In Panama, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Ecuador, ethnic groups and minorities are numerous and often very badly treated, with no respect for their ethnic and cultural values, ancestral traditions and languages or dialects. It’s high time to make their millennia-old presence felt in the midst of modern, industrial societies that do not spare their habitats or their subsoils, which are all too often massacred, exploited and violated. In our programs, we emphasize the discovery and human encounters of these different ethnic groups, not only through economic and monetary means, but through essential aid adapted to their living environment. This is achieved through specific requests ranging from simple school assistance to “artesian well” drilling workshops, the recovery of clothing and food, the installation of solar panels in remote areas with no electricity, as well as workshops for the repair of pirogues, motors and propellers, which are the vital means of transport for these ethnic groups, whether for traditional fishing or for transporting their own children to schools that are all too often far away. The participation of our visitors in these workshops enables a lively, effective and well-balanced exchange of ideas. Understanding their real needs. All too often, overly modern materials and equipment are merely ephemeral installations, as climates damage equipment that remains unserviced, unmaintained and lost forever. Help us to be relevant by working together to take swift, appropriate action.
