The images below are from our trip to visit an indigenous community about two hours by boat from Alter de Chao, where we have been having our meetings the past few days. It was a beautiful boat ride and we got to spend the day with some beautiful people. They shared with us their stories and their culture which they are struggling to maintain.
The children waiting patiently
The children dancing
The dance weaves the ribbons together as the children dance around the pole.
The children dancing a dance in honor of a staple food of their diet farina
...and me on the boat on our way to visit
Vila Franca. It was about a two hour boat ride eachway.
These photos capture the vibrant youth celebrating their culture, which has so much to contribute to the global community!
