17.12.2006 Per il Social Forum Mondiale di gennaio è prevista una gara con partenza dalle baraccopoli. Dall’Italia partiranno non solo persone ma anche migliaia di scarpette da corsa usate. Che in Kenya si corra non è una novità. Lo dicono ogni settimana centinaia di ordini d’arrivo in tutto il globo. Per non parlare degli almanacchi che snocciolano albi d’oro olimpici o mondiali. Ma l’appuntamento del 25 gennaio, in occasione dello svolgimento del World Social Forum, a Nairobi, è un’altra storia. Può essere pure che, fra qualche anno, una medaglia d’oro dei 3.000 siepi o dei 10.000 metri ci racconterà di aver cominciato a correre proprio nel lontano 2007. Ma intanto il significato della manifestazione sarà diverso: non conterà il “pochi” ma il “tanti”. Gli organizzatori parlano di 15.000 persone. Tre slum, tre bidonville, tre storie fatte da centinaia di migliaia di donne e uomini che vivono una condizione di vita lontana da ogni normalità, che si muoveranno verso la capitale, dov’è in programma il World Social Forum.
