annual report - Reggio Terzo Mondo

ANNUAL
REPORT
2015
“We do not know people when they come to us,
we must go to them to know what they are.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
2015 was a difficult year for our world, a year of fear, attacks, mistrust and emotion. This
is why I decided to open this report with this quote from Goethe. We must go to them
to really get to know them, to understand their thoughts, let ourselves be carried away
by their humanity. It’s always hard for me to be able to communicate not only the many
activities you will find in the following pages, but above all the enthusiasm, the passion, the
wonders that our work gives us.
This enthusiasm might not be able to shine from a report and maybe this is the reason we
would like to take you with us, in Madagascar, in Kosovo, in Albania, in Palestine. We would
like to tell you about the children included in the integrated classes and who are finally
laughing and playing with the other children and their eyes shining. We would like to tell you
about the women who hold their own future in their hands and who are breeding pigs with
the care that only women can give to a cub. We would like to tell you about the lambs that
are learning to stand on their paws in the mountains of Albania. We would like to tell you
about the young Palestinian teachers who want to give space to the 100 languages of the
children and gift them the ability to create a peaceful future.
We would like to tell you about the enthusiasm of the volunteers working on the field, the
ability and desires to share with the people they meet, the humanity they are able to put
into action. We would like to tell you about the jail where, with father Giovanni Davoli,
they go to spend some of their time with the convicts, we would like to tell you that this
experience gives a future even to them.
We would like to tell you … to make you feel like a part of our projects, to have you at our
side once again with our same enthusiasm, with the certainty that our world can be better
and that we, all of us, are rallied to lay our small seed for the future.
Nelson Mandela said: “We are the work, the bread, the water and the salt, things for all let
there be work, bread, water and salt for all.”
We add that there should also be schools, health and above all the faith in a world that
would go back to being livable for all.

RTM is an international voluntary non-governmental organization.
Since 1973, it has promoted international cooperation and solidarity
projects in Africa, Central and South-Eastern Europe, Latin America,
Western Balkans and Middle East as well as information, sensibilization
and development education activities in Italy.
RTM’s mission consists in promoting people’s dignity, safeguard their
fundamental rights and support the economical and social development
processes, paying particular attention to people and environment. RTM
operates through medium and long-term interventions with the active
participation of local partners and the involvement of local communities.
The strength of RTM is represented by the volunteers who work both
overseas, engaged in development projects, and in Italy, working on
raising awareness activities and fundraising campaigns.
OUR HISTORY
Ours is a history where different people and different cultures come together.
Our history tells the story of over 400 volunteers who dedicated years of their lives helping thousands of
women, children and men in order to meet their needs, to prove that a more brotherly world is possible.
It is a long story, this is why we will point out just a few of the many milestones along our journey.
The international volunteering experiences and the projects
to support the missionary activities start with the arrival of
the first missionary team of the Diocese of Reggio Emilia in
VOLONTAIRES
Madagascar. Throughout the years, due the increasing needs
of the local population, we moved on to rural development,
sanitary social animation and nutritional help projects and
income generation initiatives. It is all done thanks to the
recognition as an NGO by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs
in 1973 and the co-financed projects. Since then, our presence
in Madagascar has never been interrupted and as of today over
150 people have volunteered in this country for at least two
years. At this day, many members and ex-volunteers are still in
love with Red Island.

In this year begins
the 20 year presence
in Central African
Republic to meet
the locals needs that
brought us to work
on the development
of the agriculture and
of the community.
It is the year of the first seat
agreement with the hosting
Government, the one of
Madagascar.
RTM starts a three-year
project to support the
kindergartens and the
start of 25 new preschool
classes in Palestine.
RTM opens up to
Brazil with a project
DU

RTM deals with Kosovo emergency:
in collaboration with Caritas Reggiana we
supported the Albanian Caritas of Scutari
receiving the refugees. With the return of
the refugees in Kosovo, we decided to stand
by the population, planning interventions in
the agro-zootechnical and peace education
spheres. Even today, after more than 100
volunteers have interchanged during the
years, we are still present with interventions
for the rural development and supporting
women’s shelters.
Still in 1999, following the twinning between
the Bethlehem Governorate and the
Province of Reggio Emilia, RTM intervened
in Palestine. Initially, the intervention was
in support of a psychophysical rehabilitation
center for minors and later on in favor of
deaf-mute minors.

PROMOTION OF INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEERING
The first statutory objective of RTM-Volontari nel mondo is to promote development projects and International solidarity
in the countries in need.
In an exchanging perspective, the International Volunteers have a central role in the projects: they are asked to dedicate a
period of their lives to others for free; such period can go from one up to two years.
For such reasons RTM promotes the International volunteering, the European Voluntary Service, Civil Service
experiences, internships in collaboration with the Universities, summer volunteering camps and volunteering forms in
support of the raising awareness and social animation activities which the organism carries out locally.
-- International volunteering training course: we continued with the research, selection, interview and training activities
of the International Volunteers for the management of RTM’s projects in Albania, Kosovo, Madagascar and Palestine.
The training program provides:
• a first interview followed by the participation to the 4 weekend Training course.
In 2015, RTM has provided one residential course in spring.
• a specific training period with a 20-day duration aimed at the departure of the volunteer,
in particular the study of the language and of the project in which he will take part in.
-- European Voluntary Service (EVS): in 2015 the renewal of the accreditation to the program was formalized, though
no new EVS projects were presented.
-- National Civil Service (NCS): in 2015 RTM obtained approval for the civil service project in Italy and therefore
welcomed 2 volunteers in its offices in Reggio Emilia; approval was also given for the overseas civil service project in
Madagascar, Kosovo and Albania, sending a total of 8 volunteers. RTM took part to the new call for projects presenting
a request for 10 volunteers, of which 2 in Italy and the remaining in Madagascar, Kosovo and Albania.
-- Regional Civil Service (RCS): two volunteers started their RCS with RTM to support its activities of raising awareness
and social inclusion, in collaboration with the Granello di Senapa.

COMMUNICATIONS AND DEVELOPMENT EDUCATION
RTM undertakes, in accordance with the statutory objectives, to do communication and development education
activities. For this reason, RTM undertakes initiatives in the matters of global education, globalization, intercultural
dialogue, peace education, fair trade and lifestyles.
Activities carried out in 2015:
- Granello di Senapa: it is the coordination body through which RTM brings the development education matter into the schools.
In 2015 in Reggio Emilia the interventions in the primary and secondary schools were conducted over more than 750 hours.
- “One world, one future” http://www.unmondounfuturo.org/: the project is co-funded by the MAECI in 15 regions; it
promotes the education, the awareness and the participation of all the citizens to the International cooperation and sustainable
development. RTM, in collaboration with Granello di Senapa has involved 10 Schools of the Reggio Emilia province.
- Theatrical performance “A come SREBRENICA”: the civil theatrical performance was organized and shown on
November 25th, international day for the elimination of violence against women, for the second year in a row, at the
Cavallerizza theatre. The initiative was realized thanks to the Municipality of Reggio Emilia and with the contribution
of the European Union. The event sold out, with an audience of 385, thanks to the participation of many citizens
and companies. The entire proceeds were given to POWER, a project against gender based violence in Kosovo.
- Photo Exhibition “Head-high – a journey through Kosovo’s women shelters”: from May 19th to June 20th,
a Photo Exhibition was set up at Vittoria Cafè in Santa Vittoria (RE); the pictures on display were taken by Lorenzo
Franzi and show his journey throughout the six women shelters of Kosovo in July 2014. The initiative, arranged by
RTM and NONDASOLA Association, financed by the Emilia Romagna Region, was realized, thanks to the Municipality
of Gualtieri and the Vittoria Cafè Community cooperative, to raise the awareness of the city and give visibility to the
REVIVE - Reintegration of Victims of domestic Violence project.
- Film exhibition “Altro Tema”: on May 27th, the film “Vergine giurata” was screened at the cinema in Campagnola.
The proceeds (tickets were bought in exchange for a donation) were given to WAVES, a RTM’s project that supports
the women’s shelters in Albania. The initiative, promoted by the Cinema Oratorio San Giovanni Bosco of Campagnola,
was realized in collaboration with RTM and the NONDASOLA Association.
- Solidarity dinners that take place thanks to our volunteers: on July 5th 2015, the solidarity dinner “FOOD
FOR EVERYONE” was organized in Massenzatico, in the Church square, as the opening event of the Massenziadi.
Also, two solidarity aperitifs were organized (in Formigine and Vezzano sul Crostolo); the proceeds were devolved
to support RTM’s projects in Madagascar. Also, two solidarity aperitifs were organized (in Formigine and Vezzano sul
Crostolo); the proceeds were devolved to support RTM’s projects in Madagascar. Sono stati organizzati due aperitivi
solidali (a Formigine e Vezzano sul Crostolo): la raccolta è andata a sostegno dei progetti di RTM in Madagascar.
- “At Christmas wrap the present, donate the future!”: it is a fundraising and awareness initiative to support grade
zero public classes in Palestine and to launch 25 new public preschool classes. It was promoted by email and by making gift
bags from November 24th to December 24th at the Bottega Ravinala of Reggio Emilia, thanks to the volunteers’ support.
- Christmas Initiative “Angels go to school!”: 32 parishes of the Diocese of Reggio Emilia took part to this initiative
in November and December: after setting up the stands, volunteers sold little angels of the Ravinala Cooperative’s fair
trade; these angels were made in Indonesia by a cooperative of disabled people. The proceeds were devolved to the
AEPIC project in Palestine.
- Christmas cards campaign: in 2015, 18 companies of Reggio Emilia adhered to the Campaign. The proceeds were
allocated to RTM’s projects in Madagascar, Palestine, Kosovo and Albania.
- Solidarity scrolls: throughout the year, we were busy with the realization of solidarity gifts for various occasions such as
Marriages, Baptisms, First Communions, Confirmations. We thank those who chose to share their happy moments with RTM.
- Peace school of Reggio Emilia: RTM takes part to the Peace School promoted by the Municipality of Reggio Emilia
