An amazing experience ...

Last year, when I started college , I met a group of students from other programs who invited me to joined them to work in Trabajos Voluntarios in which, a group of students go to  work to a place of social risk and help people who live there. But, in that moment, I said no because I was a freshman and I did not know them , so I preferred to wait to the next summer.  When I heard about Trabajos in January I decided to go and live this experience, so I signed up.

This summer, was the turn of the central zone, so we went to La Ligua and we stayed there for two weeks, which were the most amazing weeks in my life. There we divided the work in different areas such as construction, legal , health and education , which was the area where I worked. We worked with 20 kids from La Ligua and we made different kind of activities for them, it was pretty fun for them and for us too.

It was a great experience, which I will never forget, because I lived so many things, for instance worked with that kids opened my mind and makes me think how I want to be in a future as a teacher . It was the best experience I have lived as a volunteer.

International Women´s day 

Every March 8 takes place the celebration of Women's Day, which highlights the role of women in our society and their constant struggle for gender equality.  As all people know in many countries is celebrated. Women has managed to achieve many things in our society, because there have been many changes that have been made that women have more power in everyday life, but even so the woman does not have the same power that man does not have access to the  same things and  we still living in a sexist society.

In Chile there are some  people who think that women have come to be in the same leve  than  man,  equating them  in social, cultural and economic areas.

However, large gaps have been revealed in the wages of women, which threaten the competitiveness and fairness. For instance women earn 16% less than men and in cases where they  have a superior position we find a 21% of  difference between what  earn a women  and a man. Besides women works two hours more than man and to that we can add that they have to do the housework .

In conclusion, I believe that women has to have the same nivel of power as man, because both of them are important in our society and if our country wants to be a developed country should be aware of  this problem.
