UNIPAITER/Health and Safety support for the Paiter Surui indigenous people during Covid-19 pandemic
- English
The Paiter Suruí people is calling for help to keep the comunity healthy and safe during COVID-19 pandemic.
We want you to help us in the medium-long term. We want the help from everyone who is seeing us right now. Any help will be welcome. This is my request for you to help my people who are all in need of help, in isolation and afraid of being infected with the Coronavirus, all of whom are very afraid, as they are seeing many people dying all over the world. In such context, I believe you will understand the situation we are in. At this time, we cannot make distinctions to help people. I say it to all Heads of State, to politicians with mandates: It is because of our existence that this forest still exists and that it nurtures you and still maintains a stable temperature in the world. This is our contribution to the planet. We want your retribution. I live in Lapetanha Village.
Help us with food and personal hygiene products, and for those who can do more, in a medium to long term vision, make a larger donation so we can start a subsistence project. I say it to the Heads of States, to entrepreneurs and companies, to intellectuals and artists from all over the world. With this solidary human spirit put into practice, our spirit will be blessed with days of peace, prosperity, and without evils. If you can but won´t help us, putting our lives at risk during this pandemic, even before our time on earth, we as a people will only further infuriate the force of Nature. That's what I can tell you all.
We, the indigenous people Paiter Surui, from the indigenous land September 7th, are in great need of your help, of your contribution to help us buy basic medications and also food items, basic food, hygiene and cleaning supplies. Unfortunately, the pandemic of the new coronavirus - COVID 19 is affecting several villages of the Paiter Surui indigenous people. We really need your contribution at this moment so that we can face the COVID 19 here in our territory.
