GIMCANA 2019

For many years, the international students of La Salle have had the opportunity to know Barcelona in a different and unique way. This year we had a record of 47 students who participated in this fun activity called La Gimcana.



We started in Plaza Catalunya where we gave the teams a map of Barcelona and the questionnaire of Spanish and Catalan Culture. They were given many questions and challenges to achieve in 3 hours around the city. They were teams of 4 - 5 people from different countries. In addition, this played as an opportunity for them to meet more people.

The winner would be the team that proved they achieved the most challenges and answered correctly to the questionnaire in the quicker way. Everything was valid for the teams to travel the city, they could use taxi, bus or any type of transportation and also any type of source to fill the questionnaire. The teams were given challenges, for example, "Take a picture with the oldest side of La Sagrada Familia" and also have a challenge in the other side of the city like "Take a picture with your hands up in front of La Catedral de Barcelona".

Even though one may think that with all the help they where given with their phones or with maps for them to win the Gimcana was easy, actually it is very difficult since they are in a competition with many other groups. Organization and teamwork is the what leads them to success. The prize of the winner team was 100euros in Amazon voucher.




Around 7pm, after running around the city, the first team to arrive was the Team composed by Andres, Gilbert, Ricardo and Gabriel. After their arrival, all the other teams began to arrive hoping for them to be able to win yet the winner was the first team to arrive with the most amount of points. The students enjoyed this activity a lot since they learned a lot about Barcelona and also that they were able to meet new people. 
Winning team.

  1. DR WILLIAMS CURED 7 YEARS AUTISM
    I am sharing this testimony for my daughter who suffered autism for 7 years. I am doing this, because I was her mother and caregiver  during her dark days and am very happy to share it so that others can be helped through  DR WILLIAMS HERBAL MEDICINE. It was a tough a battle for her; I was not actually the one who hard autism, but bearing the burden makes me understand what parents whose children and love with autism go through.
    Lesia now 19 and was diagnosed with autism at the age of twelve, for seven years, she fought against her diagnosis. I must admit it was never easy for us as a family; we had to constantly watch her, and answer questions that we couldn’t explain. On several occasions, she asked if she will ever stop having speech delay and get well like her school mates and be the best swimmer she dreamt of becoming. She was a very happy child; and had a ‘normal’ childhood and there was no suggestion that she would later on develop autism. 
    She refused to accept defeat and fought autism. She religiously kept to her medications in spite of their side effects. We all wanted a cure, so that she can chase her dream and live a normal life like every other child. But the more she takes these medications, the more her school grade drop. She couldn’t concentrate and we noticed that her memory was being severely adversely affected. Each time we went back to the hospital, her medicines were changed to a different one. Seems like, each change of drug brings about change in side effects. After about 6 years on   Abilify ,  Geodon  , and other medicines, it seemed the autism started to increase in frequency. I had to make effort to reduce her medicines with plans to eventually stop it all. We found an alternative treatment in homeopathy, which was better than her English drugs. Gradually, I reduced her drugs, and her autism were no longer as frequent as it was as when she was on conventional drugs.
    With our little breakthrough with homeopathy treatment, we made further search for natural cure. Fortunately we saw testimonies about herbal medicines which cure autism. We saw a lot of claims though, contacted them and didn’t get a useful reply. Lucky for us, we finally got a reply from Doctor Williams, he directed us to his blog where we saw a lot of information about his herbal medicine . Without further delay I made a purchase for her, I switched her over to it. We had great breakthrough, that in 3 weeks, her autism reduced. After 1 months as Doctor Williams promised , all autism symptoms stopped. It was like a miracle for us. since all this days now Lesia became autism free. Her story is quite lengthy, I hope it also help someone out there.for more information you can email Dr Williams on drwilliams098675@gmail.com
