WE CALLED IT "L'AURORA" (DAWN) BECAUSE BY ITS VERY NAME WE
WANTED TO CONVEY THE HOPES
AND DREAMS WE CHERISH WITH OUR WORK, A POSSIBILITY TO SEE THE DAWNING OF A
BRIGHTER DAY
AND TO LOOK TO TOMORROW WITH HOPE AND JOY.
WE CHOSE AFRICA BECAUSE IT IS HERE IN THIS GREAT CONTINENT, WITH ITS HUGE
FORESTS, BOUNDLESS HORIZONS AND IMMENSE RICHES THAT POVERTY AND SUFFERANCE IS GREATER, AND GREATER IS THE
NEED FOR HELP.
WE TOOK THE FIRST CONTAINERS, EQUIPPED A HOSPITAL AND MEDICAL CENTRES AND WILL
CONTINUE TO DO SO, FOR INSTANCE WITH OUR “I BAOBAB" PROGRAMME, BUT WE WANT TO ADDRESS MORE AMBITIOUS
PROJECTS, TO HELP THE PEOPLE REGAIN A LOST DIGNITY AND AFFORD THEM A MORE SERENE FUTURE.
THUS THE "IL SEME DELLA VITA” PROJECT WAS BORN, WITH THE INTENT OF
HELPING SMALL VILLAGES
TO BE SELF-SUFFICIENT IN FOOD.
OUR AGRONOMISTS HAVE ANALYZED THE TERRAIN, STUDIED THE MOST APPROPRIATE
CULTIVATIONS, CONVINCED
VILLAGE AUTHORITIES AND A FEW LOCAL AGRARIAN INSTITUTES TO JOIN THE PROJECT
DEVELOPING
NEW SUSTAINABLE CULTIVATIONS.
IN AFRICA, IT IS THE WOMEN WHO HAVE THE JOB OF LOOKING AFTER THE HOUSE AND THE
CHILDREN, WHO BEAR THE WEIGHT OF A PRECARIOUS EXISTENCE AND WHO PAY THE HIGHEST PRICE, TO GIVE THEM AT LEAST
AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEAD AN EASIER LIFE, WE STARTED A PROJECT IN SENEGAL AND IN THE IVORY COAST TO
INCENTIVIZE COOPS WHICH THROUGH COURSES IN FARMING, GROWING VEGETABLES USED FOR NUTRITION AND PLANTS
TO PRODUCE RENEWABLE ENERGY OF USE TO THE VILLAGES, TAKING PALM OIL FROM TREES ALREADY GROWING IN THE AREA
USING ECOLOGIC-SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT SYSTEMS AND ORGANIZING SALE OF PRODUCTS LOCALLY OFFER
THE MEANS FOR AN ECONOMIC EMANCIPATION.
WE BEGAN TO COOPERATE WITH OTHER ASSOCIATIONS, SPECIFICALLY WITH THE PS 76
ASSOCIATION, PROMOTRICE DI BELLE ARTI DELLA LIGURIA, MEDICI IN AFRICA ASSOCIATION (DOCTORS
IN AFRICA), AES ASSOCIATION, VOLUNTEERS ASSOCIATION, AND OTHERS....
WE WOULD ANYHOW ASK THE HELP AND PARTICIPATION OF ALL, BECAUSE AFRICA, WITH ITS
NEEDS AS IMMENSE AS ITS HORIZONS, FILLS US WITH CONCERN, NEEDS ARE TOO MANY AND RESOURCES AT HAND
TOO FEW, BUT WE ARE SURE THAT OVER AND ABOVE WHATEVER WE DO OR MAY DO, IT IS OUR FRIENDSHIP THAT WILL
COUNT FOR OUR BENEFICIARIES OUR SHARING, TO CONTINUE ALONG THE PATH HAND IN HAND ... TOWARDS THE AURORA, OR DAWNING OF A FREE AND JOYFUL DAY.
