On September 25, Lucia and Mario, two of Scintille’ s dear members since its birth, got married. This is the mail they sent:

Dear Gianluca
How are you? Are you in Namibia or in Italy?
We are Mario and Lucia ….
Well, in short, we got married last Saturday, after nearly 10 years of cohabitation.
For us it was a very important moment, and a starting point for our future as husband and wife.
We asked to the guests at our wedding not to make us presents but, if they so wished, to participate with us in supporting some associations that deal with children.
One of these could not be other than SCINTILLE.
So you will find attached the copy of the bank transfer in favor of Scintille that we, together with our friends, would like to devolve to the project “Grow Together Kindergarten”. Obviously, if in the meantime the project had already been successfully completed, devolve the amount to what you feel is most important among the activities in place.
Now we are leaving for Australia … well-deserved honeymoon.
We’ll wait to hear from you, and get the latest news on the project “kindergarten”.

A hug
Mario and Lucia

Thank you very much, Lucia and Mario, by Scintille. We wish you a happy and exciting journey together into the future.

We finally managed to organize a trip through Europe for four Bushmen from Namibia! The tour, which will see our friends visiting England, Italy, Switzerland, Holland, Denmark and Germany, started July 1, 2010 and will end in early September.
The main target of this project is to show to the Bushmen some images of the European culture, with its many strengths and weaknesses.
Scintille sponsors the visit to Italy, where the Bushmen will be guests for a whole week, and has organized a series of encounters and cultural exchange meetings.
The most important are:

– Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 of July 2010 – Summer Festival at Belvedere Fogliense (PU): Introduction to the Bushmen culture by Luca Massalini and meeting with the Bushmen.
VIEW BROCHURE ATTACCHED

– Monday 19 of July –OLTREMARE (RN): we will be guests, thanks to infinite sensibility of the President Dr. Leandro Stanzani, at OLTREMARE, the famous park located neraby the Adriatic Riviera. Again, in the afternoon, there will be a meeting on the Bushmen culture and traditions.

During the stay in Italy there will be several visits to local economic realities, such as the company Francesco Bartolucci Srl located in Borgo Massano (PU), famous for its production of wooden toys and objects. We thank Bartolucci family for the huge support given to the whole project.
