Margarita goes to Nuevo Futuro


Amish kids playing. Hand made by Patricia.

For my surprise Margarita discovered that our neighbors, kids that don´t have biological parents next to them, make one of the most interesting communities we know. ICBF (Instituto Colombiano de Bienestar Familiar) seem to offer couples (!) the opportunity to make a living by taking care of this children (!!). I really have to see it in order to believe it: I have to admit that my interest in the system is very low not to say nonexistent. But if this is true, maybe our kind have another chance within this capitalist system of ours. She was asked to work there. I think this is a great opportunity to learn how does this works. By taking this type of advantages of this system we would slowly abandon it, i.e. we will be as self-sustain as possible and at the same time we are a part of the very system we don´t want to live in. That is to say we are adapted to the course of events and at the same time we make viable a new Harmony, our very loved dream.
