¡HEMOS ENCONTRADO UN LOCAL Y NECESITAMOS AYUDA!

Hola a todos,

Buenas tardes con una gran sonrisa.

Os voy a compartir buenas y no tan buenas noticias. Como todos sabéis, des de hace ya tres años que estoy buscando un sitio para poder abrir una cafetería y hacer de este sueño una realidad. Aun así,  esta tarea está siendo difícil dado que los precios de vivienda son muy altos en Bombay… y sumando a esto, aún no ha venido nadie que me pueda solventar la necesidad financiera. La mayoría de la gente lee los artículos y solo muestra su agrado, pero no pasan de este punto.

Creerme si os digo que es muy difícil y nada fácil para mi saber que hay tanta gente que sabe sobre el proyecto, y sin tener en cuenta su clase o su fortuna, nadie ha venido a decirme: “Amin, empezamos a trabajar juntos y encontrar la manera de hacer este sueño realidad”. Hay unos cuantos ÁNGELES que han dado todo lo que han podido. Ellos saben y sienten el proyecto, y comparten su empatía y amor hacia él. Ellos andan conmigo aun estando tan lejos, pero a la misma vez tan cerca de mi corazón. Mano a mano ellos aseguran que nunca abandone mi objetivo, este sueño de la cafetería. Este proyecto de amor para el beneficio de esos niños que no tienen la oportunidad de desarrollarse trabajando en “su” sueño de cafetería. Me creáis o no, estos amigos que están conmigo en el proyecto, lo están des del primer dia! Estos son los ángeles que creen en la mejora.

  

He encontrado un lugar en Mumbai, Andheri EAST M.I.D.C. El precio es alrededor de unas 20,000,000 Rupias, lo que sería unos 300,000 Euros. Doy ejemplo en Euros porque la mayoría de los ÁNGELES que han estado ayudándome son de EUROPA.

Después de dos horas hablando con los constructores y propietarios, finalmente han acordado este precio. Los constructores no les importa demasiado la finalidad y la intención detrás del proyecto. Un hombre de negocios solo está interesado en dinero y no tienen la empatía necesaria para darme tiempo y comprensión para poder empezar este bonito proyecto.

Este lugar me gusta por muchas razones, es un sitio tranquilo, verde, y tiene el espacio necesario para que la gente pueda leer libros en calma, encontrarse y hacer actividades sociales como eventos, charlas, convenciones, tomar un café o un té con algún tentempié tranquila y calmadamente, evitando el estrés y las prisas del día a día.

Me gustaría ofrecer el espacio donde la gente pueda venir y reencontrarse con ellos mismos, y disfrutar y apreciar productos hechos con amor y cura. Actualmente estamos comiendo mucha comida basura, sin tener el conocimiento de ellos. Comida de “plástico” y superficial

Esta es la verdad del día de hoy, y además, la mayoría de los lugares en Mumbai son muy sucios. Para mi, las cosas esenciales de un cadé son la higiene, la luz natural del sol y el aire fresco. No hace falta mencionar unos aseos cómodos para hombres y mujeres. Sin éstas características, una cafetería no puede existir. Después de todo, las personas necesitamos una buena salud y consciencia. Por lo tanto, todas estas circunstancias tienen que venir juntas. Una higiene adecuada, un ambiente de paz y tranquilidad, y por supuesto, productos de calidad hechos con consciencia y amor, y servidos con amabilidad

No sé como puedo conseguir este sitio, pero solo tengo 30 días para cerrar la venta, y luego 30 días más para hacer el primer pago antes que se lo quede otro interesado.

Por lo tanto, todo aquél que esté leyendo este artículo en mi Blog, Facebook o twitter, por favor, os lo pido por favor… sin vosotros este sueño no puede nacer. Necesitamos ayuda!!! Cada gota que podáis aportar puede hacer este sueño realidad. Es en beneficio de nuestros niños de la calle.

Por favor, os estoy mendigando, ayudarnos a hacer este sueño de la cafetería UNA REALIDAD! Cada gota vuestra nos puede ayudar de forma muy positiva.

¿Cómo nos puedes ayudar? Puedes hacer una donación o darnos un préstamo sin ningún interés de entre 5 y 7 años. Os agradezco, des de todo mi ser, vuestra comprensión y amable ayuda. Todos juntos podemos hacerlo. Sé una parte de un futuro mejor de otro. Esto es para todos aquellos que no tienen una oportunidad. Con toda mi humildad,

WE FOUND THE PLACE AND WE NEED HELP !!!!!

Hello Everyone,

Good evening with big a smile.

I have to share good news and not so good news. As everyone know,  I have been looking for cafe place for the last 3 years to open this " dream come true". But it is difficult because of the high prices for housing in Bombay...and besides that no one has reached out to help with any financial need. Most people read the articles and just mention that they like what they read, but nothing more then that. 

Believe me if I tell you that its so difficult and not easy for me knowing that so many people know about the project, and wether they are in a fortunate and strong possision or not, not anyone came up to say; "Amin, let’s work together and find the way to make this cafe dream for real". There are a few ANGELS that gave all what was in their reach.They know and feel what the project is all about and share their empathy and love for it. They walk with me even though they live miles away, but at the same time close to the heart. Hand in hand they are making sure that I will never give up this objective, this dream cafe.This project of love for the benefit of these children who can have the opportunity to develop working in "their" dream cafe. Believe it or not, those friends who are with me on this project are with me from day one! These are the ANGELS that believe in the better.

  

I have found a place in Mumbai ,Andheri EAST  M.I.D.C. The price is around 20,000,000 Rupees, so in Euros would be around 300 thousand. I am giving the example in Euros because most of the ANGELS who have been helping me, are from EUROPE. 

After a 2 hours talk with the constructors/landlords they finally settled this price. The constructors do not really care for my motivation and intention behind the project. As businessman they only care about the money and they do not have the empathy to give me time and understanding to start this beautiful project. 

I like this place for many reasons, it is a calm place, green, and it can have a space where people can read  books in a calmness,   meet with social activities and events, like talks, conventions, have a coffee, tea  and a healthy snack quietly and peacefully and avoid the rush or running around all the time. 

I would like to offer to people a moment where they can come in touch with themselves and enjoy and appreciate the products they are consuming which are made with love and care. These days we eat without any knowledge about the products we consume. Its all so "plastic" and superficial.This is the way it is nowadays and also most of the places in Mumbai are very dirty. To me, the most important things a café should have hygene, and a good share of the sun light and  fresh air. Not to mention clean and comfortable mens and ladies washrooms. Without these characteristics, a café cannot come in existence. After all, what people need is  good health and mindfulness. Thus, all these circumstances should come together. Proper hygene,  peace and tranquil environment, and of course the quality of the products made with awareness and love to be served with kindness.

I don’t know how to obtain this place but I have only 30 days to fix the closure, and then 30 days more to make the first downpayment before the place gets locked out by someone else interested!!

Therefore, every one of you who is reading this article on my blog, Facebook or twitter, please please please...people, without you this cafe dream cannot be born. We need help !!!!!!! every little drop of help can make this dream come true. For the benefit of our street children.

Please, I am begging  all of you, help us to make this café dream A REALITY!  Every drop of your help can help us in a good way. 

How you can help?  You can make a donation or give us loan without interest for 5 years to 7 years . I thank you with whole my being for your understanding and kind help. Together we can do this. Be a part of ones better future. For those who otherwise have no chance. With humbleness,

Here you have my email add contact

Thank you

ARTICLE FROM MANSXP

Hello everyone,

Good morning with big smile.

After all the day being out here and there looking for a cafe place and helping some friends from Madrid and Barcelona in Bombay, I had just arrived home and my friend Deepak Zade met me and he told me "Amin bahi, there is an article about you in MANSXP". I have no idea what this site is, but I got a facebook message some days ago from a man called Aksheev Puri, the man i never met in my life, telling me that he was writing about me. It is nice from him that he is standing by me.

There are some mistakes in the article, but the most important is he wants to help my project and make this dream in real.

Thank you dearest Aksheev Puri to help us and stand by Bombay to Barcelona Library Café.

I AM BECAUSE OF YOU MANSXP and AKSHEEV PURI

GOOD NEVER DIES

JOAN FIGUERAS & AMIN 

SONIA CARDÓ

Hello everyone,

Good morning with big smile.

Today I am sad to let you know one angel has left us from this world, but at the same time I am happy to tell you  all how the goodness in this angel will be always alive with us. 

Let me tell you who this angel is  and how I met him. His name is JOAN FIGUERAS, he is from Catalunya, from a small village called LLORENÇ DEL PENEDES, near Barcelona.

He never came to india, I had never met him before in Catalunya (Spain) and as I always say, magic happens. Thanks to my friend Sonia Cardó, two years ago she gave my book to Joan and for the last two years he was trying to find the way to organise a presentation  in his village. Finally, he succeeded on 26th April 2015, and you will not believe, it was a magical day for me and my dream project. 

When I met him, the first time in his village with his big smile, he was super happy, with a lot of positive energy. I still remember his face, a kind man who can be never forgotten in my life. Thanks to him, who arranged this talk, I met many other good people in his village. 

The first one is SARA MAMPEL and her family and friends who have been helping me for my project. Sara is the one from that day that when she saw the poster of the talk, she called me through Skype and Facebook to know the project and started helping me after reading the book, thanks to Joan cause he gave her the book. The story doesn't end here, one friend of Sara, MERÇÈ FORTUNY and her daughter EILEEN, have been helping us a lot too. She is a teacher working in the same school as Sara. Both of them have been a magical light to my project because they tried to arrange many talks in schools to let children know about street children lives in other side of the world, so that, they can know how lucky and privilege they are. And not only this, because thanks to Merçè, all Merçè relatives arranged one talk in another village (Bonastre) and let all the village know about my project.

It has been magic, one unconditional drop can move so many other good things together. For this reason I say Joan is an angel who passed away yesterday, who has been sick and didn't say anything, he was just smiling and proud of all I was doing and while he was holding my hand he said to me that he wanted to come to Bombay. Now I know he was sick, I was waiting to see him but I didn't know I would not see him again. All what he did for my project, to let world know around him about it and make something in other side of the world what he had nothing to do with, it has been magic for me and my dream.

I am so proud of him, to have one of this angels in my life, in this life, because i do not believe in other life. Joan has put one light to my dream project, and his one light will live forever because he has lighted one good light  and now many lights have been lighted up. What can I say more about one person like Joan, who was nobody to me and became more than a family and angel in my life.

Care and love were things  what I missed the most in my childhood , now I have to carry on with this love and care for all Amins who can't be me and you. I am privilege to meet Joan and through Joan, I met all these angels who have been standing by me, supporting me, giving all their love and care that they can, and thanks to them I am carrying on with this project.

He is not with us anymore, but his spirit of goodness will live forever. I will pass all the good he has dropped in my life to other lives. Thanks is a very small world for your kindness and your goodness but all I say I will never forget you. You are like  a flower who passed on the joy and happiness to others....

I AM BECAUSE OF YOU JOAN

LIFE IS ALL YOU CAN GIVE TO OTHERS 

           

Hola a tothom,
Bon dia amb un gran somriure.

Avui m'entristeix comunicar-vos que un àngel ens ha deixat, però a la vegada em complau dir-vos que la seva bondat romandrà sempre viva entre nosaltres.

Deixeu-me dir-vos qui és aquest àngel i com el vaig conèixer. El seu nom és JOAN FIGUERAS, català, d'un poble anomenat LLORENÇ DEL PENEDÈS a prop de Barcelona.

Ell mai ha trepitjat la Índia, no l'havia conegut mai a Catalunya (Espanya), i com sempre dic,  va aparèixer la màgia. Gràcies a la meva amiga Sónia Cardó, ja que ella li va donar el meu llibre ja fa dos anys i des de llavors va estar intentant trobar la manera de fer una xerrada al seu poble. Finalment la va aconseguir pel 26 d'abril del 2015, i no us ho creureu, va ser un dia màgic per a mi i el meu projecte.

Quan el vaig conèixer era la primera vegada que el veia, al seu poble, amb un somriure d'orella a orella. Ell estava molt content, ple d'energia positiva. Encara recordo la seva cara, un home amable que mai oblidaré. Gràcies a ell, que va organitzar aquesta xerrada, vaig conèixer altra gent molt maca en aquest poble.

La primera persona és la SARA MAMPEL i la seva familia i amics, que han estat ajudant en el meu projecte. La Sara, des del dia que va veure el póster de la xerrada, em va trucar per Skype i Facebook per saber sobre el projecte i em va començar a ajudar després de llegir el llibre. Això ha sigut gràcies al Joan, ja que va ser ell qui li va donar el llibre. La història no acaba aquí, una altra amiga de la Sara, la MERÇÈ FORTUNY i la seva filla EILEEN, m'han estat ajudant moltíssim també. Ella és una mestra que treballa a la mateixa escola que la Sara. Les dues han estat unes llums màgiques per al meu projecte ja que han intentat organitzar moltes xerrades en diferents escoles, per fer veure als alumnes com viuen els nens del carrer a l'altra banda del món, i per tant, poder valorar el privilegi de viure en aquestes condicions. I no només això, perquè gràcies a la Merçè, els seus familiars em van montar una xerrada a Bonastre per donar a conèixer el meu projecte en aquest poblet.

Estic molt orgullós d'ell, de tenir un d'aquests àngels a la meva vida, en aquesta vida, perquè jo no crec en cap altra vida. El Joan ha encès una llum en aquest projete, i aquesta llum romandrà sempre viva perquè a través d'aquesta s'han encès moltes altres més. Què puc dir més d'una persona com el Joan, d'algú que no tenia res a veure amb mi i s'ha convertit en més que un àngel i familia a la meva vida?

La cura i l'amor són les coses que vaig trobar més a faltar a la meva infantesa, ara haig de continuar endavant amb aquest amor i aquesta cura per a tots aquests Amins que no poden ser ni tu ni jo. Tinc el privilegi d'haver-me trobat amb el Joan, i a través d'ell, he conegut tots aquests àngels que estan donant-me suport, cuidant-me, i donant-me tot el seu amor i cura, gràcies a tots ells continuo amb aquest projecte.

Ell ja no hi serà més amb nosaltres, però el seu esperit de bondat romandrà amb nosaltres per sempre. Transmetré tota la bondat que m'ha aportat a la meva vida cap a d'altres. Gràcies és una paraula molt petita per tota la seva amabilitat i bondat, no obstant, tot el que vull dir és que mai t'oblidaré. Ets com una flor que ha transmès l'alegria i la felicitat als altres.

SÓC GRÀCIES A TU JOAN
