Volunteers 2008-2009 | Allison (Peru)

Twenty years ago, I was born in Lima and it was similar to this time: it was August and it was winter, too. My parents decide to call me Allison and in this moment I start a new time of my life that I’m going to share with you, I’m really happy for that, I know we are going to make strong bonds of union of our cultures!

How about me? I study Communication at University of Lima, I choose this career because it joins much things that I’m attracted: philosophy, social development, photography, cinema, etc. Besides I like a lot the music (trova, rock –pop, peruvian music) and I play the guitar, too.

I have been doing volunteer “work” since 2005, and from that moment my “view” of the people and situations which surrounded me change definitively. At the present, I participate in the volunteer program “Magis” which is a latin word that means “more”, “be more to give a better service”. We are 7 teams, all working with different places and problematic; my team of Magis goes to an asylum in Lima called “Canevaro”, in that place there are approximately 300 people (grandparents), but we just share our Sunday with 4O of them. This experience is more less new for me because I use to work with children, but I have learned too much from this oldie people. Also I have done a grateful friendship with my team of Magis.I’m little confused by my future not because I don’t have any plans, is just because I like a little of many things, but I’m going to define what I’m going to do when I finish my career, I’m in the middle of it yet. But I’m thinking to study Diplomacy or maybe a master in Communication or maybe Music. But something I’m not confused is about my view of the things, in any project that I have I know that it would be present the prevail of having the human being value at the top and its harmony with nature; and to be more for give a better service to the others, because, as a polish journalist called Kapuscinski says: “we exist while the people which surrounded us exists”.
