Crescer e Poder Ser - The Dhaka Project

The Dhaka Project

O exemplo sóbrio, sereno, de Maria do Céu Conceição, capaz de envolver tudo e todos, mover obstáculos e espalhar compaixão, compreenção, sabedoria.

Há oportunidade de participar, com o apadrinhamento de alguém que realmente precisa. Sim sei, isto passa-se tudo do outro lado do mundo, não é no meu "quintal" e por cá, estaremos perto de estar tão necessitados, mas iniciativas destas, que atingem o ser humano em qualquer ponto do nosso planeta, são um exemplo daquilo que poderemos fazer por cá.

Por outro lado, notar que as boas práticas e os bons exemplos são seguidos, faz-nos acreditar que, a semente do exemplo de Muhammad Yunus e o Grameen Bank que criou, se estão já a espalhar. O Dhaka Project segue-lhe agora o exemplo, tímido ainda por falta de disponibilidade mas, a acreditar que esta é a via, este é o caminho, esta é uma das soluções.

Daqui, a minha homenagem, apreço e carinho por este projecto e pela sua mentora, essa Portuguesa do Mundo.
