Turmeda Project: walking towards social integration and employment




Hannah Mitchell
Palma. / Year after year the first chords of the legendary melody nougat warns that the time has come. Time to go home for those who live far from hearth and home. And knowledgeable about our great fortune, we greatly look forward to the reunion and planned days of festivities, fun and thanks. Winners are those who can come under the mantle relative to the fire of the last remnants of December and the birth of the first illusions of January. back, back home ... for Christmas.
Fortuna. Long as whimsical. Far in these days of those who can not return home, or no longer have. Far from people facing an uncertain future in no man's land with few or no resources at the front and a long history behind it is well worth hearing. And is that more and more people, the island is not that wonderful place that says the song. Due to the worsening economic situation in our country are increasingly risky those who dare to try their luck on the island and face the cold winters in the open and a story of loneliness and streets, many streets. Many are immigrants who have been ever taking to keep their families here, some since their arrival, others suddenly. Head of household in the distance and the most terrible loneliness is a stigma that sometimes is the lack of fortune, and ends on which homeless shelter.
But at the end of Camino del Monasterio de la Real, draw the Monastery of St. Bernard, shelter and hope that comes and scares the slights of solitude when the sun goes down. Far from the hustle and bustle of Palma and adjacent to the estate of Can Valero rises downtown Turmeda social inclusion. Shelter for the left hand of fortune.

Turmeda, warm home away from home
Turmeda Downtown is a project included in the department of immigration and social inclusion serves host to immigrants from outside without resources. The ownership rests with Imas, a body belonging to the Consell de Mallorca and the Red Cross is responsible for its better management. The center is a temporary shelter program for newly arrived immigrants without resources or property that offers shelter and guidance of social, health, labor, legal and housing necessary to begin the process of adjustment on the legal and social inclusion Balear community.

Silvia, Elizabeth and Juliet are part of the project team Turmeda


Taking advantage of my stay in Mallorca and in the company of Elisabeth Cerrato (instructor of Turmeda) I turn to my appointment with Julia Morley , Red Cross social worker who gladly received me in the absence of the coordinator, Tatiana Ferrer Roselló. Surprised by the location and dimensions of the mansion, adjacent to the monastery where they currently reside continue providing cures I am informed masses. There are Christmas decorations in every nook and balloons hung in the huge dining room that reveal the last New Year's Eve celebration.
The center is completely empty. Are 12.30 "inhabitants of the home" part, as every day at 8 am, at 9 on weekends, and are not to re-open its doors to the 55-seat 18.00.Dispone, five of them for emergency cases that have been previously collected by the Red Cross mobile unit.
Turmeda Juliet explains that only offers basic accommodation and meals, plus advice aimed at social inclusion, and although at first, users could enjoy the services for a period of two months after the worsening economic situation recognizes that there are cases that their way of rubbing the year. According to data provided by the center in 2009 were 257 people (returning and new) that passed through Turmeda, at the end of this past 2010 figures are yet to confirm.
The school offers classes in Catalan and Castilian to users

A common profile and a long way to go
assessment team Imas, after Interview with each extra immigrant, specifies what type of profile matches and meet the requirements deriving it Turmeda center or other more specific benefits. The people at the center are strictly forbidden to consume, they must be of legal age and should be inserted at the working level. Aware of the rules and accepted the conditions, Juliet says that rarely had problems with any of the users.
Juliet Elisabeth team are part of the permanent employees of the center, for its part, Silvia Sanchez Cobos accumulation over a replacement. Along with the coordinator and three monitors meet every Tuesday to keep track of each case and the various developments. Initiatives of workers is to provide greater continuity to the Castilian and Catalan classes often taught to "inhabitants" in the hope of expediting their employment. Users also have a modest gym where you can unwind and exercise under the supervision of a volunteer monitor.

Users have new sheets and blankets every night provided by the center

While Elisabeth accompanied me on a tour of the facility said that food is provided by Imas, although the food bank in times provides them with food bonanza. They also have donations of clothing by Sfera and the owner of a shoe of Inca, which makes them get shoes in stock from last season.
" donations increase by Christmas, including a school has come to bring hot chocolate," said Julieta


contagious enthusiasm is reflected in the eyes of three young when I ask from personal experience. Juliet states receive more of what they can humanly bring to this project which is renewed every four years. Elisabeth on his part said that knowing the history of each a user has changed his personal perspective on how to see the world.
Within a year the foundation of the project out to tender again, and the center is calling for better accessibility to the village, the users must travel on foot to the outskirts of Palma to reach, and improving of facilities over the years reveal their age.
is important to note the work of Red Cross in the islands, and thanks to its different sites, including Turmeda is more than 8000 people have been able to improve their quality of life, albeit momentarily while waiting Fortune to return to position on your side.
