Para María Amelia y el Viejo Pescador


In the article published last week and written by Maruja Torres we are introduced to an old woman, María Amelia, and a group named El Viejo Pescador.
María Amelia was and old lady who at the age of 95 her grandson gifted her with a blog. She lived in a town in Galicia, Muxía. She passed away three years ago; however, during this period of time this lady did not stop writing in her blog for a day. She used this blog to speak to her friends and to entertain herself. She received a prize which was given in Germany and it is the BOB. Furthermore she was also recerived by the president of Spain, Zapatero.
El Viejo Pescador is a group which tries to incentivate the people to show their elderly how to use Internet. THey also want to promote the International Prize for Elderly Bloggers. The Viejo Pescador promotes this prize and to get people to show their elderly how to use blogs, use internet and so on.
