The Children of PROJIMO.
The project in Ajoya that David
Werner wrote about no longer exists.
But that should not be a reason for despair.
Just like the people who create them, projects are born, mature, then decline
and eventually die.
Ending and Death are part of the Circle of Life.
 | Many of PROJIMO's patients and coworkers came to the project in desperate
need of support and help. Some decided to stay for the long run, like Mari,
Armando, Conchita and Rosita (who are now in the Coyotitan project.)
Service in the project became their choice of life, and their life of choice.
Most however eventually moved away, to go on with their lives somewhere else.
Many of these people have started programs similar to PROJIMO in their home
towns and villages.
|
| David Werner's books have also created awareness of potential, and many
programs were started based on the PROJIMO-model, even by people who never
visited PROJIMO. Those programs do not usually get the same kind of attention
that PROJIMO gets, but are nonetheless just as much worthy of recognition as
PROJIMO. Because they are younger, and still struggling, many of those
programs are more representative of the old PROJIMO ideals than PROJIMO
itself. |
These are the "Children of PROJIMO."
They are PROJIMO's legacy for the future. PROJIMO has stood model for a
multitude of spin-off organizations throughout Mexico; and thanks to David
Werner's books and work, throughout the entire world. Project PROJIMO may
no longer exist, but it has served its purpose. Its driving inspiration of
helping self by helping others and of creativity in the face of
challenge lives on in PROJIMO's children! That is
something any parent could rightfully be proud of.
In the name of all the people who have benefited from a
lifetime of service,
THANK YOU, PROJIMO!
In the name of all the children (and grand-children ... ) of your very precious
child,
THANK YOU, David Werner !

some not.
The projects are listed here in the same order as they appear on the DVD.
