EDITORIAL

Many of us set off from the northern part of the world, where now it is summer time, to reach Mozambique, Guinea Bissau, Albania. Every year in July and August they animate what we like to call a �solidarity summer�. They are mostly European young people and adults, ordinary people who take time off from work longing not only for their own well-being and fitness but also for that of those who are deprived of it. On our web site they are called �Friends in the World�.

The news of this week report their accounts which help us to travel along them: they take us in Matola, the overcrowded Mozambican city, where we see the joy of the children at the nutritional centre and the anxious mothers who accept to be tested for HIV, since they now know that someone will take care of them and of their children if they prove to be infected.

Then, we follow them as they get to Guinea Bissau, within the new walls of the hospital, now secured from war and neglect, where every day hundreds of people arrive on foot needing for care and treatment.

They take us also to Albania, not only in Tirana, but also in the poorest villages of the Albanian mountains. We find there many more children, celebrating and studying at the Peace School. The photos, maybe a bit blurred (like most of family pictures), show smiling faces and groups of people who are celebrating. Thus, we like to continue to listen to their accounts, which tell us very simply, that indeed it is in giving that you receive.
