"Adopt a child from Naples." The cardinal of Naples, Sepe, decided to mobilize for the "street urchins" street with an initiative of solidarity "glocal", as it is called, which in addition to the many accessions, however, has also seen some controversy. "With a donation of thirty euro a month in Naples poor children can have food and go to school," spiega il Cardinale, presidente della fondazione In nome della vita, promotrice dell’inusitata campagna dal titolo “Aiutami a crescere”.
La necessità dell’iniziativa partita a fine anno è dimostrata dai numeri: Sono oltre trecento le richieste di adozione dei bambini napoletani giunte finora alla Curia arcivescovile della città. Le famiglie bisognose e i bambini poveri saranno segnalati dalle parrocchie del territorio, e avranno la possibilità di avere, così, con un euro al giorno, non soltanto un’adeguata nutrizione, ma un’istruzione adeguata per i più piccoli. Come? È semplice: i fondi non saranno elargiti in denaro, ma in scarpe, vestiti, libri e cibo. E i bambini saranno followed in their studies. "The goal is not welfare approach - says the director of Caritas in Naples, Don Gaetano Romano - will try to help both children and infants school age. The poverty in our country has reached a point where parents have serious difficulties even to scrape together the money to buy milk for babies. " The initiative will last over a year and so far, thanks to the traditional charity auction held on December 29, presided over by singer Massimo Ranieri, have been well collected 90 thousand euro. "Unfortunately, the number of households within the range of poverty has tripled in the past two years - Don Gaetano continues - even today the family was moderately wealthy are feeling the effects of the crisis. There are the unemployed, those are in trouble of having given a mortgage that can no longer support. " With the money collected will also open a food bank for children "that will allow the parish to distribute food for infants.
The initiative of local solidarity, however, did not like as much to Antonio Bassolino, on whose blog we read that "the children of Naples should think about the state." Although the intentions of the Cardinal are the best, according to the President of the Board of Campania, with this initiative, the third best that the first world, is likely to mislead the citizens of the seventh industrial power of the planet, these important turning away requests for help from the address of the real destination: the State, in fact.
Some right-wing movements, however, have now caught the ball, to "politicize" rather than "nationalized" this initiative, on the internet because it says: "Finally someone thinks our children, rather than those of non. " We should remember when Italian children, and not just the shoeshine boys of Naples, begging the stranger the bread that their government had failed to give him, before speaking. Above the first to exploit playing an initiative of solidarity from the bottom of the parishes, without going to see what it does state in the territory and for those children: none. Apart from a few crumbs of "Welfare", bestowed here and there in the form of subsidies ridiculous and humiliating, crumbs, indeed, stripped to the Camorra, which in places likely to be the only "welfare state" really present. If not, every now and then, for some laudable initiative, although manipulation, the Church or civil society.
