See the change

When we talk or even think about religión, the first thing that come to our head in most of the time, is a boring guy praying. In Ecuador, stadistics revel that most of the people´s religion is catholic. But a big part of them are against the church, they don´t believe in it because of what the story have taught us about it. Saying that in the feudalism time the religion was used to controled people and get a lot of money to themselves. And even it was true, we have to remember that the church is conformed by human people that had their mistakes.

All those things people is not going to forget easily, But the catholic religion it´s not only mistakes, people don´t know the new aspects and works of the church. For example, here in Quito, some chuches are working together to help poor people giving meal to them, taking care of children, we don´t know those wonderfull programs that help young poor people that sufers of cancer, or the other that helps single mothers to don´t abort, and provided them with food, a place to live an a job. all of this is to teach all the people how to get over from troubles.

The religion doesn´t want to tell us what to do, only teach us things about how to live our lifes helping the others, don´t be selfish, love us and the others and help other people, making us to their problems.
This for me it has beena way of living with God and be happy.

Me in few words

My name is Fernanda Jara Cordero, I am 19 years old, 1.54 high, but I´m sure I have to keep growing in a lot of aspects: personal, in my career and spiritual.
I am studing social comunication, to get a degree on journalis and then in organizacional comunication. I spent two months of my vacation working at a newspaper. I learned a lot, it was a great experience because it was the first time I have to do real invetigations, that not only were going to be read in my university, it was the first time I have the responsability of writing real, interesting news. I learnd by force to investigate and to deal with all kind of people, because in this carreer all you write is critisied because of good or bad, or because you said something that a group of persons don´t want to hear. One time, I have to do a research of one important public institution, and I discovered that there was a lot of coruption in there, people have very high salaries because of doing nothing they spend money of the institution for themselves, so I started investigatng, it was really exciting, I have to manage to get all the documents to proove that, and I have to talk with the authorities to know more about it. Then, like a week later my article was published, one hour later, people of that institution called me and said bad things, they also called my boss asking them to fired me, luckily, I get a lot of documents to proove the thrut by my work, so I didn´t have problems. All of this kind of experiences helped me to decided what I want in my profesional life.
Another important aspect, is that I enjoy working whit people, I worked also in two volunteer programs, the one is giving meal and cooking for poor people, most of them childs. The other is my favorite one, is working with wemen that want to abort or have aborted before, to go over it, we helped them sicologicaly, with doctors, food, and a place to life, it is really wonderfull to help other people, the best part is when a baby born, its amazing, there are no words to describe it. So, in my profesional life I want to mix all that stuff, I also like political aspects, thats why I choose journalis as a career and a way of living, because in the news paper I can get people know that kind of things.
