IN FLANDERS FIELDS

by John Macrae

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Thank you minister Gonzalo Ortiz de Zárate, cultural attache at the Embassy of Argentina for the pleasant networking breakfast to meet the work of the Argentine charity Monte Adentro | Asociación Civil and its inspiring leader Juanito Chalbaud.

We were impressed by their achievements and vision for such a big, remote and challenging area as the Gran Chaco and its communities.
Thanks Juano for the gift of handcrafts made by community artisans which we’ll raffle at our Christmas party.
