In a magical place full of charm.
And of Love for our Neighbors
We see the life of some kind and amiable senior citizens through the eyes of the pets that they pamper. Life is beautiful, even if there are difficulties, and Love for Our Neighbors is a necessary ingredient for our spiritual development. To help others in Need.
Photos : Sras Jesusita and Anita make cookies and pastry,
they bake cakes for brides, first communions, birthday parties, etc...
But they rest, taking care of the dogs. Here they feed the bitch
"Duquesa".
Photos above and left :
There are many places to feed the free birds. Many of our Old Folks also
have their cannaries and other birds... ( in cages ).
Homes of San Carlos
Dulazar Provides housing for the Elderly as a loan ( no rent ) :
The homes of San Carlos were built as the renovation of an old building,
1500 square meters, 24 apartaments with green zones, big comunitary rooms
and a gimnasium.
Caring for parents, grandparents, granduncles
42 persons live now here, they have found company, solidarity and a roof.
Some of their relatives are young and this increases the sense of integration
to life and the possibilities of mutual help. The young people work inside and
outside, they get the prescriptions for the elderly, they help, go with their
old relatives to the physician, and most important, they generate income for
the family.
Each family is autonomous and responsible for its own apartment and food.
This is not a refuge or a prison with bars, everybody has his own budget,
his own meals and schedules, and gets out whenever he or she wants.
There is total independence for each human being for a normal life.
With the advantage of having friends and common projects, nobody is forced
to participate in parties, games, activities or works. We have observed that
these families are very enthusiastic about these social activities and nobody
stays at home, except the sick.
This system of not depending on an institution for food and meals,
schedules, clothes, laundry, etc, helps people to stay young and sprightful,
our eldest citizens are vital, they keep their mental and physical health without
being monitored like prisoners. However there is strong solidarity with the
neighbors in case of sickness, chirurgy, or emergencies.
If someones has a project of life, then every day new hopes are born,
that means a young spirit, and a feeling of being useful and a participant of
life. This place is not to wait for Death but to long for Life.
Medical treatment and medicines
Dulazar affiliates its citizens to medical emergency services, this is not
perfect, big operations are not covered, nor can we pay costly medicines,
because of lack of budget,
But we do the best we can within our limitations.
We build housing in other towns and there sell homes to young people, helping
them in many respects, and with affordable prices and loans. But we are
obssesed with the miracles that a little help can work on the Elderly.
Here we see the bitch 'Duquesa', she is very playful and jumpy, it is very
difficult to take a photograph of a dog that is never quiet.
When dog 'Pistacho' died there was great sorrow, since this was the favorite
pet for all Old Ladies here, some Senior Ladies were unable to get up from
bed from the affliction that this sad event produced.
Too much crying and weeping. Pistacho was a similar dog and from the same
family as Duquesa.
We have to keep a guard in order to prevent our dogs from fighting and biting
each other. They start playing and end up being hurt.
Our Senior Citizens long for more and better opportunities of employment.
They dream that private entrepreneurs send more 'maquila' work
( that is making clothes, dolls, food, etc... ). It's wonderful when they
can work at home, since their age can limit their mobility.
Dreams can become real. Dreams are not only for the Young.
If we are united, solidarity gives sense to our existence.
