GUAINIA ¿Pon manó, apewe?

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, Amen. Hail, O Mary, highly favored one, the Lord is with you, blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, requests now for us the sinners and in the hour of our death, amen. BACK | COVER | INDEX | SPANISH ORIGINAL | CONTINUE

The net
In what concerns to my practice, I supported the presidential program of the Social Solidarity net⁶. My work consisted in coordinating the departmental table of solidarity and the sector tables of health, education, housing and employment. I also made surveillance to the projects of the following programs:
Integral improvement of urban housing and its environment

To live better (rural housing)

Generation of urban employment program (PGE)

Generation of rural employment program (rural PGE)

At the arriving moment, the departmento planning secretary carried out these activities, by governor's responsibility. According to the operative regulation of the net, the members of the collegiate management body (the governor, the mayors of the municipalities, representatives from the community, the NGOs, the executing entities, the churches and other civil organizations) they were those in charge of the administration of each program. However, as all those people had the whole time almost saturated with activities, the normal thing was that it was delegated in an institution that had a general vision of the departamento's problems. In most country's departments it corresponded to the PNR^e11 delegation, but in the Guainía it didn't exist. Only until March 95 the delegate's appointment was official, and it corresponded us, to my Option partner and me, to collaborate with the organization of the new delegation and to work like secretary and messenger, while the corresponding ones were named.
Anyway, the work of the net is an interdisciplinary work, in which all the state institutions intervene, so much the departmental and municipal secretaries as the decentralized institutes (as the ICBF, the Agrarian Box, etc.^e12); with all things related to them. In each sector table each institution technicians sat down with representatives of the community (or the same community), to make decisions about the resources used in some programs and/or which communities or people were benefited. For example, in the housing sector table they met one representative of each neighborhood of the municipality, representatives of the communities of the rivers, one representative of the Mayor's office, one of the departmental planning secretary and at least one of the Solidarity net. Representatives of the public infrastructure secretary were present in some occasions, the PNR, the Caja Agraria and the INURBE. Among all them they decided which neighborhood has more poverty concentration in Inírida's urban helmet and which departmental micro-region has more unsatisfied basic needs. None could have been cover by previous governments' rural housing programs.
The resources that would feed the programs came from the co financing funds, some of them: Solidarity and Social emergency Fund (FOSES), Integrated Rural Development Fund (DRI), Infrastructure vial (FIV), Social Infrastructure Fund (FIS), Urban Infrastructure Fund (FIU) and Financial Territorial Development Fund (FINDETER), besides the institutes of Urban reform (INURBE) and Family Welfare (ICBF) and the education and health departmental and municipal secretaries.

In this text the initial letters of the institutions are all in low letter. It is not an orthographical error; I made it on purpose. I have known them so impersonal and so impersonalising that I believe that to treat them like a personal name is not the most appropriate thing. They don't deserve the honor of treating them like personal names.

National Rehabilitation Plan. It was the Virgilio Barco's presidential administration main social plan and searched the reintegration of demobilized guerrilla members. The net pretended to replace it and succeed only in limited areas.

Caja Agraria ("Agrarian Box") was the only national rural bank until 1999. It was the only financial institution available in the countryside but went into bankruptcy due to corruption and bad administration. The short names of the funds and institutions are expanded in this page last paragraph.
