The show must go on... By Alejandra

It is to hug life and death at the same time while you know that one unexpected day everything it can be finished. It's to love those who are alive and to say goodbye to those who have left. It's to look from the sickness without a vaccine for all of them. It's to see hungry in their pupils, it's a hope of glimpse of hundred of children, it's the mother who extends her hand asking for help, it's the kid who hugs you looking for an opportunity, it's the first time that you listen twice before to talk, it's the voice inside of your conscience, it's the story that repeats over and over, but that keeps being the same in many lives, it's the word "family" since its source, it's the tear that is not yours, but theirs and three words "Please, help me".

It's the confident that nobody has given to me before, that I have never understood, is the power to know that I won't leave Tanzania, their names would travel with me, it is to full my luggage with hundred of stories which would give me the power to keep going, it won't matter what would be happening. It is to believe more than ever in myself, upon what you want to do, it doesn't matter how many times someone will tell me how difficult it is. I am ready, born that way, to accept the challenge and the responsibility to don't give up, to know that I will fight until the end and there is only one end possible and that's would be when I get it. I will cross all the borders that I have to cross to get a chance, to show the world what I can do it and why I am here.

Someone told me once a time that to be free, we should be ready to live just with one luggage. Since then, I haven't stop traveling with only one bag, since then, I only hear the same question: - Where are all your bags? That's is all! - This is all I have.

And suddenly you are free, suddenly you stop being hungry to satiate a closet, to stop following a trend, to go through others who try to sell us some stupid and unnecessary materials things, to stop limit yourself and to understand where your hungry is and the answer it is not in the food, the answer is to know that I am already home, that I've never left and I won't never leave, because home is just a place in the world and that place is not Europe, it is not Spain or either Almería, home is there where I am with my values and principles, with all the choices that I have made yesterday, those who have made me the person who am I today. This is Tanzania, This is Alejandra. A Child of the world.
