To meet people and to share something with them
The answer is, there are no other ends. That’s it.
That is what is so special about this project. We do not assume meeting with people to be merely a straightforward and inevitable process that sets the stage for grander actions, such as eradicating poverty and establishing human rights.
Meeting people and sharing things with them, be it a simple conversation, a game of football, playing music together, dancing, painting, discussing or whatever, is, we are slowly coming to see, the beginning and the end. Of course, even we are not naive and idealistic enough to think that changing the world is quite as simple as that. But increasingly we are being compelled to see that the stuggles such as changing social structures and policies, which seemingly go beyond seeing the human being in everyone, be they a politician or a person living in poverty, are really, essentially, only details.
For our journey that began on the 2nd of June continues to prove to us that if do not better learn how to be with each other and share things together, then all of our hopes and dreams about creating a more equal, more just, more free society, will dissipate through our fingers and away into the night air.
Don’t forget that the most important for us is to exchange and share what we are experiencing. So don’t hesitate to send us an email with your comments, questions and suggestions at caravanes2@atd-quartmonde.org
Thanks. We hope to hear from you soon !
