.Pero the vast majority of Evista and anti-evos "have agreed on their concern about the situation of more than three million migrants, many new travelers and, of course, undocumented and without rights. Insufficient
passports, ambassadors, consuls and consular staff. There is strong partners in stopping the expulsions or labor exploitation. There are no facilities for the return and also a plan to make remittances in generating employment and not derrochadas.Tampoco in Parliament and other institutions are spokespersons for the needs of migrants and visitors of the opposition and government supporters do not explore the issue. Recently, a senator who was several years before the government, publicly said he was "appalled" by the precariousness of migrants, a situation that for years many journalists are reporting. Can not read the newspapers or specialized books?.
Do they only remember the migrants during election time? By the way, another serious concern has to do with the limits for the vote abroad. It seems that only privileged to vote. Many
asked the Bolivian State: If you restrict the right to vote to many, those not participating should not restrict the sending of remittances?. Are we good at something and disposable else?. And Well, after me vent on economic, emotional and political migrants who touch, talk back to the country, now or later. How do you receive them., Sr. President?. And we all, Easterners, Collas and chapacos feel a strong attraction to the Pachamama and feel a part of our "Ajay" (soul), has been in our mountains, valleys and plains.
is that Mother Earth is very strong. In the still chilly New York, Mother Earth made me wake up early to come to the Assembly of the UN and the carpeted floor of that building was the scene of greeting a President with a journalist, traveler and migrant.
is the Mother Earth that inspires me to write a few hours before my flight to Madrid and tell what happens to their children uprooted and perhaps forever losing their Ajay. There are too many broken families, children rebel and physical violence and psicológica.No find another explanation of why I made this text sr. President. But I hope that in another meeting somewhere in the world, we shake hands and "challan" (giving, blessing) a new stage of migration in Bolivia, where we all really the same, inside and outside the country.

Bolivian journalist in the U.S. have not yet found the "American dream" Edwin Perez UberhuagaWashington
DC .- The Bolivian migrants, especially those who have come in recent years to the United States have not yet found the "American dream" and that possibility seems to recede by the global crisis, which originated in this country. That is a balance of interviews achieved in the Washington DC metropolitan air., Long Island, New York and New Jersey.No are no official figures, but estimates there are about 400 thousand Bolivians across the United States, and is the second largest community after the one in Argentina.
makers and members of social, cultural, folkloric, religious and sports, have expressed concern about the serious impact of the crisis and the situation compatriots' most irregular.
In nearby White House, Elmer Herrera, leader of Jacha Uru, which lies more than a decade in Virginia, said: "Our desire is to do something for the regularization of migrants. Many countries able to special treatment, such as Salvadorans who have had wars, Honduran by natural disasters, Colombians manage special treatment by the issue of terrorism and Bolivia is behind in the diplomatic efforts. "The President of the Center for Bolivian residents in New Jersey, Luis L. Mendoza said that with the current immigration reform bill that President Barack Obama discusses the many fellow may have documentation, but you need to convince the opposing forces that are contrary to migrants.
Consul of Bolivia in Washington DC, Osvaldo Cuevas, I regret that as a possible regularization, as for the travel of the fellow is a startling lack of passports, making them very badly.
The former leader of the Civic Cultural Committee in New York, Javier Soliz, adding that not long ago has a consulate in that ciudad.CON VARIOUS ACENTOSComo most Bolivians in Cochabamba and its provinces, mostly in the air Metropolitan is not uncommon to hear the Quechua language in the metro, business and offices. Young mixed Quechua with English and Castilian. Julia Garcia is a professor of Quechua at universities and institutes that strengthen cultural identity.
"is also a protective language as English and is learned by the Americans, Chinese and African Americans and Quechua speakers want to communicate with each other" dijo.También in other areas such as Rhode Island is a large presence in Santa Cruz and Beni , while in New York with a majority of La Paz, which in turn sometimes communicate with the Aymara language. FAMILY DIVISION
A large percentage of marriages that come from Bolivia to the U.S. because there is divorcing husbands take care of the household economy and women are housewives. But here they work, drive their own vehicle and begin to be independent and when the husband calls them something they no longer leave and they can fall into infidelity.
That reality has been perceived by the journalist Ana Elena Poppe in Long Island, north of New York, where similar problems to the rest of this country.The leader of the Ladies Santa Cruz, Assunta Antelo said that there are difficulties for parents depart at 06.00 and return at 20.00 or 22.00 because they work full and part time (full and part time) and fail to see their children.
try to reward them by buying whims and expensive electronic games, but even then earn their respect.
AND THE FUTURE?
Bolivia should act wisely to accommodate the changes required by climate change and global economic crisis, through a good retrofit technology and openness to the vital investments for development.
The opinion was expressed here in a personal capacity by Fernando Loayza, Senior Strategic Environmental Assessment World Bank.
This La Paz said it is important to analyze the climate change with the current economic crisis and on that basis to draw conclusions on some important challenges facing Bolivia. visit and opine on

a Bolivian and Bolivian-Swedish-American Jenny
Dibaj was on vacation in the U.S. where he met another fellow. His visions of the country are very different, writes Jenny, who lives more than 20 years Sweden. dinner with one of my uncles met a Bolivian lady thought she was so negative about the current situation of Bolivia, the government , President, etc it really was so sad to hear what you think of Bolivia. She said
Bolivia has no future and no one living there either. That upset me, you know why? Sure she a woman and more 55-60 year-old former wife of a soldier probably accustomed to a life of living like in the U.S. or Europe and working as a teacher of young children and lives in Washington is another part of social life.
I said it was very sad to hear how she thinks of Bolivia and said bone you say that Bolivia has no future and that people either. Q I told her I met two young Bolivians here in Sweden.
They represented a group of youths who were in the field of both Peace and Cochabamba.Y they do have hopes, dreams, and do believe that it will be possible to live and work in Bolivia without having to feel obliged to leave the country and are very conscious of the difficulties that are happening both jobs is equally difficult to find a job in Bolivia as well in the rest of the world but yet they do not want to leave Bolivia.
know many stories of Bolivians who go through many difficulties on the outside, just the fact of not having papers in different countries to work etc. And of course like any girl also dreams of visiting or even living in another country but not under any deal.
EXPERIENCE I told her about this and I believe that if young people are making it possible to do their part Paraque improve the situation in Bolivia and serious punishment than older people who never think is going to improve our country continue to transmit that negative thought young people have hope and to us who are outside it is often easier to talk about what can be done etc. etc but I think we can only try to put ourselves in the situation of those living there and try to understand what they are going but to really feel how hard it is just the situation would have to live, but even so I always think I represent Bolivia and it is important to give good image to our country because we have so much natural wealth and support in different ways change is happening.
I said also that the president really has a great job, to govern a country you can imagine all that entails and I think that he is not an easy situation. And I said that our president is taking into account the circumstances in which he grew up not fair to compare him to those who had more chances in his childhood and youth, is doing what it can now talk about what this or not doing? Q What we also have in mind is that it may not conform to all.
I said it would be a shame to want to get rid of Bolivia on the map and told me something about the bad treatment of Bolivian and told him not to go far algunosbolivianos not treating other Bolivians to our view and what we do specifically?
And the government is not doing what I promised him that is a process that takes time, perhaps generations, along with not only the government of Bolivia and told him that if anything Obama is going to accomplish everything that promised to one day other or any other president.
I think we have to give it time to change with the hope that if you can improve not to because the thought of not going to change is like playing a football game with the mind that we will lose the match and I am very aware that it may be easy for me to say all this because I'm not living in Bolivia, but what I said is finally which is a shame to think and say there is no future in Bolivia and children, young people their dreams, what? They will not have a future or dreams that work?
If some Bolivians do not try to communicate between Bolivian and already say they do not understand or will not understand because they are in the field, as we want to make communication better in our country. I have experience of working with both prepared Bolivian people who have studied at university and people from the countryside, illiterate.
But always listen and try to feel that if you also have a say in everything, what I notice is that sometimes some Bolivians are so arrogant and that here in Sweden for at least does not help much, here everyone can say their opinion .
But in some Bolivian meetings if people continue to act that way and if they can not understand each other in a small group, as will be in our country but this does not mean that it can not do anything.
And life here in Europe or U.S. is also hard either manera.Y us outside the country? we will completely forget that there Bolivia because it has no future? I would like to say that from my country to my children yet they are not Bolivianos.Mi origin of both parents is very important for me and for them. Origin
This is something that all Bolivians have to take more into account.
She stayed very thoughtful and said that our conversation was interesting and the same for me. Greetings Jenny Dibaj
