Ramadan is the 9th month of the Islamic calendar a

Ramadan is the 9th month of the Islamic calendar and it is a month of fasting, introspection, and prayer. It celebrates the first revelations of the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad. Since the Islamic calendar follows the moon calendar, the date for this holiday varies from year to year; this year it begins on April 12th and ends on May 12th.
Fasting is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and it is intended to educate Muslims in spirituality, humility, and patience. As well as serving as a spiritual cleanse and an opportunity to focus on their connection to God.
This holiday brings Muslims all over the world together and it is a time for sharing and practice selflessness.
We want to wish all of our Muslim followers a blessed Ramadan!

Ramadán es el noveno mes del calendario Islámico y es un mes de ayuno, introspección y oración. Celebra las primeras revelaciones del Corán al profeta Muhammad. Dado que el calendario Islámico sigue el calendario lunar, la fecha de esta festividad varía entre un año y otro; este año comienza el 12 de abril y termina el 12 de mayo.
El ayuno es uno de los Cinco Pilares del Islam y está destinado a educar a los musulmanes en espiritualidad, humildad y paciencia. Además de servir como limpieza espiritual y una oportunidad para enfocarse en su conexión con Dios.
Esta festividad une a los musulmanes de todo el mundo y es un momento para compartir y practicar el altruismo.
¡Queremos desear a todos nuestros seguidores musulmanes un feliz Ramadán!

On April 7th, we remember the victims of the Rwand

On April 7th, we remember the victims of the Rwanda Genocide, a tragedy that occurred over the course of 100 days in 1994; taking the lives of around 500,000 to 600,000 Tutsi people.
Individuals inside the country were left in a very vulnerable position because of socio-political and economical issues that appeared due to the genocide and that still prevail.
Many Tutsi people had to flee the country and look for a more hopeful future in the neighboring countries; which caused tension to rise between Rwanda and other countries in the area.
The UN also faced consequences, especially after the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda (UNAMIR) had failed to prevent the genocide and to protect the people in the area.

This day gives us the opportunity to learn from past mistakes on every level: national, regional, and international, and to prevent us from repeating them.

El 7 de abril recordamos a las víctimas del Genocidio de Ruanda, una tragedia que ocurrió en el transcurso de 100 días en 1994; cobrando la vida de entre 500.000 y 600.000 Tutsis.
Las personas dentro del país quedaron en una posición muy vulnerable por cuestiones sociopolíticas y económicas que surgieron a raíz del genocidio y que aún prevalecen.
Muchos Tutsis tuvieron que huir del país y buscar un futuro mas esperanzador en los países vecinos; lo que provocó un aumento de tensión entre Ruanda y otros países de la zona.
La ONU también enfrentó consecuencias, especialmente después de que la Misión de Asistencia de las Naciones Unidas para Ruanda (UNAMIR) no lograra prevenir el genocidio y proteger a las personas en el área.

Este día nos brinda la oportunidad de aprender de los errores del pasado en todos los niveles: nacional, regional e internacional, y evitar que los repitamos.

Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human R

Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights maintains that all people have the right to religious beliefs, to change their minds and to have no affinity for any.
This article touches upon the importance of actively implementing tolerance and respect as fundamental values in society. Consequently, this leads to societies where people with different religious perspectives can co-exist and practice their faith in an individual and collective manner without facing negative repercussions.
Despite being one of the religions with the most followers in the world, in certain areas of the planet people who practice their Christian faith are persecuted. This ranges from physical persecution, to a least visible persecution which affects the lives of many Christians (private, social, and national level).
This Holy Week we want to recognize how crucial it is to build communities in which every person can feel comfortable and not live in fear due to their religious beliefs.

El artículo 18 de la Declaración Universal de Derechos Humanos sostiene que todas las personas tienen derecho a tener creencias religiosas, a cambiar de opinión y a no tener afinidad por ninguna.
Este artículo aborda la importancia de implementar activamente la tolerancia y el respeto como valores fundamentales en la sociedad. Consecuentemente, se crean sociedades donde personas con diferentes perspectivas religiosas pueden coexistir y practicar su fe de manera individual y colectiva sin enfrentar repercusiones negativas.
A pesar de ser una de las religiones con más seguidores en el mundo, en determinadas zonas del planeta se persigue a las personas que practican su fe Cristiana. Esto va desde la persecución física, hasta la persecución menos visible que afecta la vida de muchxs Cristianxs (a nivel privado, social y nacional).
Esta Semana Santa queremos reconocer lo crucial que es construir comunidades en las que cada persona pueda sentirse cómoda y no vivir con miedo debido a sus creencias religiosas.

En 1966, la ONU declaró el 21 de marzo como el Día Internacional de la Eliminación de la Discriminación Racial para conmemorar las vidas de 69 personas que fueron asesinadas en una manifestación pacífica en Sudáfrica.
Este día busca crear conciencia acerca de la lucha que se vive por la igualdad y la eliminación del racismo.
También nos ayuda a analizar las formas en que luchamos activamente contra el racismo en nuestro día a día.
¿Qué hacemos en nuestra vida diaria para combatir este problema? ¿Cómo podemos seguir haciéndolo? ⁠

International Women's Day is Tomorrow! And to celebrate it, we want to introduce you to four incredible women that have had a big impact in society and within the Feminist movement.

The third woman is Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw, a US lawyer, civil rights advocate, philosopher, and scholar of critical race theory. She coined the term "intersectionality" which explains the ways in which people who belong to different minorities will experience discrimination. She researches various forms of discrimination faced by women from different economic backgrounds, ethnicity, and sexuality. She considers that social movements should include these aspects to be truly inclusive.
She is a well-known lecturer in the United States, author of many books and articles, and has received several awards for her work.

New ideas are always welcome to celebrate this day!

World Wildlife Day (WWD) gives us an opportunity to celebrate the Earth's flora and fauna; while creating awareness about threats wildlife faces all over the world. The United Nations declared March 3rd the WWD and this year the theme is: "Forests and
livelihoods: Sustaining People and Planet". Just like we are dependent on the different ecosystems, their survival is also dependent on the practices we have. It is crucial that as the economy transforms, our ways of utilizing our natural resources become more sustainable and conscious of nature.

El Día Mundial de la Vida Silvestre nos brinda la oportunidad de celebrar la flora y fauna de la
Tierra y también nos permite generar consciencia sobre las amenazas que la naturaleza
enfrenta. El 3 de marzo fue declarado por Naciones Unidas como el Día Mundial de la vida
silvestre, siendo la temática del 2021: "Los Bosques y los Medios de Subsistencia: Sustentar a
las Personas y Preservar el Planeta".
Así como los seres humanos dependemos de los recursos naturales, la preservación de la
naturaleza depende de las prácticas que tenemos nosotros cómo individuos. Es crucial que
conforme la economía se transforma, las maneras en las que utilizamos los recursos naturales
se vuelvan más sostenibles y conscientes de la naturaleza.
¡Siempre estamos felices de recibir nuevas ideas para celebrar este día!
