I liked the lecture because it was an eye opener – you see how children in other countries
haven’t been as lucky as yourself, they haven’t been able to go to school, they have no toys, they haven’t enjoyed their childhood. Then you realize how this type of organizations, no matter how small they are, do all they can, and even though they know they won’t be able to change the world, the children’s smiles, no matter how few they are, are enough to justify all their efforts.Patricia Aragó Mateos – 11th grade
When I saw the children in the video, at school and smiling, it caught my attention because they were happy to be going to school, which is something unusual in our society.

As Uttam, the President of the Foundation would say: “It isn’t charity, it’s justice. We have absolutely everything, but they don’t have either the opportunities or the means for living in decent conditions. We must fix that – it’s up to us”.
Yevpenij Pancyrev – 12th gradeWe can’t live like we live now, having everything while other people in poor countries don’t have basic things or food. It’s horrible. We have to change, but this change is difficult for our countries because we don’t want to give away our goods, our money…

It was really shocking because you know that poverty exists in the world, but if someone who has lived through it tells you about his experience, it makes you think more. We saw pictures of poor children in India, and some of them were hard to see. All this makes you feel like a privileged person who doesn’t take advantage of all he has.

The talk helped me to become more aware of the problems that other countries have, and how much they need the help that we can give them, even if it’s not much. All together we can do a lot and pitch in to improve their quality of life.

Since the day of the talk, I appreciate even more all the things I have at home even though I
often don’t like them. However, now I think about those children and I’m very grateful for my lifestyle.Sara Martín Alonso – 12th grade
I like the point of view that the Foundation has – not to make people dependant on them, but give them an alternative way, just expand their possibilities and not force them to think like us. I think people should be more interested in ‘being’ and not so obsessed with ‘having’. People often forget what life means and they just let it go on.
