Bunker Roy: Learning from a barefoot movement

Prevoditelj: Kristina Prebeg Recezent: Tilen Pigac - EFZG

I'd like to take you to another world.

Želio bih vas povesti u drugi svijet.

And I'd like to share

I želio bih podijeliti

a 45 year-old love story

45 godina staru ljubavnu priču

with the poor,

sa siromaštvom,

living on less than one dollar a day.

životom s manje od jednog dolara na dan.

I went to a very elitist, snobbish,

Pohađao sam vrlo elitno, snobovsko,

expensive education in India,

skupo obrazovanje u Indiji

and that almost destroyed me.

i to me gotovo uništilo.

I was all set

Bio sam predodređen

to be a diplomat, teacher, doctor --

da budem diplomat, učitelj, liječnik --

all laid out.

sve je bilo posloženo.

Then, I don't look it, but I was the Indian national squash champion

Iako, ne izgleda tako, bio sam indijski nacionalni prvak u skvošu

for three years.

tri godine.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

The whole world was laid out for me.

Cijeli svijet mi je bio na raspolaganju.

Everything was at my feet.

Sve mi je bilo na dohvat ruke.

I could do nothing wrong.

Nisam mogao pogriješiti.

And then I thought out of curiosity

I onda sam iz znatiželje

I'd like to go and live and work

poželio otići živjeti i raditi

and just see what a village is like.

na selu, samo da vidim kako je to.

So in 1965,

I tako sam 1965. godine

I went to what was called the worst Bihar famine in India,

otišao u Bihar, mjesto najgore oskudice u Indiji

and I saw starvation, death,

i vidio sam izgladnjelost, smrt,

people dying of hunger, for the first time.

ljude koji umiru od gladi, i to po prvi put u životu.

It changed my life.

Promijenilo mi je život.

I came back home,

Vratio sam se kući,

told my mother,

rekao majci,

"I'd like to live and work in a village."

"Želio bih živjeti i raditi na selu."

Mother went into a coma.

Majka je pala u nesvijest.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

"What is this?

"Što je ovo?

The whole world is laid out for you, the best jobs are laid out for you,

Cijeli svijet ti je na raspolaganju, nude ti se najbolji poslovi,

and you want to go and work in a village?

i ti želiš otići i raditi na selu?

I mean, is there something wrong with you?"

Mislim, što nije u redu s tobom?"

I said, "No, I've got the best eduction.

Rekao sam: " Ne, imao sam najbolje obrazovanje.

It made me think.

Natjeralo me da razmislim.

And I wanted to give something back

I želio bih doprinijeti

in my own way."

na svoj način."

"What do you want to do in a village?

"Što bi želio raditi na selu?

No job, no money,

Bez posla, bez novca,

no security, no prospect."

bez sigurnosti, bez napredovanja."

I said, "I want to live

Rekao sam: " Hoću živjeti tamo

and dig wells for five years."

i kopati bunare pet godina."

"Dig wells for five years?

"Kopati bunare pet godina?

You went to the most expensive school and college in India,

Pohađao si najskuplju školu i fakultet u Indiji

and you want to dig wells for five years?"

i želiš kopati bunare slijedećih pet godina?"

She didn't speak to me for a very long time,

Dugo nije razgovarala sa mnom

because she thought I'd let my family down.

jer je smatrala da sam iznevjerio obitelj.

But then,

Ali tada,

I was exposed to the most extraordinary knowledge and skills

bio sam izložen najneobičnijem znanju i vještinama

that very poor people have,

koje posjeduju vrlo siromašni ljudi,

which are never brought into the mainstream --

a nisu uvrštena u regularno obrazovanje --

which is never identified, respected,

koje nikada nije definirano, vrednovano,

applied on a large scale.

primijenjeno u širokoj upotrebi.

And I thought I'd start a Barefoot College --

I pomislio sam, osnovat ću Bosonogu školu --

college only for the poor.

školu samo za siromašne.

What the poor thought was important

Ono što siromašni misle da je važno

would be reflected in the college.

bit će preneseno u školu.

I went to this village for the first time.

Otišao sam u to selo po prvi put.

Elders came to me

Starješine su došle do mene

and said, "Are you running from the police?"

i pitali me: " Bježiš li od policije?"

I said, "No."

Rekao sam: "Ne."

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

"You failed in your exam?"

"Pao si na ispitu?"

I said, "No."

Rekao sam: "Ne."

"You didn't get a government job?" I said, "No."

"Nisi dobio državni posao?" -- Rekao sam: "Ne."

"What are you doing here?

"Što onda radiš ovdje?

Why are you here?

Zašto si ovdje?

The education system in India

Obrazovni sustav u Indiji

makes you look at Paris and New Delhi and Zurich;

usmjerava te prema Parizu, New Delhiju i Zurichu;

what are you doing in this village?

što radiš u ovom selu?

Is there something wrong with you you're not telling us?"

Postoji li nešto što nam prešućuješ o sebi?"

I said, "No, I want to actually start a college

Rekao sam: Ne, zaista želim osnovati školu

only for the poor.

samo za siromašne.

What the poor thought was important would be reflected in the college."

Ono što siromašni misle da je važno, podučavat će se u ovoj školi."

So the elders gave me some very sound and profound advice.

Onda su mi starješine dale vrlo jasan i mudar savjet.

They said, "Please,

Rekli su:"Molimo te,

don't bring anyone with a degree and qualification

ne dovodi nikoga s diplomom i kvalifikacijama

into your college."

u svoju školu."

So it's the only college in India

I tako je ovo jedina škola u Indiji

where, if you should have a Ph.D. or a Master's,

u kojoj, ako imate doktorat ili magisterij,

you are disqualified to come.

niste dobrodošli.

You have to be a cop-out or a wash-out or a dropout

Morate biti osoba koja je odustala, nije dovoljno dobra ili neobrazovana

to come to our college.

kako bi bili primljeni u našu školu.

You have to work with your hands.

Morate raditi svojim rukama.

You have to have a dignity of labor.

Morate imati dostojanstvo za fizički rad.

You have to show that you have a skill that you can offer to the community

Morate pokazati da imate vještinu koju možete ponuditi zajednici

and provide a service to the community.

i osigurati uslugu zajednici.

So we started the Barefoot College,

Tako smo osnovali Bosonogu školu

and we redefined professionalism.

i promijenili pojam profesionalizma.

Who is a professional?

Tko je profesionalac?

A professional is someone

Profesionalac je osoba

who has a combination of competence,

koja ima kombinaciju sposobnosti,

confidence and belief.

samopouzdanje i vjere.

A water diviner is a professional.

Osoba koja zna pronaći vodu je profesionalac.

A traditional midwife

Tradicionalna primalja

is a professional.

je profesionalac.

A traditional bone setter is a professional.

Tradicionalni kiropraktičar je profesionalac.

These are professionals all over the world.

Takvih profesionalaca ima diljem svjeta.

You find them in any inaccessible village around the world.

Naći ćete ih u svakom nedostupnom selu posvuda u svijetu.

And we thought that these people should come into the mainstream

I smatramo da ti ljudi trebaju biti dio regularnog obrazovanja

and show that the knowledge and skills that they have

i pokazati da su znanja i vještine koje posjeduju

is universal.

univerzalna.

It needs to be used, needs to be applied,

Potrebno ih je upotrijebiti, primjeniti,

needs to be shown to the world outside --

potrebno je pokazati vanjskom svijetu --

that these knowledge and skills

da su ta znanja i vještine

are relevant even today.

važna još i danas.

So the college works

Dakle, Škola djeluje

following the lifestyle and workstyle of Mahatma Gandhi.

slijedeći životni stil i princip rada Mahatme Gandhija.

You eat on the floor, you sleep on the floor, you work on the floor.

Jedeš na podu, spavaš na podu, radiš na podu.

There are no contracts, no written contracts.

Nema ugovora, nema pisanih ugovora.

You can stay with me for 20 years, go tomorrow.

Možete ostati sa mnom 20 godina, ili otići sutra.

And no one can get more than $100 a month.

I nitko ne može dobiti više od 100$ mjesečno.

You come for the money, you don't come to Barefoot College.

Ako dolazite zbog novca, nemojte dolazite u Bosonogu školu.

You come for the work and the challenge,

Ako dolazite zbog rada i izazova,

you'll come to the Barefoot College.

dođite u Bosonogu školu.

That is where we want you to try crazy ideas.

Ovdje želimo da isprobate i kreirate ideje.

Whatever idea you have, come and try it.

Kakvu god ideju imate, dođite i isprobajte je.

It doesn't matter if you fail.

Nije važno ako ne uspijete.

Battered, bruised, you start again.

Iscrpljeni, u modricama, počinjete ispočetka.

It's the only college where the teacher is the learner

Ovo je jedina škola gdje je učitelj učenik,

and the learner is the teacher.

a učenik je učitelj.

And it's the only college where we don't give a certificate.

I to je jedina škola u kojoj se ne izdaje certifikat.

You are certified by the community you serve.

Certificirani ste od zajednice kojoj služite.

You don't need a paper to hang on the wall

Ne treba vam papir koji ćete objesiti na zid

to show that you are an engineer.

kako biste pokazali da ste inženjer.

So when I said that,

Kada tako govorim,

they said, "Well show us what is possible. What are you doing?

kažu mi:"Pa, pokažite nam što je moguće. Što vi radite?

This is all mumbo-jumbo if you can't show it on the ground."

To su sve gluposti ako ih ne možete primijeniti u praksi."

So we built the first Barefoot College

Izgradili smo prvu Bosonogu školu

in 1986.

1986. godine.

It was built by 12 Barefoot architects

Izgradilo ju je 12 bosonogih arhitekta

who can't read and write,

koji ne znaju čitati i pisati,

built on $1.50 a sq. ft.

izgrađena je za 1.50$ po kvadratu.

150 people lived there, worked there.

150 ljudi živi i radi tamo.

They got the Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 2002.

2002. godine dobili su Nagradu za arhitekturu "Aga Khan".

But then they suspected, they thought there was an architect behind it.

No ubrzo su posumnjali kako iza svega stoji arhitekt.

I said, "Yes, they made the blueprints,

Rekao sam:"Da, izradio je nacrte,

but the Barefoot architects actually constructed the college."

ali arhitekti Bosonoge škole izgradili su školu."

We are the only ones who actually returned the award for $50,000,

Bili smo jedini koji su morali vratiti nagradu od 50.000$,

because they didn't believe us,

jer nam nisu vjerovali

and we thought that they were actually casting aspersions

i mislili smo da će širiti klevete

on the Barefoot architects of Tilonia.

o Bosonogim arhitektima Tilonije.

I asked a forester --

Pitao sam šumara,

high-powered, paper-qualified expert --

utjecajnog, visoko obrazovanog stručnjaka,

I said, "What can you build in this place?"

"Što možeš izgraditi na ovom mjestu?"

He had one look at the soil and said, "Forget it. No way.

Bacio je jedan pogled na zemljište i rekao:"Zaboravi. Nema šanse.

Not even worth it.

Nije vrijedno.

No water, rocky soil."

Nema vode, kameno zemljište."

I was in a bit of a spot.

Ostao sam malo zatečen.

And I said, "Okay, I'll go to the old man in village

I rekao:" Dobro. Otići ću do starca u selo

and say, 'What should I grow in this spot?'"

i reći:" Što bih mogao posaditi na ovom zemljištu?"

He looked quietly at me and said,

Smireno me pogledao i rekao,

"You build this, you build this, you put this, and it'll work."

"Izgradi ovo, izgradi ovo, napravi ovo, i uspjet će."

This is what it looks like today.

Ovako danas izgleda.

Went to the roof,

Otišao sam na krov

and all the women said, "Clear out.

i sve su žene rekle:"Makni se odavde.

The men should clear out because we don't want to share this technology with the men.

Muškarci trebaju otići, jer ne želimo s njima dijeliti ovu tehnologiju.

This is waterproofing the roof."

Ovo krov čini vodootpornim."

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

It is a bit of jaggery, a bit of urens

To je malo nerafiniranog šećera, urina

and a bit of other things I don't know.

i još nekih sastojaka za koje ne znam.

But it actually doesn't leak.

Ali krov zaista ne prokišnjava.

Since 1986, it hasn't leaked.

Nije promočio od 1986.

This technology, the women will not share with the men.

Ovu tehnologiju žene odbijaju podijeliti s muškarcima.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

It's the only college

To je jedina škola

which is fully solar-electrified.

koja se u potpunosti napaja solarnom energijom

All the power comes from the sun.

Sva električna energija dolazi od sunca.

45 kilowatts of panels on the roof.

45 kW solarnih ploča na krovu.

And everything works off the sun for the next 25 years.

I sve radi pomoću sunca slijedećih 25 godina.

So long as the sun shines,

Dok god sija sunce,

we'll have no problem with power.

nećemo imati problema s električnom energijom.

But the beauty is

No ljepota je u tome

that is was installed

što je sve instalirao

by a priest, a Hindu priest,

svećenik, hindu svećenik,

who's only done eight years of primary schooling --

koji ima samo osnovno školovanje,

never been to school, never been to college.

nikad nije bio u školi, ni na fakultetu.

He knows more about solar

On zna više o solarnoj energiji

than anyone I know anywhere in the world guaranteed.

nego itko koga znam bilo gdje u svijetu, garantirano.

Food, if you come to the Barefoot College,

Hrana, ako dođete u Bosonogu školu,

is solar cooked.

kuhana je pomoću solarne energije.

But the people who fabricated that solar cooker

A osobe koje su proizvele to solarno kuhalo

are women,

su žene,

illiterate women,

nepismene žene,

who actually fabricate

koje zaista proizvode

the most sophisticated solar cooker.

najsofisticiranija solarna kuhala.

It's a parabolic Scheffler solar cooker.

To je parabolično Sheffler solarno kuhalo.

Unfortunately, they're almost half German,

Nažalost, one su gotovo polovinu Njemice,

they're so precise.

tako su precizne.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

You'll never find Indian women so precise.

Nikada nećete naći toliko preciznu Indijku.

Absolutely to the last inch,

Apsolutno do zadnjeg inča,

they can make that cooker.

one mogu proizvesti to kuhalo.

And we have 60 meals twice a day

I imamo 60 jela dva puta dnevno

of solar cooking.

solarno kuhana.

We have a dentist --

Imamo zubaricu,

she's a grandmother, illiterate, who's a dentist.

ona je baka, nepismena zubarica.

She actually looks after the teeth

Ona se uistinu brine o zubima

of 7,000 children.

7.000 djece.

Barefoot technology:

Bosonoga tehnologija:

this was 1986 -- no engineer, no architect thought of it --

Govorim o 1986. -- bez inženjera, arhitekta koji bi to osmislili --

but we are collecting rainwater from the roofs.

skupljali smo kišnicu s krovova.

Very little water is wasted.

Jako je malo vode ostalo neiskorišteno.

All the roofs are connected underground

Svi su krovovi povezni

to a 400,000 liter tank,

podzemnim spremnikom od 400.000 litara

and no water is wasted.

i ni jedna kap ne propadne.

If we have four years of drought, we still have water on the campus,

U slučaju 4 godine suše, i dalje bismo imali dovoljno vode na kampusu,

because we collect rainwater.

jer skupljamo kišnicu.

60 percent of children don't go to school,

60 posto djece ne ide u školu

because they have to look after animals --

jer se moraju brinuti o životinjama --

sheep, goats --

ovcama, kozama --

domestic chores.

raditi kućanske poslove.

So we thought of starting a school

Pa smo se sjetili započeti

at night for the children.

noćnu školu za djecu.

Because the night schools of Tilonia,

Zbog noćnih škola Talonije,

over 75,000 children have gone through these night schools.

više od 75.000 djece pohađa te noćne škole.

Because it's for the convenience of the child;

One su prilagođene potrebama djeteta,

it's not for the convenience of the teacher.

a ne potrebama učitelja.

And what do we teach in these schools?

Što podučavamo u tim školama?

Democracy, citizenship,

Demokraciju, državljanstvo,

how you should measure your land,

kako biste trebali mjeriti svoje zemljište,

what you should do if you're arrested,

što biste trebali napraviti ako vas uhite,

what you should do if your animal is sick.

ili ako vam je životinja bolesna.

This is what we teach in the night schools.

To su stvari koje podučavamo u noćnoj školi.

But all the schools are solar-lit.

No, sve su škole osvjetljene solarnom energijom.

Every five years

Svakih pet godina

we have an election.

imamo izbore.

Between six to 14 year-old children

Djeca u dobi od šest do 14 godina

participate in a democratic process,

sudjeluju u demokratskom procesu

and they elect a prime minister.

i biraju premijera.

The prime minister is 12 years old.

Premijerka ima 12 godina.

She looks after 20 goats in the morning,

Ujutro čuva 20 koza,

but she's prime minister in the evening.

a navečer je premijerka.

She has a cabinet,

Ima svoj kabinet,

a minister of education, a minister for energy, a minister for health.

ministra obrazovanja, ministra energije i ministra zdravstva.

And they actually monitor and supervise

Oni zbilja upravljaju i nadgledaju

150 schools for 7,000 children.

150 škola za 7.000 djece.

She got the World's Children's Prize five years ago,

Prije pet godina osvojila je Svjetsku Dječju Nagradu

and she went to Sweden.

i posjetila Švedsku.

First time ever going out of her village.

Prvi put je otišla iz svog sela.

Never seen Sweden.

Nikada nije vidjela Švedsku.

Wasn't dazzled at all by what was happening.

Nije uopće bila očarana događajima oko nje.

And the Queen of Sweden, who's there,

I švedska kraljica, koja je bila tamo,

turned to me and said, "Can you ask this child where she got her confidence from?

okrenula se prema meni i rekla: "Možete li pitati dijete odakle joj samopouzdanje?

She's only 12 years old,

Ima samo 12 godina,

and she's not dazzled by anything."

i nije očarana ničime."

And the girl, who's on her left,

A djevojčica, koja je stajala s njene lijeve strane,

turned to me and looked at the queen straight in the eye

okrene se prema meni i pogleda kraljicu ravno u oči

and said, "Please tell her I'm the prime minister."

i kaže: "Molim vas, recite joj da sam premijerka."

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

Where the percentage of illiteracy is very high,

Tamo gdje je postotak nepismenosti jako visok,

we use puppetry.

koristimo lutkarstvo.

Puppets is the way we communicate.

Lutke su naš način komunikacije.

You have Jokhim Chacha

Imamo Jokhima Chachu

who is 300 years old.

starog 300 godina.

He is my psychoanalyst. He is my teacher.

On je moj psihoanalitičar. On je moj učitelj.

He's my doctor. He's my lawyer.

On je moj doktor. On je moj odvjetnik.

He's my donor.

On je moj donator.

He actually raises money,

On uistinu sakuplja novac,

solves my disputes.

rješava moje nesuglasice.

He solves my problems in the village.

On rješava moje probleme u selu.

If there's tension in the village,

Ukoliko postoji napetost u selu,

if attendance at the schools goes down

ukoliko se prisutnost djece u školi smanji

and there's a friction between the teacher and the parent,

ili postoji neslaganje između učtelja i roditelja,

the puppet calls the teacher and the parent in front of the whole village

lutka pozove učitelja i roditelja ispred cijelog sela

and says, "Shake hands.

i kaže: "Rukujte se.

The attendance must not drop."

Prisutnost djece u školi ne smije pasti."

These puppets

Te su lutke

are made out of recycled World Bank reports.

napravljene od recikliranih izvještaja Svjetske Banke.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

So this decentralized, demystified approach

Tim decentraliziranim, demistificiranim pristupom

of solar-electrifying villages,

solarno napajanih sela,

we've covered all over India

pokrili smo cijelu Indiju

from Ladakh up to Bhutan --

od Ladakha do Bhutana --

all solar-electrified villages

sva solarno napajana sela

by people who have been trained.

od strane treniranih ljudi.

And we went to Ladakh,

Otišli smo u Ladakh,

and we asked this woman --

i upitali jednu ženu --

this, at minus 40, you have to come out of the roof,

na minus 40, gdje smo morali izaći na krov,

because there's no place, it was all snowed up on both sides --

jer nije bilo mjesta, snježni nasipi su bili s obje strane --

and we asked this woman,

i upitali smo tu ženu,

"What was the benefit you had

"Kakvu si korist imala

from solar electricity?"

od solarne energije?"

And she thought for a minute and said,

Razmišljala je minutu i rekla,

"It's the first time I can see my husband's face in winter."

"Prvi put mogu vidjeti lice svoga muža po zimi."

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Went to Afghanistan.

Otišli smo u Afganistan.

One lesson we learned in India

U Indiji smo naučili jednu lekciju,

was men are untrainable.

muškarce se ne može trenirati.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Men are restless,

Muškarci su nemirni,

men are ambitious,

muškarci su ambiciozni,

men are compulsively mobile,

oni su kompulzivno mobilni

and they all want a certificate.

i svi žele certifikat.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

All across the globe, you have this tendency

Globalno postoji težnja

of men wanting a certificate.

muškaraca za certifikatom.

Why? Because they want to leave the village

Zašto? Zato što žele napustiti selo

and go to a city, looking for a job.

i otići u grad, u potrazi za poslom.

So we came up with a great solution:

Zato smo smislili odlično rješenje:

train grandmothers.

trenirati bake.

What's the best way of communicating

Koji je danas najbolji način komunikacije

in the world today?

u svijetu?

Television? No.

Televizija? Ne.

Telegraph? No.

Telegraf? Ne.

Telephone? No.

Telefon? Ne.

Tell a woman.

Reci ženi.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

So we went to Afghanistan for the first time,

I tako smo otišli po prvi put u Afganistan,

and we picked three women

i izabrali tri žene

and said, "We want to take them to India."

i rekli, "Želimo ih odvesti u Indiju."

They said, "Impossible. They don't even go out of their rooms,

One su rekle; "Nemoguće. Ne izlaze niti iz svojih soba,

and you want to take them to India."

a vi biste ih vodili u Indiju."

I said, "I'll make a concession. I'll take the husbands along as well."

Rekao sam. "Napravit ću iznimku. Povest ću i muževe s njima."

So I took the husbands along.

I tako sam poveo i muževe.

Of course, the women were much more intelligent than the men.

Naravno, žene su bile mnogo inteligentnije od njih.

In six months,

Kako smo u 6 mjeseci

how do we train these women?

promijenili te žene?

Sign language.

Znakovnim jezikom.

You don't choose the written word.

Ne koristite pisanu riječ.

You don't choose the spoken word.

Ne koristite izgovorenu riječ.

You use sign language.

Koristite znakovni jezik.

And in six months

I u tih 6 mjeseci

they can become solar engineers.

one mogu postati solarne inženjerke.

They go back and solar-electrify their own village.

Vrate se kući i solarno napajaju svoja sela.

This woman went back

Jedna se žena vratila kući

and solar-electrified the first village,

i postavila solarno napajanje u prvom selu,

set up a workshop --

otvorila radionicu --

the first village ever to be solar-electrified in Afghanistan

prvo selo sa solarnim napajanjem ikada u Afganistanu

[was] by the three women.

produkt je triju žena.

This woman

Ta je žena

is an extraordinary grandmother.

neobična baka.

55 years old, and she's solar-electrified 200 houses for me in Afghanistan.

Stara 55 godina, u moje je ime solarnom energijom opskrbila 200 kuća u Afganistanu.

And they haven't collapsed.

I nisu se urušile.

She actually went and spoke to an engineering department in Afghanistan

Čak je otišla porazgovarati s odjelom inženjeringa u Afganistanu

and told the head of the department

i rekla je šefu odjela

the difference between AC and DC.

razliku između izmjenične i istosmjerne struje.

He didn't know.

On to nije znao.

Those three women have trained 27 more women

Te su tri žene podučile još 27 žena

and solar-electrified 100 villages in Afghanistan.

i solarno opskrbile 100 sela u Afganistanu.

We went to Africa,

Otišli smo u Afriku,

and we did the same thing.

i učinili istu stvar.

All these women sitting at one table from eight, nine countries,

Sve te žene sjede za istim stolom, iz osam, devet zemalja,

all chatting to each other, not understanding a word,

sve međusobno čavrljaju, a uopće se ne razumiju,

because they're all speaking a different language.

zato što govore različitim jezikom.

But their body language is great.

No njihov je govor tijela odličan.

They're speaking to each other

Međusobno razgovaraju

and actually becoming solar engineers.

i uistinu postaju solarne inženjerke.

I went to Sierra Leone,

Otišao sam u Sierra Leone,

and there was this minister driving down in the dead of night --

a tamo je bio jedan ministar koji se vozio po mrklom mraku --

comes across this village.

i ugledao selo.

Comes back, goes into the village, says, "Well what's the story?"

Zaustavio se i otišao u selo, govoreći, "Dakle, koja je priča?"

They said, "These two grandmothers ... "

Oni su rekli, "Radi se o dvije bake ..."

"Grandmothers?" The minister couldn't believe what was happening.

"Bake?" Ministar nije mogao vjerovati što se događa.

"Where did they go?" "Went to India and back."

"Kamo su otišle?" "Otišle su do Indije i nazad."

Went straight to the president.

Odmah je otišao do predsjednika.

He said, "Do you know there's a solar-electrified village in Sierra Leone?"

Rekao je, "Znate li da postoji selo opremljeno solarnom energijom u Sierra Leoni?"

He said, "No." Half the cabinet went to see the grandmothers the next day.

Ovaj je rekao, "Ne." Slijedeći dan je pola kabineta otišlo vidjeti bake.

"What's the story."

"Koja je priča."

So he summoned me and said, "Can you train me 150 grandmothers?"

Pozvao me i rekao, "Možeš li istrenirati 150 baka?"

I said, "I can't, Mr. President.

Rekao sam, "Ne mogu, gospodine predsjedniče.

But they will. The grandmothers will."

Ali one mogu. Bake mogu."

So he built me the first Barefoot training center in Sierra Leone.

I tako mi je izgradio prvi Bosonogi centar za obuku u Sierra Leonu.

And 150 grandmothers have been trained in Sierra Leone.

I 150 baka je prošlo obuku u Sierra Leonu.

Gambia:

Gambia:

we went to select a grandmother in Gambia.

otišli smo izabrati baku iz Gambije.

Went to this village.

Otišli smo do jednog sela.

I knew which woman I would like to take.

Već sam znao koju bih ženu želio povesti.

The community got together and said, "Take these two women."

Zajednica se sastala i rekla, "Uzmi ove dvije žene."

I said, "No, I want to take this woman."

Rekao sam, "Ne , želim povesti ovu ženu."

They said, "Why? She doesn't know the language. You don't know her."

Oni su rekli, "Zašto? Ona ne zna jezik. Ne poznaješ ju."

I said, "I like the body language. I like the way she speaks."

Rekao sam, "Sviđa mi se njen govor tijela. Sviđa mi se način na koji govori."

"Difficult husband; not possible."

"Težak suprug; nije moguće."

Called the husband, the husband came,

Pozvao sam muža, on stigao,

swaggering, politician, mobile in his hand. "Not possible."

razmetljiv, političar, s mobitelom u ruci. "Nemoguće."

"Why not?" "The woman, look how beautiful she is."

"Zašto?" "Žena, pogledaj je kako je lijepa."

I said, "Yeah, she is very beautiful."

Rekao sam, "Da, veoma je lijepa."

"What happens if she runs off with an Indian man?"

"Što će se dogoditi ako pobjegne s Indijcem?"

That was his biggest fear.

To mu je bio najveći strah.

I said, "She'll be happy. She'll ring you up on the mobile."

Rekao sam, "Bit će sretna. Javljat će ti se mobitelom."

She went like a grandmother

Otišla je kao baka

and came back like a tiger.

i vratila se kao tigrica.

She walked out of the plane

Izašla je iz aviona

and spoke to the whole press as if she was a veteran.

i održala govor pred novinarima kao da je veteran.

She handled the national press,

Odradila je nacionalne novinare

and she was a star.

i bila je zvijezda.

And when I went back six months later, I said, "Where's your husband?"

I kada sam se vratio nakon 6 mjeseci, rekao sam, "Gdje ti je suprug?"

"Oh, somewhere. It doesn't matter."

"Ma negdje. Nije bitno."

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Success story.

Priča o uspjehu.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

I'll just wind up by saying

Završio bih time

that I think you don't have to look for solutions outside.

da mislim kako ne trebate tražiti rješenja izvana.

Look for solutions within.

Tražite rješenja iznutra.

And listen to people. They have the solutions in front of you.

I slušajte ljude koji imaju rješenja pred vama.

They're all over the world.

Ima ih diljem svijeta.

Don't even worry.

Nemojte se brinuti.

Don't listen to the World Bank, listen to the people on the ground.

Ne slušajte Svjetsku Banku, slušajte ljude oko sebe.

They have all the solutions in the world.

Oni imaju sva rješenja svijeta.

I'll end with a quotation by Mahatma Gandhi.

Završit ću citatom Mahatme Gandhija.

"First they ignore you,

"Najprije vas ignoriraju,

then they laugh at you,

onda vam se smiju,

then they fight you,

onda se bore s vama,

and then you win."

onda pobjedite."

Thank you.

Hvala vam.

(Applause)
