Seine Tochter, Renate Kuby, hat den Kontakt gehalten und ist jetzt, entsprechend  der Familientradition, der &#8220;f\u00fchrende Geist&#8221; einer Kunstgruppe in Limburg,  Deutschland (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lahnartists.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.LahnArtists.de<\/a>). Nach einem Treffen zwischen Pietro und Renate  w\u00e4hrend des letzten &#8220;Ele D&#8217;Artagnan&#8221; Event in Amsterdam, haben wir entschieden,  dem ICBIE Projekt zu helfen. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">Aber was ist die beste Art f\u00fcr eine kleine  Organisation, etwas beizutragen? <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">Unser erster Schritt war, Pietro und Roy Zimmerman  w\u00e4hrend des Sommers in Rom zu besuchen und unsere Kampagne auf ihren  Beobachtungen und Analysen der Bed\u00fcrfnisse des ICBIE zu gr\u00fcnden.  Wir haben einen Flier produziert, und Limburg ist  jetzt auf das Projekt aufmerksam geworden.  Das hat 2 Folgen: erstens gibt es eine  \u00fcberraschende Zahl von &#8220;Brasilien Fans&#8221; (und nicht nur Fu\u00dfball-Fans) die  reagiert haben, und zweitens haben einige wundervolle Leute etwas Geld  gespendet, um uns zu helfen. Aber wof\u00fcr?  Sehr wichtig war die Entscheidung, ein oder zwei  jungen Menschen aus der Region eine Reise zum ICBIE zu finanzieren, um dort f\u00fcr  einige Wochen oder Monate mit zu arbeiten &#8211; und uns danach (und dem Rest von  Limburg) \u00fcber ihre Erfahrungen zu erz\u00e4hlen. Wir haben schon etwa die H\u00e4lfte der  Summe gesammelt und wenn alles so gut weiter geht, werden wir Pietro und Marlene  fragen, was sie von unseren Besucher(n) ben\u00f6tigen. Dann k\u00f6nnen wir passende  enthusiastische junge Menschen finden, die helfen und nat\u00fcrlich von solch einer  wundervollen Gelegenheit lernen m\u00f6chten.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">Ja, wir wollen auch die M\u00f6glichkeit des ICBIE als  Ort f\u00fcr &#8220;bewu\u00dfte&#8221; Touristen publizieren, und eines Tages ICBIE-Produkte als  &#8220;Fair Trade&#8221; verkaufen&#8230;.. aber wir wollen nicht rennen, bevor wir gelernt  haben zu gehen&#8230;  So, w\u00e4hrend wir hier den Spa\u00df unserer j\u00e4hrlichen  Kunstausstellung in Limburg genie\u00dfen, w\u00fcnschen wir allen viel Gl\u00fcck f\u00fcr 2008 &#8211;  in Deutschland, in Italien, und insbesondere in ICBIE in Brasilien!<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">Steve <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">PS: Wenn Sie die Kunst aus Limburg sehen m\u00f6chten,  <u><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lahnufer.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.lahnufer.de<\/a><\/u> tippen und dann &#8220;Die Bilder der Jahresausstellung 2007&#8221;  klicken (in dunkelgr\u00fcn links), und dann &#8220;Die Kunstwerke 2007&#8221; klicken f\u00fcr eine  Diavorf\u00fchrung! <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">PPS: Wenn Sie auch spenden wollen, hier ist das  Konto! <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">Lahn Artists e.V., 53529 4186, BLZ 510.500.15,  Zweck ICBIE.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">Und wenn Sie ihre Adresse per Mail schicken, dann  k\u00f6nnen wir eine Spendenquittung ausgeben!<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hallo Bahia, hallo Roma, hallo world&#8230;.
