In Europa Sur this morning, a note about JimenaPulse and bBay. It reads as follows:

“I WANT TO GIVE BACK SOME OF WHAT I HAVE RECEIVED FROM JIMENA”

Of an English mother and Argentine father, Alberto Bullrich considers himself a ‘Russian salad’, alluding to his mixture, which he does with laughter. He owes his love for Jimena, where two of his children live, to his mother, who lived there for 32 years. He says that what he likes most about the village is its people and what he dislikes most is the incivility of some. Alberto has opened a new Internet website the only objective of which is charity. That is the idea behind bBay, which is different from others in that it is completely free, although a contribution is solicited to benefit La Estrella, the local handicapped association. Bullrich is adamant that he does not intervene in any transaction between buyer and seller.

Alberto is bilingual and understands that there are many foreign residents of Jimena who do not learn Spanish and do not participate in social activities in the community. Of course, he is grateful for how well his mother and he were received in the village. ‘The only thing I’m doing is to give back a little of the much my mother and I have received here,’ says the best-known translator of Jimena.

CAPTION: Alberto has English and Hispanic blood. Speaker of both languages, he has dedicated himself to translation but never stops creating projects that make Jimena bigger.
