An Inconvenient Truth and real
This morning while I shower I've been listening to the radio program from Carlos Herrera on Onda Cero and I really feel I have come to the floor ... it may be uncomfortable. Uncomfortable with this society, but also and above all in first person about myself.
Are 8:30 a.m. and I have convened several meetings today in my office by email and phone with my lawyers and people in my team, I think it is not justified in certain things remain motionless. I am well, all of a sudden revolution and put me to work on an idea to me round the head with those around me.
Commented the call from a woman who has left me confused first and then really sad.
We talk a lot about the crisis and many times especially from a very wealthy and from this sector of New Technologies, we do not realize that the crisis, economic problems and so on. are not to fall EBITDA, or that the advertising% occupancy is less, or that it has fewer subscribers, or that investing in entrepreneurs and / or companies rewind, or even falls in the dollar or the CPM, this is a shit, the real crisis is something else and it's real and direct way to other people's lives, and frankly this morning I have embarrassed myself and what I'm doing little to help people live as if this real crisis in my own country, the crisis of truth, not that I have been concerned in the first person.
The case is Carlos Herrera commented that as a lady called yesterday on the radio and explained what it is for the crisis. He has several children and one of them has a total disability, we have operated over 30 times and if that was no longer in itself a drama, the drama of truth is that she and her other children more or less to "celebrate" the days of stay in hospital because they can eat food regularly distributed among all the sick child, or as he commented as they managed to mix with water and milk to their children so that they lasted longer, or bought as scrap meat, which sold to feed the dogs in rural areas so as to mix it with a little rice and eat each day.
The announcer commented on the case even impressed by the testimony, the call had been yesterday, and immediately commented as shopkeepers, fruit and so on. had called the radio and no one asked anything and had secured food from the family during the coming years, pledging to send everything they need every week for food.
I listen to all this did not give credit and I felt a lot of confusion, first because I did not really fit on the head that this could happen in Spain in the twenty-first century, and second because I have always taken the lead we need to do things, everyone can (and should) put a little bit of a sustained and steady. To my shame many years thinking that and not doing anything ... when it is clear that my economic situation would allow me to do some things that could at least help improve the lives of some people like this lady who has called the radio.
In these years of crazy growth in Spain rather endian we have finished our personal ego and as a country. One is placed under the 4 Torres de la Castellana look up those hundreds of meters and thought as the country has progressed, the eighth of the world GDP by what abroad is called "the Spanish economic miracle." We are well rejoice in it. In rural areas are going to ride, nobody is going to rural areas and look down, just like nois look up, and if one day hear such testimony in person, you are like me, obnoxious, inconsistent withthe conception that you have in these times of your country and, ultimately outsiders to see.
I called my lawyers, I called one of my main collaborators and I will see how we can all articulate a vehicle of social partnership, which could at least try to help people in need and to draw on a regular basis and receive funds my business to do so. Servent Diego years ago, coordinator of Leisure Networks set up a solidarity project called "solidarity" and I remember those years have closely followed the things they did. I have no doubt, and I learned things that made watching even with few resources are can do things.
Hence, publicly, is my commitment. As far as we have clearer shape in a couple of days, I will be able to explain the way that we see more viable to do so. I love you, I read that you can bring your ideas, your opinion or you can work with the initiative of here exit.

My dear Simon, there are a large percentage of the Spanish population below the poverty line, by Check Emoticons or social care services for municipalities and explain what it is NOT an emergency.
We blindfolded into the stark reality, because you are you just drop a band, but there are a lot more.
Check a day for the market at closing time, you'll see queues of retirees with a minimum pension for fighting waste products pulled by date or by being in poor condition.
That is so, since before this crisis, Bone now worse ...
This is also the real Spain, but does not go out in the media as it should be for a briefing uncomfortable when we are in our wonderful world first.
But do not worry when our president is progressive in his chair the G20, will have time to deal with such minutiae.
@ Jordi Planas Manzano, as they always have all the reason Jordi.
It is possible that for many years has spent more time watching the stock market that evolves as watching another reality closer and more real. It's sad, but possibly very graphic and real.
A good article, which stirred consciences.
You can count on me for what it takes.
Stand by Me. Although we help by donating money to various NGOs such as Smiles of Bombay ... etc.
I think more investment in start-ups and business fabric and create jobs away from the brick. It is better to teach fish to give away fish.
Alejandro good, I am trying to contact aportarte courage and collaboration with an initiative that we have already put in place and we have not yet announced.
We talked voice of the item.
Jordi Planas mentioned Caritas, which allows collaborating with fixed fees, make timely contributions, to send emergency aid or even donate inheritances and legacies.
It is the most convenient option for those who can not organize anything more ambitious, and I think it would be helpful if all that we have a blog talk of this and other alternatives to help the most disadvantaged.
The reality, the stark reality.
In Spain, there are many people ensituaxión of extreme poverty. People without resources, which for more INRIA, sees him as deniengan aid that asks the state, as the assistant tells them that they had given them orders to people who come from abroad.
People who seem invisible to society, people that we crossed the street and make as many who have not seen anything ...
People who suffer, who invents a thousand Martingala and I do not mean to get to the end of the month, but to survive. There are a lot of people.
But like the hroa of tourism that people seem to be far more when he has visited the country has been the best and most travel is class (with the things we have in Spain), to make donations sent to underdeveloped countries, taking neighbors in their own neighborhood, town or city to be able to help.
Imagine these people will feel like every time they see ads aid to the third world, from foundations to eradicate poverty, shares of major companies in distant locations (the typical picture of the child that sub-Saharan Tanco know, and we all associate with the poverty). These people will be shattered, will feel rejected, abandoned and neglected ... why do not you help them?
I'm not saying that it did not help the 3rd world, not be misunderstood, but here we also have our 3rd world ... but people, the media and politicians prefer to turn a blind eye, because in the 21st century, in a country such as the European nustro, that's inconceivable.
People who want to help, to do so, it does not do it for desgrabar (which many do in the face of the income tax return), but if they do better at heart. Not to mention, of what it would do so in person.
It's not better or worse send 1,000 euros to Africa, which provide warm clothes, food and even help them find work to someone in your neighborhood, but it is closer, emotional and feel better. Help a needy is not synonymous with giving money.
Likewise, regardless of whether or not to create a God or an atheist ... we must recognize the work that makes the church, helping people in the neighborhood who came seeking help.
Poverty is the worst disease of the world, and the main cause of it is money, as we know it is motivated by greed.
I am glad that your initiative and try to stir consciences. I can not contribute anything more to your post because you've already expressed very well.
¿Ideas? Most people who follow your blog are entrepreneurs, or try to be and people closely associated with new technologies and the Internet. I would try to exploit this point and not try to create something alien to the environment in which we operate. Reduce the movement to five points:
- Blogs solidarity: to bring together in a web / wiki all those blogs you want to commit to once a month, at least, talking about solidarity issues: problems, announce events for solidarity, to publicize NGOs, to talk about aid programs , Post photos and videos with problems and solutions of solidarity, podcast ... While it may seem somewhat, with the number of fans who have blogs, surely more of a move. I offer now the blogs where I collaborate
- Sponsorship of solidarity: all those blogs and sites that want it, advertise for free any NGOs, provide a space to publicize initiatives and NGOs, as the FC Barcelona with Unicef, who gave her free publicity (and money given above)
-Donations:% commitments of a publicity generated by the blog or profits, similar to 0.7%
Performances: networking solidarity. Perform one of the many events to networking events solidarity: NGOs present, go to aid centers, giving importance to businesses or initiatives of solidarity ...
-Finally, ideas of solidarity: wen create a wiki, Facebook group ... to bring together several people and their ideas or projects that can help people who need it.
In exchange, participants, in addition to helping make its readers and participants were given promotion to these situations. Will help and you can create a web that controls if done one, two ... or five points from bloggers and websites, giving some kind of certificate of solidarity.
Also, blogs can speak participants from the other participating blogs, encouraging the publicity of solidarity between blogs.
I think that steps are simple, achievable and related to our world, which gives an interesting impact both among readers and in media and to get people to help raise.
It's just an idea.
I pledge to work with whoever emerges.
A greeting
I do not have many ideas, but has my support

If you mention happens every day in Latin America increased by 10 and the indifference that experience, is the same as the rich countries have toward those less fortunate.
I'm glad for your interest enough to help. I told Alex up: "It is better to teach fish to give away fish." Ojala which is not an initiative for a single country.
They also offer my bit to help.
Axel @ Serena, thank Axel, I think I gt the same ... we must define a field and to make things right. I will tell you ....
@ Francisco, as imagined in Africa ....
The effect is often see it in your own house where he did not expect.
See things on TV ... one is already vaccinated
@ maria angel, with the story, thanks Angel Maria
@ Albert, many of the things you say are very sensible and sound very good. will keep in mind no doubt. Thanks for your input.
I'd like to see things more tangible, we present a financial effort, I think we have to offer it as well.
Thanks for offering to work ... I hope in a few days or weeks able to put everything right.
@ Softaltec, raising, which is dicifil do so, because many people can be wrong to interpret what is strictly true, and I realize what I have in mind tb.
In order to participate in something so it takes some sphere of action. Many times it is true that the aid goes to the third world in there because the money "does more things," but it is true that we should raise a field of action and see where and how we can get.
@ Emilio Marquez, thanks Emilio, is that I can count on you today we speak ...
Hi, I have some days leyéndote. Stand by Me. I'm starting a construction company / consutoría report and I am ready to work in what it takes.
Greetings.

Yesterday evening, watching the street at 4, the same thing that happened to Alexander. I writhes guts and also my "unconscious". Also caught my attention that practically all these people who are looking for life and live in deplorable conditions that most of them someone had been agreed to and receiving a mini pension. But at least it was something. Because not all communities, those who govern, they remember their need of truth. Also here in Valencia containers of superstores, supermarkets are tail .. etc .... But it is also has to be the citizen movement that put an end to this situation. I propose the creation of the "Blog of Consciousness" from which to start work and join forces, ideas, "fishing nets" (Axel..) And all technical support, and we know we have to involve society and end this shame. I would also participate.
I think the best thing you can do is work with an already established cancer. I advise you to inform yourself in the Loyalty Foundation to see which fits best with your interests.
Congratulations on the initiative.
My advice is to look for an NGO established with which to collaborate. I recommend you look http://www.fundacionlealtad.org to see what you're interested in more work.
forgiveness for the duplicate
I just saw this, which complements what I set out:
Find food in containers for supermarkets, an urban landscape increasingly habitual
http://www.directoalpaladar.com/2008/10/31-buscar-comida-en-los-contenedores-de-los-supermercados-un-paisaje-urbano-cada-vez-mas-habitual
I find it very commendable that make this commitment and a public way. The truth is that it is worrying that this sort of thing happen. I remember another story I heard from an elderly lady who had been left with a pension really low and whose four children are not helped in any way, was alone and had to go to charity kitchens and continue to be able to eat at home. It gives me a lot of shame that a lady who has worked all his life then is in such a situation. Maybe you could approach toward older people who want to make aid?
And another thing that I have heard many times is that many people who are in situations of this kind in which they can not keep for themselves, gives them much trouble accepting charity, it is embarrassing for them. Perhaps create some jobs for older people that they can do to make them "pay" makes them feel better and more useful. Let me explain because I do not know if I understood, if a foundation that organizes an elderly lady who is in a bad economic situation or make company during the day to watch an elderly lady who has some kind of disease for example, because it achieved two actions solidarity at a time. Well, it's an idea no more to give.
Hi Alexander, is the first time I write.
What I said is true Francisco, we see this in Latin America increased by 10, every day. And it hurts to see a brother, a compatriot, be going through these situations. Hopefully more people, as you are willing to contribute for a better world. I will watch for if you can bring my grain of sand. Greetings!

@ David, thanks David, it's hard to know how, but we can all help. We'll see if we can succeed in structuring.
@ Kialaya, as if it could not be approached like that.
We have to think that possibly contacts and would be more useful focus on issues related in some way with technology ... and we have to see a different field of action ... is difficult ... I would define it very well. Right now I have many doubts.
@ Jose Vicente Lleó, little can be done at those levels, but something will happen to bring us something!
Olé.
I hope you can see how your time and investment will help many people.
To see if more people follow your example and move from reflection to action.
Salut,
Mariano Marcos
I remember one year ago a conversation with a friend on the number of people who Rebuscada in the trash, here in Madrid in search of food or belongings. The crisis has done nothing but make it much more visible everyday.
Congratulations on the initiative. Will be awaiting developments
A greeting!

Hi Alexander,
Me, after studying the issue for quite some time, I am of paperwork and organizing the creation of a foundation for precisely what you say in the post. If you are interested in talking, send me an email.
A greeting.
This article reminds me of my life ... In Cuba these things are like this, I lived ....
It is not really to compare with the situation of these people, because the difference is the degree of desperation ... And go through this as a way of survival, because we were aware that the country was going through a difficult situation and we would have to wring every grain of food that lasted for more ...
Here in Spain, while working as a consultant, I enrolled in some NGOs and to my chagrin I discovered that behind some of you are just an easy way to launder money, and pockets more and more after the subsidies that gives you the state.
I think people are tired of the webs:
.. send an sms and save a life (we all know that behind this premium 4-digit number ...)
Just read:
"Only 49 of the 119 NGOs analyzed by the Loyalty Foundation-company voluntary control of non-governmental Spanish comply with the requirements of transparency and good governance"
http://www.elpais.com/articulo/sociedad/Fundacion/Lealtad/detecta/anomalias/contabilidad/gestion/ONG/elpepusoc/20070409elpepisoc_2/Tes
or simply the view at random in any forum:
"NGOs are chollazo as a business: the rock of solidarity is giving away money and you are committed you are working for free. You hit a few trips "tourist" by Thailand and on top of your neighbors see you as a hero. Not to declare a turkey farm and have tax advantages by a tube. Need a car to travel to Africa and carry vaccines against cancer eyelet? Sure that you give away a brand with a fleet that emerged in the news. It is clear that in Spain which is puteado in a store for € 700 salary is because he wants. "
People need these things seriously, a website which reflects:
Cause -> Project -> Action -> Reaction
On the web that the visit has to live it, to see where your money goes, step by step, photo images, feel identified ... 5 euros to see that come to hand of a child X in the form of food ...
Megaweb tire and those where only you see the button on Donation Paypal, or send an SMS message and save the world (we all know who is behind a number of premium SMS ...
In short order, Alejandro any project they're this ensures clarity and full Donor identification with the cause ...
@ TodoWoW, Raul Thank you, keep you abreast
@ Seidenbaum, thank you, you ask. We finally decided that everything is channeled into a foundation to collect the resources of my own business
