Reading reality

Our brother Alfredo Mires Ortiz has been presenting - during this time of confinement - on various platforms to which he has been invited.

For almost 50 years now, a proposal has been brewing in the network, from the communities and for the communities, publishing their own books, respecting and revaluing ancient wisdom, and Alfredo humbly tells us: “We are fighting tirelessly so that a fair society is possible”, although 50 years is little because the process is hard. And he also tells us that dignity and respect have nothing to do with money, power or titles:

- I wish we were able to do an examination of national conscience.

- Why the name of the platform “home learning”? Does it mean that we did not learn at home before?

- What are we teaching and what are we learning?

- What kind of human am I going to contribute to forming today?

- Reading and writing are indispensable conditions for the formation of human beings.

- The moral reserve of our countries is surely in those who never went to school.

- Teachers must admit that there is a problem and recognize its characteristics.

Thank you, Alfredo, for sharing your thoughts with us.
