Et le tricycle ...notre velo Francais !!!quand il fait trop chaud pour pédaler !!
Le tricycle (sorte de side-car philippin)
Un vrai danger public... Pas tant pour ceux qui sont dedans mais pour ceux qui sont derriere en voiture! Le tricycle, comme le jeepney s'arrête quand on lui demande. Vous pouvez imaginer la scene: le type dit "stop", le chauffeur s'arrête d'un coup en plein milieu de la route et si la voiture derrière n'a pas gardé ses distances, ca fait boum... Mais bon les Philippins le savent et les accidents sont rares... Ce transport s'utilise en général sur de courtes distances, il est toujours bien chargé (heureusement que les philippins sont petits). Ca ne marcherait pas chez nous!
Un dernier p'tit tour en Jeepneys ou tricycle...nos moyens de transport de l'année !!
Lorsque les troupes américaines commencent à quitter l'archipel philippin, à la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, des centaines de jeeps en surplus sont données ou vendues à des Philippins. Les autochtones modifient alors ces jeeps pour permettre le transport de plusieurs passagers. Ils ajoutent des toits en métal pour l'ombre et décorent les véhicules avec des couleurs vives et des ornements de chrome.
Les jeepneys se développent rapidement afin de rétablir le réseau de transport en commun d'une manière peu coûteuse, car celui-ci avait été détruit pendant la guerre. Par la suite, devant un usage de plus en plus fréquent de ces véhicules, le gouvernement philippin décide de réglementer leur usage. Les conducteurs doivent avoir un permis de conduire spécial, des itinéraires fixés et des tarifs fixes.
Bien qu'à l'origine les jeepneys étaient de simple jeeps militaires reconditionnées pour le transport en commun, les jeepneys modernes sont produits de manière locale par des usines aux Philippines.
JUNE 5 ...Conclusion ...
We want to offer the last stone for Chiara;
the ideal she offers us is a real ‘way’for our life,personal and for the family.
Not always easy,sometimes ...(no many times...!!)with difficulties ,the necassity to start again ,to choose again how we want to live,which education we want to give to our children ,how to continue as couple...
We discover also during this year ,more about all the realisations in the Focolari movment.(social center,support at distance,micro credit and economy of communion,..)
Marielle:I have a little thing to share with you:
Sometimes in France ,with new families ‘ group ,we use to organise a small meeting like that :we saw a video (most of the time very long ,old ,and after we discuss...). I was able to have a not so well opinion of video of Chiara ,even if it’s Chiara speaking I’m sorry!!
But we realize here the modernity of the project of Chiara...in different realisations ,through the life in the Citadelle ..and through all the messages,the talk, the video...we could see during meetings..as Mary-Frances says:it’s so explosive and modern ... not necassary to be long !!...Congratulations for all the work with the translation,video...we hope to use more in our place in the future
We didn’t have at home a picture of her ;I don’t know why ,but I always thought it was like put a symbol ,someone as an icone ,but not alive !!!!
And now she passed away, I would want to have a picture of her at home
(maybe not this one ...a litle bit too big !!) ,as someone of the family,Chiara alive in our way.
THANKS for all ...each of you.
we hope Casa Armonia in the futur will welcome other families,from Italy,US...or Philipine.It’s realistic ...even if it’s in the beginning it’s just a dream ...
just one day you ask yourself ‘why not ???’
And Ray we keep preciously your message:
TO BE and not just TO DO.
Concerning the physiotherapy,Marielle
PT in Bukas Palad :
It’s not necassary to talk a lot ...the pictures talk by themselves.
I was very happy to open a little door in BP and Pag aSA to welcome the persons who need physiotherapy,especially children and mothers.
I keep in my mind the joy of this mother who for the first time pushes the wheelchair with her girl siting down inside going back home.
I keep in minds the pride to this mother when i tell her ‘the 1st PT at home ‘It’s the mother’
I remember the hope of this father when he saw his boy standing-up and trying a few steps with a walker.Of course it’s very difficult and the way is long;
I trust especially Richele and Marife,new graduates PT to continue and to keep one’s ears open for these special children.
Mot de Victor
One year in the Philippines ...
The fisrt day in the school, I was nervous ;because i didn’t know how
was school in the philippines.it’s very different from the school in france!here, you wear uniformes, you don’t have sport,you have school the wenesday and you speak filipino.so,the first day of the school ,i was nervous. I went to the office and i asked ,where is my classroom.
later, when i was in my classroom, i just listened to the classroom.
more and more i understand english.After two days i started to work, after two weeks, i had one friend and after two months, i almost speaked english.but every morning i was tired because, i wok up at 5:30 and in france i wok up at 7:30.
But I have one souvenir,In the first week of the school one of my classmate asked me “do you want to be my friend “? ...and I answered loran because I didn’t yet speaked well english and I thought that he was asking me the name of my father ...
