CONNECT THE KUNTANAWAS THROUGH SATELLITE INTERNET

***update: when I started this campaign I was not aware that the Kuntanawas also need to pay the $800 private plane for the person who is going to install the satellite internet as it takes 1 1/2-2 days by boat to get to their village each way. We have updated this campaign goal to include this. XARA XARA! THANK YOU THANK YOU!


Access to internet for the Kuntanawa people, a small tribe in the Brazilian Amazon, has recently been cut off leaving them unable to communicate with the outside world. We believe the current Brazilian government has done this to remove them from the conversation about plans to rapidly deforest the Amazon, build a train in the middle of the part of the Forest where they live and block their communication with the outside world.

Haru Kuntanawa, leader of the Kuntanawa people says, "let's create a link to guarantee communication in order to integrate our people. Communication is sacred to humans and we need to guarantee our right to remain connected for the well-being of all our people and to make the lives smoother for those who live in the most isolated places like us. Communication isn't a luxury, it is a vehicle that helps us protect ourselves and the Forest!" 

The great Amazon Forest and her People are under intense attack right now from the current Brazilian government and companies seeking to profit from the Amazon. This Forest is not only for those who call it home, it is for the world as she helps to balance the Global Climate. 

The Kuntanawas who are one of the many groups of Forests Guardians are creating international alliances to help protect their People and the Forest but they need to maintain contact with the outside world to accomplish this. Their right to communication has been taken away and they need our help to get it back.

$2300USD is needed in the next week to install satellite internet in their village located in the State of Acre deep in the Amazon. Will you please help us?





O acesso para internet para o povo Kuntanawa, um tribu pequeno na Amazonia do Brasil, foi cortado recentemente deixando eles sem poder comunicar com o mundo de fora. Pensamos que o governo Brasileiro tem feito isso para tirar eles da conversa sobre os planos de desmatar a Amazonia, construir um trem no meio da parte da Floresta onde eles moram e bloquear a comunicação com o mundo de fora.  

Haru Kuntanawa, líder do povo Kuntanawa diz, "vamos criar enlaces para garantir a comunicação para integrar nossos povos. Comunicação é sagrado para os humanos e precisamos garantir nosso direito de se manter conectados para o bem estar de nosso povo e para suavar as vidas que moram no isolamento nas comunidades mais distantes como nos. A comunicação não é uma mordomicas é um veiculo de ajudar a nos proteger!"

A grande floresta da Amazonia e os Povos estão sob o ataque agora. Essa Floresta não é so para os que chamam ela de casa, é para o mundo pois ela ajuda a equilibrar o clima global. Os Kuntanawa que são um dos grupos de Guardiões da Floresta estão criando alianças internacionais para ajudar a proteger os Povos e a Floresta mas precisam manter contato com o mundo de fora para conseguir isso. O direito a comunicação foi tirado deles e precisam ter ela de volta!
 
Precisamos de R$9000 na proxima semana para instalar internet de satellite na aldeia deles localizado no estado de Acre. Nos ajudam?
