UN NOME NUOVO

Per la seconda volta, nella mia breve carriera di madrina africana, sono stata scelta per assolvere a questo delicato compito. Stavolta non si è trattato di un adorabile bimbetto di pochi mesi ( http://danielabubaque.altervista.org/lettm03.php ) ma di una giovane ragazza bijagò, that after five years of preparation for baptism this year has finally been able to receive the sacrament sighed.

The friendship which binds me to Sui, better known as kuke is strong ... and is well worth yet another canoe trip!

then start Bubaque time to fulfill my obligations as a sponsor and accompany kuke this important step.

important to her, who deliberately chose this path, but also important for me, as they are called to be godmother to her an example, a model, a reference point ... anything but easy!
moved, as I witnessed the ritual of the name used to our Italian christenings, where children are baptized within the year and where are the parents to choose the name of children, the "name change" I took it a little 'off guard.

Since many guineensi have a traditional name, at the time of baptism they are asked to add a Christian.
kuke but expressed no preference and has asked me to "rename it"! Oh God, what awful responsibility!

I was thinking that night: it is not easy to choose the name of a person, a name that will bring you back to life.

choose the name and add a piece to the identity of a person, make a brand that will always, play an important role in his life ... well, a big thing!

I've thought and thought, and I ended FRANCISCO , in homage to the saint of Assisi.

The choice of this name kuke wants to be a wish to grow in simplicity and humility, two virtues that St. Francis certainly not lacking.

Congratulations, Frances Sui, pa bo, kaminhu IABR !

CONTRA VONTADE

'There is outrage in the air, in Bissau, from an attitude to the Portuguese ambassador with a lusa citizen. I will not comment or "link" the case, precisely because it is no longer just "political-diplomatic" to begin to be personal and gut. I do, however, interesting that Guineans are mainly the spokespersons of the outrage (and hence does not come any harm to the world). I shall make only some general remarks on the presence of foreigners in the capital of Guinea Bissau. Let me be clear that I am not referring to anyone or to any group of people, concreto.Bissau has 3 types of whites (diplomats, aid workers and others): 1 - those who are there because they were sent there by the institution / company they work for, 2 - those who were are for cash, 3 - who are there because they like Africa and / or Bissau.Os Guinea-third minority, are more discreet in the middle of the wildlife that abounds in the small African capital. Not in the spotlight, do their handiwork and go enjoy life, happy to be there, while admitting that there are better sites to viver.Os first and second are the ones that cause problems. They are rude, they work against the goodwill and misrepresent the bodies / companies for whom they work. Whine all the time in a land and a people who already carries on his back a whole ordeal. Become racist. Arm spats. They smoke drugs, drink alcohol, have sex with anyone who does not and must spend time trying to forget the time he is - punishment - in Bissau.Ora, these people have no guilt on their luck. If you were to stop Bissau is because, where they were ill or earned or not earned the trust of his superiors / bosses to go to better sites ("better" they say, because to me Bissau is the perfect city to live). Thus the guilt of his actions is who sent them there, that should not have sent. Who, in the northern world, makes the choice of professionals to send to Bissau should be more careful and not to throw any um.Por other hand, who is sent there should not descarrregar anguish e frustrações em cima dos outros. Bissau é uma cidade pouco simpática (na perspectiva desta gente), mas nem sempre na vida se pode trabalhar em locais (ditos por estas pessoas) “agradáveis e bonitos”. Não se pode comer bife do lombo todos os dias. Uma bentaninha cozida sem sal, cheia de espinhas e a saber a bolanha não faz mal a ninguém, de vez em quando.'
