“The work in partnership with the Humanitarian Fraternity (FIHF) is very important, because what we are doing is providing a specific response to the indigenous communities of Venezuela, because they have their cultural specific characteristics, which need to be understood and need to be adapted, and our response needs to be focused so that we are in alignment with those characteristics of theirs.”

“I want to study, continue forward, complete high school. I have two little children and I want to be an example to them, because the most important thing is that they study; and it is also important to learn Portuguese, because by speaking Portuguese well and studying, we can get work.”

“When we are in a humanitarian response, we can’t always be strict about what we propose to do, which is to say, we need to be flexible in taking care of what is needed at any given moment.”

“Due to the complexity of the situation, because it is a very specific population due to cultural issues, we decided to focus [nosso trabalho] [our work] only on indigenous shelters, precisely seeking to improve the management of the shelters, with a more shared management, which enters into a greater participation of the community in decision-making; this is already happening today, but the proposal is that there should be an improvement in the management of the shelter with this focus.”
