Post 8: Animals

I love the dog, because it is the best friend, I read your emotion, and when I stanted the day, it is in my room and see me. I know what time is it, because it coming at seven o'clock.

I don't like see the animals in a zoo, it is not natural, it is so violent. I don't understand why continue today this  space for the animals. I disagree keep the animals in a jail, a little space, all your life. I don't like visit the zoo.

when I was a Childhood, I know a little dog (pekines), it lived next my house, . When I return by school, it coming me and  it scared me.

If I was an animal, I would be a bird, because it free, they sings in the morning, They are many colors and forms.

POST 6: FOOD

For my, the food is very important, because I am coeliac, the gluten-free recipes it is necessary found. If I didn’t eat gluten-free plates, I would be so thin. In this case, it is so important have a balanced diet, and I look for learning new recipes, especially about bread.

In the last time, I like eat a vegetarian food, I eat White meat, but little. It very frequent for coeliac become vegetarians, because our food it is so natural.  Usually, I eat lot of rice and potatoes, every day I need eat fruit and vegetables.

I need prepare my food with time, because, they are many gluten in the many food;  I avoid the food preservatives, I doubt, I’m not sure. I born with gluten  intolerance,  and when I was a child, I very thin, because, I don’t know I was coeliac.  Many years later I went to the doctor, and I started my diet. I like eat, especially when I happy, I like the  chocolate, ice cream, the fruit with  yogurt and cake.

For my the food it is very important, I feel so good cooking for me and my friend. My firs dish was “carbonada”, it is the typical Chilean food. I like so much the fish and vegetables, because  I feel good when I eat, but and I hate the red meat, I feel  my stomach heavy.

I like the Japanese food too, I prefer sushi, and I try make it, but the rice for made sushi it is complicate for me.

Well, for ending, if I die  tomorrow, my last meal would be “ toast with butter”, because,  I like it smell, it sound when I put  the butter in the toast, I miss the taste.

POST 5: MY FUTURE JOB / MY DREAM JOB

I would like work part time in the hospital, with patients. I like the psychotherapy. But I think in public health centers, it is difficult to do psychotherapy. I hope to locate an place, just in case, I will work  doing private psychotherapy.

I can not imagine only working in one place. I need the diversity in the work. I would like work in sexual education part time, in school and college. In the school we working with all class, and the college, I can do classes and give information table. I work the sexual education for many years, I started fifteen years ago, and my firs topic was HIV; I need to read about gender and gynecological health. Today, in Chili, they are not sexual education in the school, but we are close.

I think to be a better therapist, is always necessary to study, read, and patients have always. Studies and practice with supervision. That is the key.

I feel I´m lucky, because always a possibility for me it is open. I would like to create something new, group workshops. 

POST 4: MY BEST PLACE

My favorite places in Santiago is Plaza Ñuñoa. Plaza Ñuñoa is a traditional neighbourhood in Santiago, located in the street Irarrazaval whith street Brown Sur. 

They are many bars and restaurant, the theater Universidad Católica and the Pantheon the Chilean bands “La Batuta”. All the year have many activities, especially in the summer. There is a restaurant Peruano over the road at the theater. When start “Teatro a mil” I´ll see some foreign show.  

I like because this place is close at home, and I can ride a bike, anyway, the public transport  is good. If you look closely, this place is not only for young people, you can also go with your family, and sit in the square. This place is safer than Barrio Bellavista; If the weather is good, this place is  great to be outside. In the summer, they are many peoples talking and having a good time, but, the greater difficult is park your car. I recommend walking o cycling.

It´s not expensive, especially a place called “Las Lanzas”. I you go, I hope you like. 

POST 3: THE BEST HOLIDAYS/CONCERT I'VE BEEN TO.

My best holiday was a 2002 in Temuco. In this place live my brother with your wife Claudia and my two nephews, Jorge and Gabriel. I don´t saw them in ten years ago. We went Lake Lican Ray with them and my parent for one day. Swimming in the lake all the time, we rested only for eat.

This year was the first holiday in Chile, for my all was new, I´ve been there (Temuco and Ercilla) for one month; I spent many time spoke with neighboring the my mother, because they knew me when I a little child.

I always go at the “feria” because I like cook many recipes, I bought a machine for make spaghetti and lasagna; I got happy when I found cheese craft. I was impressed I saw the woman in the “carreta con bueyes” and she called by phone. That was so funny.

In Temuco, we go to the restaurant, and my nephews did not want to eat all the food.

Today, my nephew Gabriel told me: “aunt Antonieta, I remember that moment, and they are many photos in my house”.

POST 2: READING BOOOKS AND MAGAZINES.

My first book I read was the story of some children going to first time to the beach, they played in the sand and spoke of the sea smell.  Can not remember the title, but I remember the drawing of children in the sand. At school he was a professor of Castellano, with big glasses, and one day in class said, "When we read, we are talking in a way with the author", that left me thinking, and from that moment, I was interested to read, I was twelve years old.

Since then, I don’t remember how many books I read, but it is always an adventure. I like books about history, philosophy, gender and recipes. Now I'm trying to read an English book, a friend who lives in USA, sent me a book of Martin Luther King JR. "I Have a Dream. Writings and speeches. "

While I’m reading slowly, his speeches are so beautiful, he had a thought that many people interested. I love reading this book, for my read is a good company. I recommend you read cookbooks; one day buy one of algae, and it was a discovery for me, but also learn to eat more rich with very few ingredients.

Poste 1: My autobiography

Hello, I´m Antonieta. I was born in Traigüén, it is a small town twenty kilometers Temucho. I have a dog, calleg "Cachu", I have a sister and brather. I live whith my parents, because they are old.

I´d like to tell you something:
I did not like school, because they had many ruls. My grades were not good and I just wanted go, I was losing time, I was not here. But, when I enters college, any change. 

For my it´s a nice place to learn, but, sametimes I get lost.
This not change inmediately, was slowly. Learning is good, with time to think and stop, because you have also lost. It good to keep the interesed for reading, and the beauty of the University of Chile, is having much interesting books.

I hear a lot of classical music, and I enjoy cooking.

More money for small farmers.

When shopping for food, ever more consumers in rich nations pay attention not only to prices, appearance an flavour. They also consider environmental and social aspects. Therefore, certifications of organic production fair-trade practices or regional origin often lead to a premium in the marketplace and can benefit small-scale farmers. Two recent research papers from the Kiel Institute for the Wold Economy Shed Light on the matter. They deal with pineapple growers in Ghana and coffee producers in Ethiopia.

Researchers in Kiel have analysed the prices of Ethiopian coffee on export  markets to see whether the initiative had an impact. Higher export prices are the first step towards securing higher incomes for producers. The data provided by the Ethiopian Customs Authority on amounts, prices, origin, certification status and quality of all coffee exports  from 2004 to 2009 showed that the prices of the registered brands increased by around 10% more than those of other coffee varieties (see chart). The increase, moreover, was eflected in higher producer prices in the three regions concerned. The strategy worked out.

These examples from Ghana and Ethiopia show that strategies that build on sonsumer trends in rich nations make sense. They can help to boost the incomes of rural people and protect their natural environment.
