past Did not you sometimes read or hear a phrase and say: recórcholis! (Well, I really do not use that word) how not happened to me?
I use precisely the title of this post is not my responsibility, although I would have liked and out. Me said this morning a beloved former student and now admired colleague following a comment I made about his work.
And it's the job I want to write today. I do not know if you remember, or ever told you so, or if browsing through my profile (bah! Whatever) that I am a journalist and was for some time teacher of future journalists. As life is full of causalities (do not believe in coincidences) yesterday I had the great pleasure of sitting down for coffee with two of my most prized pupils. We talked about plans and projects, and oh surprise, surprise, we have similar dreams and visions of the future that might hang as a triptych in the living room.
Well, I'm not going to write about all the "coincidences" or "coincidences" that occurred in this meeting (and not for lack of desire, it's because I still bristle hairs), but something that I had lost and yesterday I had the opportunity to discover: the work being done by the aforementioned former student, who certainly has a name: Erwin García.
Erwin began more than a year and a half to shape an idea that went beyond journalistic journalism. cases began to seek worthy to be highlighted by special by inspiring, by copies, humans, extraordinary, and beautiful. He asked anyone who knew him through that if a special case to inform him to go after him, walked, learned, fumbled, he worked hard with his team because the idea I had in mind, or yes, would be a reality .
"For good cause" was his project. In his own words on the page program Facebook : "... this program grew obeying a deep respect for the human being, with a clear mission to educate and guide, to motivate the rescue of the values \u200b\u200band key principles of Venezuelans, and above all the need to provide a contribution to improving society in which we live. week after week will bring a half hour of hope and optimism, highlighting inspiring stories that will inspire our users to share in a renewed society, which exists in each and every one of the men and women contribute small actions to change the life of a family member, friend, neighbor, or nearest neighbor or distant " .
Although the program began airing in January this year I had not had the pleasure of seeing a chapter because for some time now, turn on the TV is no longer reflex action used to be (in another post I will talk about my renewed appreciation for silence and solitude).
But see Erwin again (and Alexis, of course, but in another post I'll talk about it, sure) and hear me talk about his program was curious. Erwin sent me their favorite chapters of "For a good cause." Not only saw their favorites but I went to the channel for a good cause Youtube to enjoy a bit more.
I will not fall in sweetened descriptions of the program. I'll just say to do each of those deliveries made me feel an immense pride in having had this extraordinary human being sitting across from me in a classroom and what I am most proud is that it has exceeded by far every one of his teachers.
I invite you to visit the videos for "For a good cause." They touch the heart and leave feeling that we can still rely on human beings and there is still much to give and take of humanity
Today, when I saw their programs on the computer, was a lump in his throat. I wrote a message saying it was not fair to make me mourn in this way. He replied: "is journalism for the soul. For us who believe and dream awake. "
I stole the phrase to title this post. I will not write anything else because I will then release water through their eyes. I can only say that Erwin is one of those bricks that stand out in my life in construction.
