To the people of Givology,
Hello! I wanted to tell you to carry on ahead, because you are all doing a very good job: to help those in need and I congratulate you for that.
Currently, I am 16 years old, and I view society like an adult. In Paraguay, there is percentage of unemployment, injustice, and corruption. Many young people do not take their lives seriously, and they go down a bad path, they smoke, drink alcohol, and go as far as taking drugs, aware that they are heading down a bad road. Why would they do that? Maybe it is because their parents leave them to go work in another country, in search of a better future, or perhaps because, living with their parents, the latter only ignore them and don’t give them the attention, affection, and love that they deserve, and they look for these things through other roads, exposed to so many dangers.
Here, at the Instituto Reinaldo Macchi, we are being taught to fight these problems, beginning in our own city, which is Tobati, and little by little, we are climbing the mountain until we succeed in making a change to the future, a positive change.
Now there is a great deal of pollution, due to the ignorance of man, and then, what future will we be giving our children? One that is not so pleasant.
The practice of values, like honesty, cooperation, and solidarity, is going to carry us down better paths. It doesn’t matter if your neighbor doesn’t practice them, begin practicing for them and give them a good example to follow.
It does nothing productive to talk and talk about these topics, if in the end they are only words, we must put them into practice.
Sincerely,
Ever

One of our translation associates, Lauren, wrote an individual letter to Ever and received the following reply:

Dear Lauren,
Hi! How are you? I am happy because I am about to finish classes for this year.
You know, since I was little music has interested me, and that is why at nine years old I learned to play the guitar, and I like it. Music is a way of expressing our feelings and that is good.
When I was in eighth grade, I discovered a group that would change my way of thinking and looking at things. I discovered Simple Plan through one of their songs: “Welcome to My Life,” and I liked its style and the lyrics. Then, I was discovering other songs. When I started JR9, (a level of CCP), I have an English teacher named Cecilia, and she showed me a Simple Plan CD, and that was how I listened to some of their other songs, like “Perfect”, “Shut Up”, and now I also discovered “Addicted”, “Perfect World,” “I’m Just a Kid,” and others.
I have seen that, in life, we take different paths. I, for example, when I was in school, had my friends, they were very good, now, some have entered the world of alcoholism, others smoke. They are going down a bad path. One friend got pregnant at age fifteen. Can you imagine that? However some, like myself, are going down a good path, because they are interested in their future and because of their family.
Oh! I am about to fulfill one of my dreams, going to the United States, and I will leave in December, and I am excited.
Never doubt that there is always a solution to any problem, never be defeated, by not doing so one had already lost.
Life isn’t easy, but you have to try to live a happy life, because happiness is important.
Sincerely,
Ever
