I always admire the desire of the students to learn, their
enthusiasm, in these places where education is never so ob-
vious. In the afternoon we moved to the beach: fishermen,
children, boats returning from hours spent at sea. Smell of
fish, girls in the sea dressed, garbage that is always a big
problem. Despite myself, I am not surprised anymore. I
walk along the shore and watch.
At sunset I notice a large crowd, I approach and I find
myself surrounded by an incredibly large network, with
dozens of people intent on pulling it out of the sea, whole
families ready to scrape together as much fish as possible.
And children who from an early age behave exactly like
adults. The following day we leave early in the morning:
we want to reach our village as soon as possible. We are
now in Fissel. As soon as I close the door I find myself sur-
rounded by dozens and dozens of happy children, aware
that for the next few days I would have been their favorite
pastime. No school, it’s Saturday even in this piece of the
world where electricity is only found in the hospital. Some
ladies invited us to a wedding; the particularity of the ce-
remony? We do not know the start and end times, they
only say that in the next two days there will be dances with
drums and celebrations!
The following days passed in total carelessness. Every
time I face a new journey, I come back enriched, changed,
I remember that in this life I want to try to be concretely
an input of change, to show how the world is a wonder-
ful place and how much space there is to live all in serene
and complete harmony . I’m a dreamer, it’s true; but since
I started living by feeding on dreams my life has totally
changed. Do I have less material things? Definitely. I’m
happy? Finally I am.

tanto un input perché ognuno sarà sempre padrone
del proprio. Mettere a disposizione di chiunque vo-
glia vedere con i propri occhi quanto il mondo sia un
luogo meraviglioso e quanto spazio ci sia per vivere
tutti in serena e completa armonia. Sono un sogna-
tore, è vero; ma da quando ho iniziato a vivere nu-
trendomi di sogni la mia vita è totalmente cambiata.
Ho meno cose materiali? Sicuramente. Sono felice?
Finalmente sì.
