Originales

El año pasado la Directora de nuestro colegio y la Ha. Gitti Linhart nos informaron sobre el partenariado que existe entre los colegios de Africa y Europa.

Ellas habían asistido al encuentro regional de Director@s de Colegios del Sagrado Corazón que tuvo lugar en Placeres, España.  Estamos hermanados con la escuela Saint Bernadette, Nakibizzi, Uganda. La Ha. Annet Kyalimpa rscj es la directora.

Para nosotr@s, encontrar como establecer relaciones mutuas entre las dos escuelas ha sido un desafío. Yo, maestra de la clase de primaria 4b deseaba que nuestra ayuda fuese seria y eficaz. Después de conversar con mi clase, decidimos crear un calendario diseñado por los alumnos. Cada mes dos de ell@s se encargarían del diseño y de la creación de una página. Obras de artistas famosos sirvieron como base para los dibujos. Los alumn@s interpretaron y volvieron a diseñar los cuadros. Además,  una poesía escrita por algunos de ell@s se añadió al dibujo.

El calendario estuvo listo dos semanas antes de Navidad y los padres pudieron comprarlo para hacer un buen regalo de Navidad.

La Ha. Gitti tuvo una gran sorpresa cuando nuestra clase la invitó a venir a vernos. Su sorpresa fue aun mayor cuando le entregamos un cheque de $600 para la escuela Saint Bernadette.

Disfrutamos mucho de este proyecto, sobretodo porque encontramos una manera creativa de apoyar la red internacional de colegios del Sagrado Corazón, en nuestro caso, de manera especial en Uganda.

Last year we were informed about the new system of partnering schools between Africa and Europe by Angela Weizerl, our Headmistress, and Sr. Gitti Linhardt, both of whom had attended the regional meeting of Directors of Sacred Heart Schools in Placeres, Spain.  We have as a partner St. Bernadette's Primary School, Nakibizzi, Uganda. Sr. Annet Kyalimpa rscj is the headmistress.

This is a big challenge for all of us as we want to develop reciprocal relationships between our schools. I, the teacher of 4b primary wanted to help in a serious and effective way. After talking to my class we decided to create a calendar which would be designed by the children of my class. Each of the pages, every month, was to be created and arranged by two children. Paintings by great and famous artists served as the basis. The children were then able to interpret and redesign the paintings by themselves. A little poem for each month was written by children and added to the pictures.

Two weeks before Christmas the calendar was finished and the parents were able to purchase the calendar as an ideal Christmas present.

Sr. Gitti was very surprised when the class invited her to come. She was even more surprised when she was presented with $600 in the form of a Christmas check for St. Bernardette's school in Uganda.

We all enjoyed the project very much. It has been rewarding to become creative in our support for the international network of Sacred Heart Schools, for us, especially, for Uganda.

Originaux

L'an dernier, nous avons appris qu'il existait un partenariat entre écoles d'Afrique et d'Europe; l'information nous était donnée par Angela Weizert, notre directrice, et Sóur Gitti Linhart, qui avaient toutes deux participé à la rencontre régionale des directeurs et directrices des écoles du Sacré-Cóur à Placeres en Espagne. Notre école est devenue partenaire de l'école primaire Sainte Bernadette, à Nakibizzi, en Ouganda. Sóur Annet Kyalimpa, rscj, en est la directrice.

Pour nous tous c'est un grand stimulant de développer des relations réciproques entre nos deux écoles.  Moi qui suis l'institutrice de 4° primaire B, je désire aider sérieusement et efficacement. J'ai parlé à mes élèves et nous avons décidé de créer un calendrier dessiné par eux. Chacune des pages, chaque mois, serait créée et réalisée par deux enfants. A la base, on se servirait de peintures de grands artistes réputés. Les enfants ont recréé les peintures à leur guise. Chaque mois, un petit poème était composé et ajouté à la peinture.

Deux semaines avant Noël, le calendrier était terminé et les parents ont pu l'acheter comme cadeau de Noël idéal.

Sóur Gitti a été très étonnée quand la classe l'a invitée à venir. Elle le fut plus encore quand elle reçut un chèque de 600 Euros, cadeau de Noël pour l'école Sainte Bernadette en Ouganda.

Nous avons beaucoup aimé ce projet. C'était chouette et gratifiant de créer quelque chose pour soutenir le réseau international des écoles du Sacré-Cóur, pour nous, concrètement, en Ouganda.

The Hindus Knew It

The Hindus knew it:
If you kindle with fire the heart charka-
That great spinning central wheel of energy-
The rest of you
Takes fire.

But perhaps you did not know
That friendship, too,
Is a match that sets the central charka whirling,
And makes the whole of you
Take flame.

 

Conversation: 
Young Woman, Old Woman


She said she swims in God.
"It's like swimming."
I held my tongue.

I wanted to tell her about floundering,
about drowning,
About arid autumns, and all the waterless ways.

But you cannot tell a summer swimmer
about December ice;
nor how, in the spring of her elder years
the pool where she swam in her youth
will be all the world?s oceans wide. 

I knew, then, there was neither flight nor
   death nor drowning.
That when the sea comes calling you stop
   being good neighbors,
Well-acquainted, friendly-from-a-distance
   neighbors.
And you give your house for a coral castle,
And you learn to breathe under water.

 

Those who have been there
 

Part of you dies when you go.
All of you dies when you return.

At best you come back wounded,
bruised from goodbyes,
ripped wide open around the heart.

If you're lucky the scars heal.
If you're blessed the wounds turn radiant.

You know, finally, it's better to have
glimpsed the Promised Land
than never to have left your Egypt.

It?s better to be a grain of wheat that dies
than never to bear fruit.

 

I used to think heaven was future

 
Suddenly I knew
when we stood in a circle
holding hands;
suddenly I knew,
that because of the circle,
because of friendship,
because of love -
yes, and because of the brokenness
and the need -
I have been
in heaven
all
my life.

You don't understand?

I can only tell you:
stand firm in the circle,
hands joined,
knowing you are not separate,
knowing you are part of the great Oneness.
Stand firm in friendship with all.
Stand tall and deep in love.
And you will know
that heaven is not future.
You will be able to look back in love
upon yourself
holding yourself tenderly,
forgivingly.

Then, beyond guilt and fear and pain
you'll know,
gut-know,
you too have been
in heaven
all
your life.

 

House by the Sea


I built my house by the sea.
Not on sand, mind you.
Not on the shifting sand.
And I built it of rock.
A strong house.
By a strong sea.
And we got well-acquainted, the sea and I.
Good neighbors.
Not that we spoke much.
We met in silences.
Respectful, keeping our distance,
but looking our thoughts across the fence
   of sand.
Always, the fence of sand our barrier;
always the sand between.
 
And then one day
(I still don't know how it happened),
but the sea came.
Without warning.
Without welcome, even.
Not sudden and swift, but sifting across the
   sand like wine.
Less like the flow of water than the flow
   of blood.
Slow, but coming.
Slow, but flowing like an open wound.
And I thought of flight and I thought of drowning and I thought of death.
And while I thought the sea crept higher,
   till it reached my door.
 
I knew, then, there was neither flight nor
   death nor drowning.
That when the sea comes calling you stop
   being good neighbors,
Well-acquainted, friendly-from-a-distance
   neighbors.
And you give your house for a coral castle,
And you learn to breathe under water.
