More than words ...
This magazine - which I have been managing for more than four years - is alive thanks to the effort and love of its columnists, advertisers and readers, who rely on it as a project that goes beyond communication. Hueney shows Art, Culture and Tourism expressions in different ways, from San Luis to the rest of the country, and to the world. As I always say, making Hueney is possible because people around me are good and noble. Those who are not, exclude themselves from this project, and it is always the best they can do.
We have promoted concrete and effective actions since 2006. One of them has been the 2009 Art Walk, held in Potrero de los Funes. The Art Walk adopted the former scenic overlook as a permanent exhibition spot for artists and artisans. We have traveled around the country to make San Luis known (Córdoba, La Pampa, Buenos Aires, Río Negro, Chubut and Santa Fe). This month, we will be showing San Luis in Cuba.
We are read in Lebanon thanks to Ms. Greta Tawil, we are also read in English-speaking countries, thanks to the translations of Graciela Lucero Arrúa. We also have a very good response in Spain, through Inspiraction and our excellent correspondent, Lorena Avila Cantisani.
We have worked and put forward proposals and projects related to the promotion of our natural attractions. We have conducted projects aimed at benefitting the inhabitants of mountain villages together with Camtur and Foapra. We have taken part in meetings and supported environmental actions for the protection of native forests in San Luis and the country. The Act that protects the glaciers was passed thanks to our participation in the actions conducted by Greenpeace. We have also been part of Inspiraction’s initiative aimed at the relief of the external debt for Haiti, destroyed by an earthquake. We have investigated and reported the failures and losses that the careless passing of the Act that will force us to use low-energy lamps (National Act No. 26,473) will bring for consumers. We have reported the deforestation of the Natural Protected Area "Parque Nativo" (Native Park), and have submitted a sustainable development proposal. We have also conducted multiple drawings for products and services which promote San Luis.
Guía Hueney, together with Camtur, was considered one of the best representatives of Potrero de los Funes in tourism and communication matters by students of the School of Tourism and Communication from the National University of Córdoba, who conducted a field research work on this issue. Likewise, in our province, we collaborate with students of the Teaching Program on Physical Education from IFDC (Institute for Higher Learning)
"Juan Pascual Pringles".
Hueney is much more than words ... it is the sum of concrete actions that we perform independently, with no subsidies whatsoever. Hueney is only possible thanks to those who trust me and Hueney as a project.
Season’s greetings to everyone. I wish 2011 will be a better year, full of success and happiness.
I give you as a present a sentence I always say:
“It is worth saving love rather than bitterness because it is the only thing we will take with us when we die”.
