@b9ma_q8ya Basma Asociation for the poor in Kuwait

Basma es una asociación que recauda dinero para dar de comer a la gente de pocos de recursos de Kuwait porque no nos engañemos en el tercer país mas rico del mundo hay muchos muchos pobres. Sin ir mas lejos los barrenderos (los que veáis con el mono amarillo) tienen un sueldo de 60kd mensuales, son trasladados en furgonetas a sus puestos de trabajo, recogidos y devueltos a donde vivan todos juntos. Si alguna vez les ves acercarse a tu coche y sonreirte es porque estan esperando una propinita para poder tirar para adelante. Muchos son bangladesies, pakistanies o indios y por supuesto viven en comunas lejos de sus familias y les mandan todo lo que pueden. Son el escalón mas bajo en esta terrible sociedad donde las diferencias sociales son tan grandes.

Así que visto lo que ha hecho esta asociación y no puedo mas que aplaudirles y desear que esto no sea solo una acción del día de ayer si no el comienzo de una "bonita amistad" entre los ricos y los pobres de Kuwait.

Basma is an association that raises money to feed the few resources people of Kuwait because in the third richest country in the world there are many many poor. So Far sweepers (those you see with the yellow jumpsuit) have a monthly salary of 60 kD, are transferred in vans to their jobs, collected and returned to where they live together. If ever you see them approaching your car and smile at you it is because they are waiting for a small tip to pull forward. They are Bangladeshis, Pakistanis or Indians and of course live in communities far from their families and sent them all they can. They are the lowest rung in this terrible society where social differences are so great.

So I saw what made this association and I can not but applaud and hope that this is not just a one day action but the beginning of a "beautiful friendship" between the rich and the poor in Kuwait.

Spanish fashion in Kuwait | Moda Española en Kuwait II parte

As we discussed in previous post, the Spanish fashion has a big representation here. Once again, the Inditex group is in all world and markets but "Not only of Zara can the human being dress", right? Companies such as Condor have been installed in this country for a long time and that for moms like me who like the quality and variety of brand socks is helpful (in Baroue find them). Hoss Intropia is also in Kuwait (In The Avenues Mall) rather more expensive than in Spain but the truth is that it's good to go to the store and see the richness of the fabrics and skill in designing clothes. I have a dress that once landed in Bilbao I'll see if I can still find it and buy it. And we are also fortunate to have Adolfo Dominguez (also in The Avenues Mall) the store is huge and has the entire collection including U the young brand. Something I realy miss is a good brand of Spanish Shoes with good prices. We are lucky to have Pretty Ballerinas and from time to time Casta...

Colonia Kuwaiti para hombre | Kuwait 7711

No todos los olores hechos para Kuwait tienen Out entre sus componentes. Aquí os traigo esta colonia para hombres que mis chicos adoran llamada Kuwait 7711. Yo soy alérgica al Out por lo que esta colonia, que me recuerda a mi niñez y a mi abuelo, me encanta. La compró Br1 en la cooperativa no hace mucho y le costó 1.650 kd. También me parece un buen souvenir que llevarte de Kuwait para estas navidades. Cologne made in Kuwait, throughs me back to good memories of my grand Father. It´s quite cheap, 1.650 kd and you can get it from the coop, Shamiya. I also think its a good souvenir from Kuwait or even a gift for birthdays or Christmas.

Palestinian Cultural Center Exhibition

Palestinian Culture Center www.palestinianculture.org Pincha aquí / click here para ver la ubicación del evento Este era de mis planes favoritos cuando vivía en Kuwait, me han enviado la información del evento e inmediatamente he pensado en compartíroslo, ya que compartir es de guapas, como dice La Vecina Rubia. No dejéis de comprar una de sus piezas de cerámica pintadas por mujeres Palestinas en exclusión, refugiadas y con vidas muy muy difíciles. Las aceitunas, los dulces y las galletas saladas eran mis favoritas. This was one of my favourite plans while living in Kuwait. This association helps women in social exclusion living in as refugees in Lebanon, don´t miss the exhibition and please buy one of the fabric pieces or handpainted pottery. And try their olives or biscuits... love them.
