Crash

It was passing the year of 2003, August, first fortnight of the month. The bustle was big around there on the sides of the Lagoa da Ervedeira-Leiria, carrying out in Portugal the first edition of the RoverWay 2003. The meeting of European Guides and Scouts it was passing well, inside our limitations and our potentialities. Very satisfactory for the European observers of the European services there present, WAGGS and WOSM organizations. For first edition of a project of Portuguese conception for young persons of the 16 to 23 years originating from the Atlantic to the Caspio, with around 40 countries presents.

To way of the 2nd period of the great activity, day 4 or 5, I receive a call in the cell phone of my friend C.R.. I know that it is out of the country in an activity of boy scouts, whose destiny was for Switzerland, accompanying the brother. Due to the bustle I did not even notice the touch and only more in the night inside I noticed of that.I thought even for with me, “something wants me C., you are going to see some doubt or curiosities of general culture which so much it likes and wants to explain with me the thing”. The intensity of the tasks and the daily occupation, of the shop RW and of the communitarian projects, does not leave me time any: it is to sleep, to eat and to work to resolve the small things of a camp with the own restrictions in Portuguese territory.

The next day did not leave me an instant calm between putting in order and messing up crates in the “tent of the Gypsy”, type sells at a fair of the thief, not where it was necessary to put the products of merchandising own, backpacks, t-shirts, s-shirts, caps, badges, anilhas, etc. Taking away that, the location was the best, the last small house of the left of the Central Square and near the Lagoon. The help of the Valdemar was precious, as well as of his companion. It had not been that and it was nor letting time to have lunch or to have dinner. We were taking turns to nibble at a few things around there, since the refectory of Field was distant and the time was short. We were struggling to break the daily records of receipts of the merchandising, one of the primary source of income where the Organization had bet strongly on the selection of the products.

One more beaten record and last one more night; new day and new toil. The piece of news was fast like the wind and devastating like the avalanche of a storm: ” I. had an accident and it is seriously injured in the hospital. ? “Where, where?” I asked, greedily. “Zaragoza, was in the highway”, said the C.A.S., “I do not know any more details, it was the C.R. that tied me”.
