ECHOES of SILENCE

 

SPECIAL PRESENTATION

SOMETHING HOPEFUL WITHIN THE 'ENCIRCLING GLOOM':

 

"We Are More Beautiful Than We Are Told"*

 

Flooded Britain – The 'Third World’ to the Rescue?

 

Nicaragua is building a new social/economic order balancing the individual with the collective, founded on justice, cooperation and care for the Earth. Thus, despite the radical impoverishment imposed by centuries of exploitation,

it is Latin America’s safest country

and copes magnificently with (un)natural disasters.

 

Can the'Me First World' learn from Nicaragua’s example? Will we?"   

 

(*Eduardo Galeano, Uruguay)
