O.S.J. Malta help to prevent future problem.

O.S.J Malta present Carlos Caterpillar in Peru. We have recognized the need and offer “The Adventures of Carlos Caterpillar”, a animated production engaging children with both educational and entertaining adventures that help them understand the importance of behaving in accordance with a strong and positive value system.

“The Adventures of Carlos Caterpillar” portrays situations that children face in their everyday interactions, describes emotions in terms that children find relatable, and defines the core concept by illustrating consequences that can result when these values are not internalized and practiced in daily life. O.S.J. Malta look forward to implement such films in the educational system in Latin America.

El renacer, después del terremoto en el Aquila.

Lunes 6 de abril. El terremoto L'Aquila de 5.9 grados Ritcher derrumbó L’Aquila, en el centro de Italia. La zona estaba bloqueada, sin la posibilidad de acceso en tren, pero gracias a la gestión del  patronato de S. A. R. el Principe Real "Don Thorbjorn I Paterno y el miércoles pudimos llegar a la zona del desastre trasladados con la mobilidad de la Cruz Roja.

Al ingreso de la ciudad, los policias controlaban el ingreso rigorosamente, pero no tuvimos mayores inconvenientes.

Conforme recorríamos la ciudad no podía creer el panorama. L’Aquila es un desierto, parece una ciudad bombardeada. Casas, edificios y negocios destruidos, ambulancias por todos lados, cientos de automóviles de Defensa Civil y bomberos que iban y venían con las sirenas de emergencia. Socorristas de toda Italia colaborando en la recuperación de los cuerpos y la asistencia a los damnificados.

"L'Aquila sabía que iba suceder, pero no pensabamos que fuera así tan destructivo, este terremoto ha cancelado nuestra ciudad, nuestra memoria histórica y el mismo espíritu de la ciudad. He vivido de cerca esos momentos terribles y continuamos viviéndolo, porque todavía no termina. Esperamos en un futuro poder devolver la identidad a esta ciudad, su memoria histórica. Al momento han fallecido 260 personas y el resto de la ciudad prácticamente han fugado, la mayor parte de los aquilanos se han trasladado a la costa, a lugares más seguros para que puedan recuperar un poco de serenidad”, fueron las primeras impresiones del director de la Oficina de Prensa del gobierno de la región Abruzzo, Alfonso Morelli.

En el campamento de la Piazza D'Armi encontré 160 peruanos damnificados, un colombiano y un ecuadoriana, todavía en estado de shock, no pueden contener las lágrimas. Ha sido una terrible experiencia –dicen-, hemos perdido todo... pero gracias a Dios estamos con vida, !nos hemos salvado! y ahora sólo nos queda volver a empezar.
