Christmas appeal for Nicaraguan children – Wales Nicaragua Solidarity Campaign
Your contribution, however much, can make a difference to some of the poorest children in the world.
Because of your generosity, the Campaign has succeded in raising around £24,000 over the past four years to support the Los Quinchos Centre which works with the children of La Chureca rubbish dump. We are launching a Christmas appeal, to raise £1,400 to complete our support for this year. Any additional funds will also be sent to the Centre.

In his presentation at the 25th anniversary celebration of the campaign, David McKnight quoted Eduardo Galeano Hughes:
“I don’t believe in charity. I believe in solidarity. Charity is so vertical. It goes from the top to the bottom. Solidarity is horizontal. It respects the other person. I have a lot to learn from other people.”
In our next newsletter, another Campaign member discusses the nature of solidarity, and the effect of working with the people of Nicaragua:
Mari Wyn and the Nicaraguan Revolution
If the influence of society on individuals and the influence of individuals on society were recorded like a bank account, i would be in a huge debt. Especially where Nicaragua is in question.
When I was writing the thanks to include in the front of my first novel ‘Mari Wyn’, I thanked everyone who had helped me directly with the writing process. Only afterwards, when I asked Ben could I write an article for the Campaign’s newsletter (because I think that members of the Campaign would have an interest in it!), did I realise how much I need to say thank you to the people of Nicaragua for their contribution towards the process of forming the ideas for the book as well. This, in its turn, led me to think about much influence Nicaragua has had on my life generally and everything that I do.
Only living there made me realise how hard life can be. Especially if someone lives in a marginalised area (which is being pushed more to the margins because of global warming and lack of resources) under an economic system which stops someone looking after and profiting, in the true sense of the word, from their surroundings. This made me realise that my way of life in Wales and the economic, social and political systems which sustain it, prevent my friends in Nicaragua from living in some cases, without speaking about living comfortably. It made me realise that changing a few lights to low energy bulbs, however important, isn’t enough.It made me realise, if I called myself a friend to these people, I should do everything I could, as they themselves do, despite their everyday hardships to, put simply, change the world. It made me realise, if I did this I would have to accept, and others around me in my society, being less comfortable.
On the other hand, living in Nicaragua showed me the power of ordinary people of all types to change the world through co-operating to survive and thrive. I can’t describe the feeling of freedom I had sitting on the roof of a bus at 5 o clock in the morning, hurtling through the countryside, singing at the top of our voices ‘the people united will never be defeated’ on the way to celebrate the 19th anniversary of the revolution, and then the 20th. The same excitement I felt attending the huge Jubilee 200 protest in London and the G8 protest in Genoa, as well as smaller protests around Wales and England. The results of the struggle of the Revolution in Nicaragua weren’t perfect, nor the campaigns I have been a part of. There’s not one transformation of society which is perfect, I think. But the hope tied up with the process of campaigning and trying to change society is as important as the results in my opinion. Because this hope can enable us to envision a better reality, to imagine that it is possible.
Which brings me to the third thing, and perhaps the most important, that the people of Nicaragua taught me. Once someone feels this hope and has had a glimpse of a better future, the revolution doesn’t come to an end. There are ways of acting every day, and through every action someone takes. The actions being taken across the country at the moment are testament to this. The revolution isn’t a list of things to provide that someone can judge their success against.It is a cycle of social, political, emotional, spiritual and physical processes. Processes which contribute to the welfare, in its widest sense, of the earth and its residents. The revolution isn’t getting rid of something bad, but building something good. Not that this is easy. Reading ‘The Country Under My Skin’ by Gioconda Belli who part of the revolution in the 70s and afterwards, reminds me of the birth of a baby (decision, determination, strength and perseverance are the words which come to mind, as well as a sense of humour, of course. But it is possible.
Writing this now I have noticed that I should have not only thanked the people of Nicaragua in the book, but dedicated it to them. The novel was summed up on the back cover like this: ‘This is the story of a young girl who comes to understand the world and its contents. But Mari Wyn’s journey represents a lot more than this. Through getting a glimpse of a possible future, we search fo the way we choose to live our lives today, and ask are the choices we make the wise ones…..’. It’s become obvious to me that Mari’s journey in the novel represents the journey I made through working in Nicaragua. The experience I had there not only contributed to forming the ideas of the novel, it made a huge impact on the way I see the world, and the way I chose to live my life.
I am lucky then, that the influence on individuals by society and the influence of individuals on this society is not recorded in a bank account. But that’s what’s so lovely about solidarity (standing side by side with brothers and sisters working for a better world), the fact that we don’t record the transfer of inspiration in one direction or the other, and the actions we take which results from this. In fact, even if we did this, the sums would never add up, because in this case the sum would be greater than the parts. The fact is, as Taid said to Mari Wyn in the novel, “Of all the powers which make the world a better place, there’s nothing so far or so powerful as hope.” The fact is, as I once shouted on the roof of a bus “Juntos unidos, jamas seran vencidos!”

Yn ei cyflwyniad i dathliad 25 mlynedd yr Ymgyrch, dyfynodd David McKnight Eduardo Galeano Hughes
ar y gwahaniaeth rhwng cefnogi a rhoi i elusennau:
“I don’t believe in charity. I believe in solidarity. Charity is so vertical. It goes from the top to the bottom. Solidarity is horizontal. It respects the other person. I have a lot to learn from other people.”
Yn ein cylchlythyr nesaf, mae aelod arall yr Ymgyrch yn trafod natur solidariaeth, ar effaith arni o weithio gyda phobl yn Nicaragua:
Mari Wyn a Chwyldro Nicaragua
Petai dylanwad cymdeithas ar unigolion, a dylanwad unigolion ar y gymdeithas honno yn cael ei gofnodi fel cyfrif banc, byddwn mewn dyled aruthrol. Yn arbennig lle mae Nicaragua yn y cwestiwn.
Pan oeddwn yn ysgrifennu’r diolchiadau i’w cynnwys yn nhu blaen fy nofel ‘Mari Wyn’, diolchais i’m rheini oedd wedi fy helpu’n uniongyrchol gyda’r broses sgwennu. Dim ond wedyn, ar ôl imi holi Ben os oedd modd sgwennu erthygl am y llyfr i gylchlythyr yr ymgyrch (gan y byddwn yn meddwl y buasech chi fel aelodau’r ymgyrch gyda diddordeb ynddo!), wnes i sylweddoli faint oeddwn angen diolch i bobl Nicaragua am eu cyfraniad nhw tuag at y broses o ffurfio syniadau ar gyfer y llyfr hefyd. Arweiniodd hyn i mi feddwl am faint o ddylanwad gafodd Nicaragua ar fy mywyd yn gyffredinol ac ar yr holl bethau dwi wedi ac yn eu gwneud.
Parodd yno imi sylweddoli pa mor anodd mae bywyd yn gallu bod. Yn enwedig os ydy rhywun yn byw mewn cynefin ymylol (sy’n cael ei wthio mwy mwy tuag at yr ymylon gan gynhesu byd eang, a phrinder adnoddau) dan system economaidd sy’n atal i rywun warchod ac elwa, yng ngwir ystyr y gair, y cynefin hwnnw. Parodd imi sylweddoli bod fy null o fyw yng Nghymru a’r systemau economaidd, cymdeithasol a gwleidyddol mae hynny’n parhau, yn atal fy ffrindiau yn Nicaragua rhag byw, mewn rhai achosion, heb sôn am fyw’n gyfforddus. Parodd imi sylweddoli nad oedd gosod ambell i fwlb ynni isel, er yn beth pwysig i’w wneud, yn ddigon. Parodd imi sylweddoli, os oeddwn am alw fy hun yn ffrind i’r bobl ‘ma, fod rhaid imi wneud popeth o fewn fy ngallu, fel y maen nhw eu hunain yn ei wneud, er mor anodd yw eu bywydau bob dydd, i newid y byd. Parodd imi sylweddoli, os oeddwn am wneud hynny byddwn yn gorfod derbyn fod fy mywyd fy hun, a bywydau eraill o fewn fy nghymdeithas, yn gorfod bod yn llai cyfforddus.
Ar ochr arall y geiniog, wedi byw yno, sylweddolais y pŵer sydd gan bobl gyffredin o bob math i newid y byd wrth gydweithio i oroesi a ffynnu. Fedrai’m disgrifio’r wefr o ryddid a gefais wrth eistedd ar do bws am 5 o’r gloch y bore, yn hyrtlan trwy cefn gwlad, yn gweiddi canu ‘Juntos unidos jamas seran vencidos’ ar y ffordd i ddathliadau pen-blwydd y chwyldro’n 19 ac wedyn yn 20. Yr un wefr a deimlais wrth fynychu protestiadau anferthol Jiwbilî 2000 yn Llundain a’r G8 yn Genoa, yn ogystal â phrotestiadau llai o amgylch Cymru a Lloegr. Dim bod canlyniadau ymgyrch y chwyldro yn Nicaragua’n berffaith, na chwaith yr ymgyrchoedd dwi wedi bod yn rhan ohonyn nhw. Does ‘na’r un newid cymdeithasol yn berffaith. Ond mae’r gobaith sy’n ynghlwm â’r broses o ymgyrchu a cheisio newid cymdeithas yr un mor bwysig â’r canlyniadau yn fy marn i. Oherwydd y gobaith hwnnw sy’n ein galluogi ni i weledigaethu realiti gwell, i fentro dychmygu ei fod yn bosib.
A ddaw a mi at y trydydd peth, ac efallai’r peth pwysicaf, wnaeth bobl Nicaragua ei ddysgu imi. Unwaith mae rhywun wedi teimlo’r gobaith hwnnw ac wedi cael cip ar ddyfodol gwell, ni ddaw’r chwyldro byth i ben. Mae ‘na fodd ei weithredu bob dydd, a thrwy bob gweithred a wna rhywun. Mae’r gweithredu a gaiff ei wireddu ledled y wlad hyd heddiw’n dyst i hynny. Dydy chwyldro ddim yn rhestr o bethau i gyflawni fel y gall rhywun ei arfarnu a datgan ei lwyddiant neu beidio. Mae’n gylchdro o brosesau cymdeithasol, gwleidyddol, emosiynol, ysbrydol a ffisegol. Prosesau sy’n cyfrannu tuag at les, yn ystyr ehangaf y gair, y ddaear a’i thrigolion. Nid cael gwared o rywbeth drwg mo’r ‘chwyldro’ ond adeiladu rhywbeth da. Dim bod gwneud hynny’n hawdd. Mae darllen ‘The Country Under My Skin’ gan Gioconda Belli a oedd yn rhan o’r chwyldro yn y 70au yn fy atgoffa o eni babi (penderfyniad, cadernid, nerth a dyfalbarhad yw’r geiriau ddaw i’r meddwl, yn ogystal â synnwyr digrifwch wrth gwrs!). Ond mae o’n bosib.
Wrth sgwennu hyn rŵan dwi’n sylweddoli na ddylwn i wedi dim ond diolch i bobl Nicaragua yn y llyfr ond ei gyflwyno iddynt. Caiff y nofel ei chrynhoi ar gefn y llyfr fel a ganlyn: ‘Hanes hogan fach yn dod i ddeall y byd a’i bethau yw hon. Ond mae taith Mari Wyn yn cynrychioli llawer mwy na hynny hefyd. Wrth gymryd cip ar ddyfodol posib, cawn archwilio’r modd rydyn ni’n dewis byw ein bywydau heddiw, a gofyn a yw’r dewisiadau a wnawn ni yn rhai doeth…’. Mae wedi dod yn amlwg imi fod taith Mari yn y nofel yn adlewyrchiad o’r daith a fues arni wrth fyw a gweithio yn Nicaragua. Mae’r profiad gefais i yno nid yn unig wedi cyfrannu tuag at ffurfio syniadau ar gyfer y nofel, mae wedi cyfrannu’n fawr iawn tuag at y ffordd dwi’n gweld y byd, a’r ffordd dwi’n ceisio byw fy mywyd.
Dwi’n lwcus iawn felly, nad yw dylanwadau ar unigolion gan gymdeithas a dylanwadau unigolion ar y gymdeithas honno yn cael eu cofnodi fel cyfrif banc. Onid dyna sydd mor hyfryd am solidariaeth (sef sefyll ochr yn ochr â’n brodyr a chwiorydd wrth weithio tuag at well byd), y ffaith nad oes modd cofnodi’r trosglwyddiad o ysbrydoliaeth rhwng un person a’r llall a’r gweithredu caiff ei wireddu yn sgil hynny. Hyd yn oed petai hynny’n bosib, fyddai’r sỳms byth yn adio’n gywir, achos yn yr ystod yma mae’r cyfanwaith yn fwy na chyfanswm y rhannau. Y ffaith fod, fel y dywed Taid wrth Mari Wyn yn y nofel, ‘O’r holl rymoedd sydd yn gwneud gwell byd, does ‘na’r un mor anhepgorol, yr un mor rymus â gobaith.’ Y ffaith fod, fel y gweiddais o do bws unwaith, ‘Juntos unidos jamas seran vencidos!’.
Cyhoeddwyd Mari Wyn gan Y Lolfa, mae modd ei brynu o’ch siop lyfrau Cymraeg lleol neu os nad oes un yn agos, dros y we.

help support the los quinchos children’s project on managua’s rubbish dump
Posted: August 21, 2011 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: la chureca, los quinchos, nicaragua, pronica Leave a comment »
Photo: David McKnight
Last week Wales NSC member David McKnight visited the Los Quinchos children’s project on La Chureca, Managua’s rubbish dump. There is clearly good progress being made with the building of the new houses and the capping and sealing of the dump – key aspects of the redevelopment of the site funded by the Spanish Government in cooperation with the municipal council in Managua. However, the children are finding all the changes traumatic and the uncertainty of the future of the centre only increases their insecurity and distress. We are currently working with ProNica (who provide the food for the children) and Los Quinchos (who manage the project on La Chureca) to ascertain what support the project will require over the next 12 months.
What’s clear is that we still need to raise around £400 per month to keep it going – probably up until March next year when we hope that the families will be able to move into new houses and start new jobs. Since setting up our new online fundraising page in April we have raised over £1800. Thanks to all those who have donated and supported the project over the years – we still need you! We have been working with and funding the project since 2007 – raising more than £20,000 to keep the centre open. This money has paid for the salaries of the staff who work with the children – a coordinator, a teacher, two vocational instructors, a cook, a nurse, a nightwatchman – 7 staff in all, for the small sum of £6,000 a year.
Los Quinchos helps support the children and develop them. Some of the street children they’ve worked with in the past now work for the organisation. Others have gone on to higher education. All have had a respite from the punishing conditions in La Chureca.

blas o nicaragua
Posted: July 3, 2011 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: la chureca, los quinchos, nicaragua cymru, y corchan blasus Leave a comment »Ddoe cynheliwyd y chweched taith gerdded noddedig er mwyn Nicaragua. Y tro hon aeth yr Ymgyrch i Gwm Prysor, at yr Arenig. Er fod criw bach oedd yna, cododd y taith dros £500, digon am fis arall o gefnogaeth i Los Quinchos, sy’n gweithio gyda phlant La Chureca. Yn awr mae’r digwydiad codi arian arall ar y gweill.
Bydd blas o Nicaragua yn dod i Benygroes yr wythnos nesaf , ac mae un o’r trefnwyr newydd ddod yn ôl o’r wlad, lle roedd hi’n gweithio ar brosiect dŵr glan i gymuned dlawd.
Cynhelir noson o fwyd Nicaraguaidd yng nghaffi y Crochan Blasus ar nos Fawrth, Gorffennaf 12, 6.30. Ar y fwydlen bydd bwyd tradoddiadol o Nicaragua – gallo pinto (ffa a reis), maduros (plantain/banana wedi ei ffrio), tortilla, ac i bwdin, cacen tres leches (tri llefrith). Mae tocynnau yn costio £12, gyda chyfraniad at apêl La Chureca, i helpu plant sy’n byw a gweithio ar domen sbwriel yn Nicaragua.
Mae tri person yn trefnu’r noson. Mae dau ohonynt, gwr a gwraig Ben Gregory ac Angharad Tomos, wedi bod yn Nicaragua sawl gwaith, ac wedi cael cysylltiad tymor hir gyda’r wlad. Ond mae’r trydydd yn berson eithaf newydd i’r wlad yng Nghanolbarth America. Mae Mari Jones, 18, o Benygroes, yn gyn-ddisgybl Ysgol Dyffryn Nantlle, sydd wedi bod yn gweithio yn Nicaragua cyn dechrau coleg yn yr Hydref.
“Teithiais Ganolbarth America am dri mis a hanner o Chwefror i Fai eleni, yn gwirfoddoli a chrwydro o dref i dref,” meddai Mari. “Mi dreuliais dair wythnos mewn pentref bach yng Ngogledd Nicaragua ger Esteli yn byw gyda theulu a gweithio ar brosiect dŵr yn y dydd.”
“Ni welais erioed dlodi mor eithafol cyn mynd i Nicaragua,” meddai Mari. “Nid oedd gan y tai ddŵr tap na thrydan ac roedd dillad y plant yn garpiau. Roeddwn yn gwirfoddoli gyda’r elusen Raleigh, ac roedd 15 arall o bobol ifanc o Ewrop yno gyda mi yn gweithio. Llwyddom i dyllu dwy ffynnon 10 metr i’r ddear, adeiladu a smentio tanc dwr yn ogystal a chysylltu 6 tap i dai’r teuleuoedd.”
“Cefais brofiad bythgofiadwy, a hoffwn gario mlaen i gefnogi’r wlad a’i phobl wedi fy ymweliad byr.Felly rwyf wedi ymuno gydag Ymgyrch Gefnogi Nicargua Cymru a rydym am gynnal noswaith o fwyd a choffi o’r wlad ar y 12fed o Orffenaf. Noson i godi arian tuag at y plant ar domen sbwriel La Chureca fydd hi. Rydym yn byw bywydau mor foethus yma a chredaf ei bod yn ddyletswydd arnom i feddwl ychydig am y rhai llai ffodus na ni – yn ogystal â chael llond bol o fwyd blasus!!”
