Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh, one of the most recognized painters in history,
was born on March 30st, 1853, in the small town of Zundert,
Netherlands. Despite facing numerous challenges throughout his
life, van Gogh's artistic talent emerged early on. He experimented
with various styles and techniques, eventually developing his
distinctive post-impressionist style characterized by bold colors,
dynamic brushwork, and emotional intensity.
Van Gogh's life was marked by problems with mental illness and
personal turmoil, leading to periods of profound despair and
instability. Despite these challenges, he produced an extensive
body of work that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
Some of his most important paintings include "The Starry Night," "Sunflowers," "Irises,"
and "The Bedroom."
Tragically, van Gogh's life was cut short when he died by suicide on July 29st, 1890, in
Auvers-sur-Oise, France, at the age of 37. While he achieved little recognition during his
lifetime, van Gogh's legacy has endured, and he is now celebrated as one of the greatest
artists of all time. His contributions to the art world have left an indelible mark, inspiring
generations of artists and admirers with his unparalleled talent and unique vision.

Cutzamala recovery water system.

 In the small community of Azcapotzalco, water scarcity has become an increasingly
pressing issue. With prolonged droughts and dwindling water sources, residents have
been facing challenges in accessing clean and reliable water for their daily needs.

together to initiate a collaborative project aimed at addressing the water shortage.

sustainable solutions to conserve and manage water resources effectively. One key
aspect of the initiative involves installing rainwater harvesting systems on rooftops

groundwater sources.

water-saving techniques, such as fixing leaks, using water-efficient appliances, and
practicing responsible irrigation methods for gardening and agriculture.

engagement and cooperation by fostering a sense of shared responsibility for water
management. Residents work together to monitor water usage, report leaks or
wastage, and collaborate on further initiatives to enhance water sustainability in the

México

Mexico, country of southern North America and the third largest country in Latin America,
after Brazil and Argentina. Mexico is one of the chief economic and political forces in Latin
America. It has a dynamic industrial base, vast mineral resources, a wide-ranging service
sector, and the world’s largest population of Spanish speakers most of the typical features
of native people are dark skin tone -to a variable degree-, black hair, dark brown eyes and
not to tall. Mexico’s urban growing pains are in sharp counterpoint to the traditional
lifestyles that prevail in more-isolated rural areas. In states such as Oaxaca or Chiapas, small
communal villages remain where indigenous peasants live much as their ancestors did.
The cultural remnants of great pre-Columbian civilizations, such as Teotihuacán or the
Mayan pyramids at Chichén Itzá and Tulum, provide a contrast to colonial towns such as
Taxco or Querétaro. In turn, these towns appear as historical relics when compared with
the modern metropolis of Mexico City. Yet even the bustling capital city, which has been
continually built and rebuilt on the rubble of past civilizations, reveals Mexico’s wide range
of social, economic, cultural struggles and traditions as Day of the dead, Independences
day, three kings day, day of the virging of Guadalupe beteween others. As the renowned

5
Mexican poet and intellectual Octavio Paz observed. It is this tremendous cultural and
economic diversity, distributed over an enormously complex and varied physical
environment, that gives Mexico its unique caracter some of the typical food: the pozole,
tacos, mole with chicken, carnitas, barbacoa.
There is no official religion in Mexico, as the constitution guarantees separation of church
and state.
