Sharing
Yesterday I "closed" my "workshops" where I create my articles and removed the content of the material that I was working on. I felt that I could no longer concentrate on creating and contributing articles to Wikipedia after everything that has been going on which has contributed to the disruption of my thoughts and has led me to question if my work here is worth it. However, today I received the following message from a member of the El Salvadorean Legislature and which will later be translated into English:

"'Hola, mi nombre es Lorena Varela, salvadoreña trabajo en la Asamblea Legislativa de mi país, colaborando con la Comisión de Salud. He leído lo que usted hace en su país, que es conservar y trasladar sus raíces a las nuevas generaciones de descendencia boricua fuera de sus fronteras.'"

"'Me parece una labor muy ejemplificante para los latinos que algunas veces viviendo fuera de nuestros países, se olvidan de donde vienen y para donde van, porque al perder nuestras identidades perdemos el rumbo de nuestras vidas; sí tenemos que aprovechar las oportunidades que se nos dan en otros lugares pero jamás olvidar nuestro orígenes.'"

"'Le deseo toda clase de bendiciones en su labor.' Atentamente, Honorable Lorena Varela"

"'Le deseo toda clase de bendiciones en su labor.' Atentamente, Honorable Lorena Varela"


 * English Translation:

"'Hello, my name is Lorraine Varela, a Salvadorian member of the Legislative Assembly of my country, collaborating with the Health Commission. I have read what you do in your country, which is to conserve and to provide knowledge to the new generations of the people of Puerto Rican descent outside their borders.'"

"'It seems to me that you do a very ejemplificante work for Latinos who sometimes living outside our countries, forget where they come from and where they are, because if we lose our identities we lose the direction of our lives; Yes, we must seize the opportunities that we are given in other places but we must never forget our origins.'"

"'I wish you all sorts of blessings in your work.' Sincerely, the Honorable Lorena Varela"

What this tells me is that I am accomplishing my goals to educate others with my work in Wikipedia and that my work has transsended the boundries of the US and Puerto Rico. Even though I have been discouraged to continue making contributions to the project, I wanted to share this with all of you because I want everyone to know that your positive contributions in Wikipedia are appreciated by many and that you can make a difference to a lot of people.
