He used to work as a fisherman just like his father before him he would head out early in the morning to catch something for us to eat. He still comes out sometimes but there arent many fish left. You. He. Did. I was the only one in our family who went to church. Thats where they told us that the franciscan priest enrique philippe lock 8 discovered our village and named it San Francisco. He founded the 1st Christian Community in the peruvian amazonas region. Now all of us should people follow the teachings of christ. You.

A home run you thought it would run it was. Over as it is now. I was still a child when our village got electricity. Since then the nights are shorter. And. But it was like. Something you. What should die out and so in that area. In the past nobody could have imagined that there would be no trees left someday.

So that later on they will be able to take care of their own children and show them the right part that they would have equal people that dont believe. Playing these are difficult times for us. But we will manage. If the so. Whats on your mind you have. We like to go to the scene. Weve never seen the beach or the sea or the animals and i see wed like to go there lima so big.

Well see how much you put aside then and then mark its up to you. If you save enough money you can go. If not then its that simple but im not im when youre still young you still have to learn how to use a machete that month. Trying. To move. To news. In the. December. The rainy season came rivers overflowed and the end of the year approached. We had saved enough money to travel. The whole village prepare for the holidays. Means moralising goals from San Francisco who are responsible for oppy people who are of hope. But all we could think about was leymah. We hope that people there would treat us well. Good elements of the time has come you know come to discover the big city would. Live here in the village life is calm that its different in the city there will be no getting.

Im sure there are nice stones in there. That. Says. The magic. Moon. Leymah. We felt happy to have arrived but also a little fright. Luckily we were together in the city. Toppy told us that there had been a war in the rainforest some years ago many communities were destroyed back then just everyone here speaks spanish yes a lot of mistys as live here and the people from the rainforest they come here to sell their goods they come from far away. Many families were forced to try their luck in the city. They settled in the hills of contact i remember both when houses here are built on 3 levels and we believe that. This is where i live come on. We the people in the city dont like outsiders they hate us. Because were should be both. Yes they make fun of us. After a really. Good yes life here is difficult if you feel.

You should be able to see the National Stadium from here they always show that on t. V. Its the biggest stadium in the world no not in the whole world. But the houses are really close to one another. Thats how it is and try to go. And let them know the others have already grown used to living here but we havent its hard for us but. If they walk around as if everything were completely normal.
