Let’s support non-profit organizations to expand their network!

This website is a space where non-profit organizations can disseminate infos on their activities, and it is totally free of charge.

How does it work?

Subscribing at noprofeed.org the coordinator of a given organization fills in the registration form (for free), adding the link to its feed.
Noprofeed.org will first check infos provided by the organization and the feed contents; then it will publish them: from this moment on contents will be published on this site, but there’s much more!
Contents will be available to broadcasters who will publish them (for free) on their websites.

Who are the broadcasters?

Companies, organizations and persons who want to support the dissemination of non-profit organizations infos on their websites.

By installing a free script, called plugin, on their webisites they can publish automatically updates.
News will be shown in a “window” like the one you see on the right bar of this site.
So, the bigger noprofeed.org network, the better chances for non-profit organizations of disseminating their infos!

Just came in!

La preghiera di Gesù

22/05/2013 by San Carlo: Passione per la gloria di Cristo

1605230468_1cbd3d17c8_oI vangeli ci hanno descritto solo pochi movimenti fisici di Cristo e tra questi hanno privilegiato quelli del suo sguardo.
A volte alzava il capo e gli occhi sulla folla, sui discepoli o semplicemente su ciò che aveva davanti: come uscendo dalla sua concentrazione, rispondeva allora a chi lo interrogava, o prendeva la parola. Luca è il più attento a questo gesto, assieme a Giovanni. Ecco come lo ritrae, per esempio, mentre inizia il grande discorso delle beatitudini: Alzati gli occhi verso i suoi discepoli, Gesù diceva: «Beati voi poveri, perché vostro è il regno di Dio» (Lc 6,20). Oppure, nel tempio: Alzati gli occhi, vide alcuni ricchi che gettavano le loro offerte nel tesoro (Lc 21,1). E Giovanni annota, raccontando la moltiplicazione dei pani: Alzati quindi gli occhi, Gesù vide che una grande folla veniva da lui e disse a Filippo: «Dove possiamo comprare il pane perché costoro abbiano da mangiare?» (Gv 6,5). A Giovanni sono rimaste impresse nella memoria altre due occasioni. Quella della risurrezione di Lazzaro: Tolsero dunque la pietra. Gesù allora alzò gli occhi e disse: «Padre, ti ringrazio che mi hai ascoltato» (Gv 11,41). E poi la grande preghiera sacerdotale, durante l’ultima cena. Qui il gesto di Gesù esprime il suo essere proteso, spiritualmente e fisicamente, nel dialogo con la persona vivente del Padre: Così parlò Gesù. Quindi, alzati gli occhi al cielo, disse: «Padre, è giunta l’ora, glorifica il Figlio tuo, perché il Figlio glorifichi te» (Gv 17,1).
Perché gli evangelisti sono stati colpiti da questo movimento del capo di Cristo che si leva e indirizza lo sguardo verso l’alto? Perché i discepoli intuivano che, quando parlava, egli usciva da un raccoglimento permanente e traeva da lì le sue parole. Era con loro, ma stava con un Altro. Di qui veniva l’intelligenza e la pertinenza dei suoi interventi. Di qui anche la dolcezza, l’ironia, oppure l’energia e l’ira che di volta in volta connotavano le sue parole. L’unità con il Padre, la sua preghiera, lungi dall’estraniarlo, lo immergeva nella realtà con tanta più forza. Egli infatti viveva il presente con un’intensità pacata e straordinaria.
Ciò che Cristo comunicava era un tutt’uno con il suo rapporto con il Padre, con la sua preghiera al Padre. Io dico al mondo le cose che ho udito da lui (Gv 8,26), la verità udita da Dio (Gv 8,40). A volte la sua predicazione diventava spontaneamente una preghiera esplicita (cfr. Lc 10,17-22), ma tutta la sua comunicazione agli uomini, anche quando rimaneva oggettiva, manteneva la forma della preghiera.
Don Giussani ha scritto che «l’uomo consapevole», ovvero l’uomo cosciente della sua dipendenza da Dio, «è uno spettacolo», perché la sua dimensione spirituale investe la materia, «gli stessi dati fisici e biologici», e li trascina dentro di sé. Per questo, «quando l’uomo incomincia a diventare stabilmente uomo, comincia a esercitare un fascino che nessuno conosce di noi, tra i propri simili, perché è così raro». Questa è la promessa della preghiera: essere un avvenimento di profonda unificazione della nostra persona, attraverso l’abbandono a Dio, la disponibilità, la docilità di chi spera tutto da Lui. La preghiera ci trasforma.

Young Skopjans prepare for employment

20/05/2013 by Associazione Seed

the network exerciseToday was the last day in the joint ZIP + SEED program on “Boosting employability skills for young people in Macedonia”, funded by the Cantonal governement of Ticino. The day was led by Luca, and the group of 15 young people was very active and engaged.

After a summary on career management, we worked on social capital: the fact that you can find a job only if you have the “right connections” is not only a bad thing – it means that personal trust is still a value. However, the point is: what connections do I have and how do I improve my social capital? In the pictore, Arlinda and Suhela show their “network exercise”.

After that, two videos prompted the discussion about self-employment, one from the LETS project and one from the Universty of St. Gallen. Not only “ho wants me for a job”, but “what added value can I generate?”.

Tow and a half year ago, seed was active in Skopje on a program on entrepreneuship. Today, two participants of that program came as testimonials: Marija told us about her “double career” in education and sales, including a side-track on entrepreneurship; Nikola told us how he founded Eco Logic, a very active NGO dealing with environmental issues. That’s the best indicator of success of a program!!

The evaluation promoted the training week with flying colours. ZIP will now provide support to the participants in their job search. Again, a great energetic experience with young people in Skopje!
