This event will choose the best dancers in the categories “Salon Tango”, which stresses the social aspect of the tango dance as a typical porteño practice, and “Stage Tango”, which aims to enrich the dance from a choreographic point of view related to the performance as a show.Throughout the Championship, the

http://www.mundialdetango.gov.ar/home09/web/en/tango/index.htmlThe Tango Festival is a multitudinous celebration of the genre in all its varieties, and the driving force of a series of activities whose influence stretches throughout the year: the encouragement to the creation of new works, the recovery and value enhancement of the genre’s heritage, the stimulus to artistic excellence, the fostering of stylistic diversity and culture consumption, and the promotion of creative industries of the fi

Friendly Planet Travel Joins Kiva to Fight Global Poverty

Posted by Peggy Goldman on August 17, 2009 at 9:46pm

All travelers have an appreciation for the natural beauty, unique culture and fascinating history of the foreign lands they explore. And it is through this exploration that they also see the flip side of those exotic lands, the hardships endured by some of the people, devastating poverty amid the cultural treasures, lack of basic resources such as clean water, electricity, proper shelter, and crippling social class distinctions that crush hopes and dreams. Inspired by Nobel Prize Laureate Mohamm

A passage to Brooklyn, NYI walk aroundseeing the crowd,watching the people across the roadson Wilson, Myrtle, Cypress, Cornelia or Knickerbocker StreetsI find Spanish as the language spoken.Numerous shops like those of the hairdressers, restaurants,and other business firmsdraw me to get in and have a try;search for something and take a choicefrom all those items seen and displayed.Like any movements in public placesthe traffic snarls the narrow roadswith all those cars and passersbykeep me wait

A Reconnoitre in VeronaNothing can dim the glow of my joyThose meaningful moments which I still recallI find certain happiness yet silence in timeWith occupying thoughts that always cross my mind.Along the stream of consciousness, there’s a hidden messageI may be attentive, yet time creeps so fast.There’s difficulty that hampers me thougha busload of burdens that wrap me till night.On and off, I turn to gaze at these thingsWholly appreciative that counts twice as much.The richness in spirit open

ASSISI: VENTRILOQUISM FOR MY GRAILA leap across the hill-top,Is an encounter with God.Concealed in the language of historythe depth of human religiosity.It rings true for me thoughthose stories of Francis of Assisi.Surely, striking the hallmarks of simplicityin quietude where I cling to reality.There is a twofold bridge in it,That is historical and biblicalThat I must continue to facethe conundrum of life in details.As my eyes follow the historical marksMy spirit keeps me wander to go beyond.I s

Wuppertal, Germany

Posted by mark alba escobar on August 1, 2009 at 7:00pm

In Wuppertal (Germany)

Gloomy, quiet and serene
This is the place where I stay.
People work up to the hilt
following the rhythm of each day.

I see and listen to some of them
with wonder and excitement.
Like any stranger in this place
I get to know where they come from.

Now I realize the richness and mobility
That makes me see and experience
In this beautiful city
Where people come and go.

As an experience of great value
I come to grips with certainty.
That the world opens its soul
to the mystery of human life a

Growing spirituality among Filipinos

Posted by mark alba escobar on August 1, 2009 at 6:50pm

Popular spirituality of the Filipinos – in various structures1. The starting pointLooking back on the past centuries of the Philippine situation, the influences of Spain and the United States of America have become clear to some extend that the self-awareness of Filipinos is still in the process of being born. Faced with the idea of the West towards colonization and acculturation, things have reached into the ways of disequilibrium. This imbalance, in turn, has induced social change, that is to

Feminism in Sacred Scriptures

Posted by mark alba escobar on August 1, 2009 at 6:47pm

Feminism in Migration – a ministry of the gospelTo-day there is much being said and written about feminism that stands on the edge of new possibilities for a common thread in our society. We live in the present time aware of many victims strewn across the pages of our history. These unfold though the ideology of patriarchy and the exploitation of the poor and oppressed.Recognising the need of feminism side by side with liberation theology, we can keep moving along the road to God’s righteousness

My experience in the Country Down Under - Australia

Posted by mark alba escobar on August 1, 2009 at 6:45pm

A passage to country down under - my experience in AustraliaHaving lived in Australia for even a short period of time has given me already a picture of the country’s present situation in terms of relationships that exist amongst different cultures. One of the parishes where I worked for three years is a good example of multiculturalism.The image of Australia as a land of opportunity for immigrants, a cosmopolitan country and a staple of popular culture has helped shape my ideas, impressions and

On our way to Egypt

Posted by mark alba escobar on August 1, 2009 at 6:43pm

On our way to Egypt – through the looking glass of timeUnencumbered by the sweltering heat, we slipped across the border of Palestine and visited Mt. Sinai. That sense of expectation and possibility of what we thought of made us realize to keep focused on our faith and keep our Christian hope alive that despite poverty and the angst of centuries ago, we were still animated by our faith that could be recalled in times past by all those who visited or lived in these places. This however was laden

Some remnants of my pilgrimage in the Holy Land

Posted by mark alba escobar on August 1, 2009 at 6:42pm

Memories in the sieve – our pilgrimage in the Holy LandAs Abraham Heschel used to stress, “the point is not that we do not know, rather that God does know. What matters is not our feeling close to God but our certainty and conviction of his being close to us. That was the conviction that radiated some kind of assurance as we reflected on what it means to walk through the footsteps of Christ. As we coped with our rope-line schedule for each day, we were taken aback to remember with gratitude what

Across the border in Mexico

Posted by mark alba escobar on August 1, 2009 at 6:40pm

Across the border of MexicoI did a mission work at Casa del Migrante in the border of Ciudad Juárez, México. It is where a lot of Mexicans, Salvadorians, Guatemalans, Hondurans, and Peruvians cross into the U.S. without fear and discover later that they cannot do so without any necessary documents.There is a search fro meaning that explores the struggles and difficulties the migrant faces including the relationship between home and away. Of the many stories I’ve heard, their inner quest for some
