With 78 years, Amantina leaves portraying taste by the lens of Glaucus carpeting, Photojournalist of LISTÍN DIARIO.
It not daunted by the flash that illuminates his wrinkled face. Moreover, smiles and is placed beside the Christmas tree to be used as scenery.
"Let me see it, let me verlaÖ Yes, I left pretty!" exclaims upon seeing the picture.
Doña Amantina was abandoned two years ago by relatives and is just one of so many moving stories that can count of the nursing home St. Francis of Assisi, which has a population of 300 inmates, and needs of the charity of the people to survive.
"Here what we receive is to all old folks that they have nothing, the poorest, and we need the help of everyone", said Sister Mary, Director of the home of elderly.
Precisely when this nun refers to need help from everyone, is because it refers to UNV and family, and I say u000abecause it is not just money, or food and utensils that could make them lack, but affection and care for inmates is just as important.
Home is farming 11 nuns of five nationalities, who are responsible for taking forward every day this nursing home. Only one of them is Dominican. "Here we are Spanish, Mexican, Peruvian, Colombian and a Dominican, said the nun.
The Government is responsible for paid staff work including janitors, doctors and nurses, although not all nursing staff who work at home is paid by the State. Currently, they are responsible for the payment of at least 20 of these professionals.
Before the uncertainty with which has the Centre and their 300 inmates, the Director says as necessary greater integration of the community, due to the simple fact that the youth of today will become elders of tomorrow.
Do need support for dinner? u000aChristmas? And the response was swift: "Pos clear, here need help, clear here that tells us will give the Christmas dinner, so wonderfully", told Sor María, asked if they need help for the holidays.
as doña Amantina, José Ramón Rosario presents a story worth telling. He suffered a stroke and he himself defines it as: "a thrombosis with physical wear and tear". Two months ago that he came to the Center and explains with nostalgia that the "joy of Christmas" is what most likes era.
