EDUCATION:
Italian
'Godparents' Sponsor Children in
Paraguay
Cristian Núñez, a young
Paraguayan who has been
”sponsored” by an Italian family
since he was five years old, is
about to see his dream come
true: he will start studying at
the university in Asunción, the
capital of that South American
country, this month, with the
aim of becoming an electrical
engineer.
Framed photos of the 19-year-old
Núñez and the rest of his
family, who are poor, sit in the
home of Alfredo and Liliana
Menegaz, the young man's
”padrinos” or godparents, in
Rome.
This kind of ”long-distance
adoption” or sponsorship of
Paraguayan children by Italian
families began in 1990, on the
initiative of Italian Catholic
priest Atilio Cordioli, who was
active as a missionary in
Paraguay for more than 35 years,
and Gianni Elsner, who hosts a
talk radio show in Rome.
In 1990, Elsner dedicated one of
his programmes to discussing the
difficulties faced by children
in gaining access to and
completing school in Paraguay, a
country that he had visited
several times. He invited
Cordioli to the show that day.
