  • Colombia, Macedonia, 2010. Un pozo con fin. <br />
Cuando llega la época seca del año y no llueve, los pobladores improvisan pozos artesanales para recoger agua pura. En medio de tal abundancia de vida, en esta selva se corre el riesgo de no proporcionar el agua suficiente para el consumo humano. Las consecuencias del uso del hombre sobre los recursos naturales y el cambio climático se tornan más drásticas en este paisaje virgen. <br />
. A well with aim.<br />
When the dry season arrives and it does not rain, the villagers improvise by building artisan wells to gather pure water. In the middle of such abundant life, this forest runs the risk of not providing sufficient drinking water for its humans’ consumption. The consequences of man’s use of the natural resources and its effect on climatic changes become more dramatic in this virgin landscape.

  • Colombia, Mocagua, 2010. El puente. <br />
En la época lluviosa el nivel del río aumenta y cubre esta pequeña laguna que puede atravesarse gracias al ingenio local: una palmera caída sirve de puente. Entre tanto, los bordes son utilizados para la plantación de arroz. En la isla de en frente, se mantiene el sistema de cultivo tradicional conocido como chagra: nunca se siembra el mismo suelo dos veces. El chagra representa la unión, el respeto y el equilibrio con la tierra. <br />
              The bridge. <br />
At the rainy season the level of the river increases and covers this small lagoon which can be crossed, thanks to a local ingenuity: a fallen palm serves as bridge. In the meantime, the edges are used for rice plantation. In front of the island, the traditional crop system known as ‘chagra’ is used: the same ground is never seeded twice. Chagra represents union with, respect and balance of the Earth.

  • The Paco<br />
<br />
The Paco is a drug that is killing some years miles of kids in Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Peru. Born in the suburbs of Buenos Aires shortly after the 2001 crisis, soon spread to other countries. Paco is done with the residue of cocaine mixed with more harmful substances such as dust or glass halogen lamps burned. In a few time dependence is total and you get to death, body slimming, teeth falling out, until I choke. The paco only costs 5 pesos in Argentina dose (one euro) and has a few seconds 1000 times stronger than regular cocaine. Most affected are the young kids from 12 to 17 years. The great tragedy is that this deadly drug was released from the poorest areas and is now becoming fashionable even in the middle class. Without some kind of unstoppable epidemic.<br />

<br />
The South American country began experiencing a public health emergency in recent years as demand for crack boomed and open-air "cracolandias," or crack lands, popped up in the sprawling urban centers of Rio and Sao Paulo, with hundreds of users gathering to smoke the drug. The federal government announced in early 2012 that more than $2 billion would be spent to fight the epidemic, with the money spent to train local health care workers, purchase thousands of hospital and shelter beds for emergency treatment, and create transitional centers for recovering users.
