Due originali iniziative a Cagliari per la cura del verde e del carcere.

Una speciale classifica che misura la qualità della vita nelle città vede Cagliari al secondo posto in Italia come quantità di verde a disposizione dei suoi cittadini. E in questa città nel 1983 nasce la cooperativa sociale “Primavera ’83”: un giardiniere, un assistente sociale e la certezza nella fede che nulla è impossibile a Dio sono i suoi ingredienti principali. Oggi nella cooperativa lavorano 55 cooperatori, operando soprattutto nei giardini della città di Cagliari con uno stile che concilia l’inserimento lavorativo di persone vulnerabili con l’efficienza richiesta dal mercato.

A business born from the Communion of know-how and more...

By Adriana Mendes

“I had long dreamed of opening an EoC business in the Ginetta Industrial Park (Igarassu-PE). After a few years of trying and of conducting market research in Brazil, during the 20th anniversary Assembly of the EoC in Sau Paolo, I met  Jussara Gomes, an entrepreneur of the EoC who founded the Gicalli company, a business that has been in operation for 18 years in Rio de Janeiro.” This is how Aparecida Pina, better known as Cida, an expert in social communications, tells about the start of the business venture named Lado C (Side C, creative pieces) at the end of January 2012. Cida  is now in charge of the sales department, in addition to coordinating the general management of the business.

Cida’s dream was immediately shared also by  Nadja Palmeira from Maceió-AL, who had the same desire and thus became a partner. (in the photo: Nadja on the left and Cida on the right)

Saturday 25 February 2012, the citizens of the Mariapolis Ginetta, besides many people of Vargem Grande Paulista-SP and of Salto payed their last respects to José Celso Becca, known to them as "Becca"

By Adriana Mendes

Who was José Celso Becca, as a person, businessman, father and husband, son, brother and friend who today we feel the duty to remember?

"This guy is crazy just like me. If he makes it to sell with his winning smile... we are set. He is a good person, intelligent, honest, courageous. He lives one hundred kilometers away from the Spartaco Industiral Park, has  a job, a wife, five children and does not know how to say no... because he is the Economy of Communion."

This is what François Neveux wrote in his dairy in recalling his encounter with Becca back in ‘94, when he invited him to join his daring business project at the Spartaco Industrial Park, which later took shape into “Rotogine.”  Becca responded affirmatively to the invitation and with generosity. Alongside  François and many others, Becca was one of the pioneers of the EoC.

Testimonianze di Aziende Edc e crisi

di Egidio Mitidieri

Con altri due soci dal 1994 opero a Prato (PO) con la nostra azienda che è una Software House. Due anni fa,  ci trovammo a dialogare con i nostri 4 Dipendenti sullo stato della crisi nella nostra società: per la prima volta infatti era per noi necessario far ricorso alla CIG (Cassa Integrazione Guadagni). Fu un momento forte ma prezioso per tutti. Inizialmente tutti e 4 aderirono al percorso che mirava a salvare insieme il patrimonio di conoscenze costruito in 15 anni di Lavoro. Dopo qualche settimana Paola - che da poco aveva avuto un bambino - ci disse che non poteva più viaggiare e quindi di comune accordo si decise di interrompere il rapporto di lavoro.

Still on the Flood in Liguria: very concrete answers

by Giacomo Linaro*

On October 25th I found myself in Monterosso for work.  There was a scheduled meeting for the Board of Directors of “Consortium of Padre Semeria,” with which we manage a large Residential Center (a nursing home and tourist facilities), on the hills of the town. The rapid and violent flood forced us all to contain the first damages of the water coming through the windows and doors drying them quickly, together with the nursing home workers, parents and all those who could help. Soon the town of Monterosso was isolated, because the lights went out; but since we had an independent generator, we had no problems.
