Generally, it is difficult to create a group that<br \/>\n it is based on a purpose that comes from outside. In this case, moreover,<br \/>\n  these were people who lived in a condition in which the<br \/>\nfreedom and dignity towards the simplest actions were denied and,<br \/>\nas a result, violent behavior toward others and the<br \/>\n  society.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\"><br \/>\n<\/span>  <\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span lang=\"CA\"><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\">Per<br \/>\n  to them, life in prison often requires them to face all<br \/>\nsituations individually, unrelated.

The prisoners who knew how to paint go<br \/>\nhelp those who did not know, and the same happened to those who did<br \/>\n  they knew how to sew.

One of them was anxious at the same time<br \/>\nshow your emotions to others. Others said they were not<br \/>\nable to do manual things, not even the puppet with the suit.

The story, however, reflects some of his<br \/>\ndesires such as freedom, friendship, love and work.

Thus, the<br \/>\nfirst show was titled <i>The Land of Never Again, <\/i>that was like saying: we dreamed with our eyes open, we imagined our dreams and desires, for we are here, in prison.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\"><br \/>\n<\/span>  <\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span lang=\"CA\"><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\">We can,<br \/>\n  therefore, evaluate the thesis for which the use of puppet one is attributed<br \/>\n  important therapeutic value.

He became ill at 2 p.m.<br \/>\nyears. He went through all the cycles of chemotherapy. At the age of 4 the<br \/>\ndisease went into recession, meaning there were no diseased cells<br \/>\n  in your body. He was in this situation for a year. Then he goes<br \/>\nhaving a relapse, the disease returned. He did it all over again<br \/>\nchemotherapy process while waiting for a bone marrow donor. The<br \/>\ndisease stopped for the second time but at the age of 7 he had the<br \/>\nsecond relapse. At this point it was necessary and urgent the<br \/>\nbone marrow transplant but no compatible donor was found.<br \/>\n The doctors decided that it was not possible to wait any longer and that the donor<br \/>\n he had to be one of the parents, though the percentage of the prognosis was not<br \/>\n Was good.
