The theme of the videoconference was the situation of the Venezuelan people in Brazil, mainly of the Indigenous people of the Warao ethnic group. The rather chaotic situation of the Warao people who are in the city of Manaus, and the better human rights compliance that the Warao who are in Boa Vista city are receiving, in great part due to the work of the Fraternidade.
Suggestions and requests were listened, both from the organs of the government and from the civil organs. “We perceive that this cause of the Venezuelan brothers and sisters is becoming more and more known to the organs of the government, and that we are somehow collaborating for a solution to arise for these people”, said Clara, a missionary of the Fraternidade.
