Laura of Colombian Indigenous Art | Beadwork | Storytelling Creations has been working non-stop with Lina, Embera Artisan, Leader, and member of the Unificado Indigenous Reservation of Embera Chamí families living in Pueblo Rico, Risaralda.
This week we sent them $812 USD (2,500,000 COP), their first aid from anyone, to buy groceries for the 14 families in the community. These are the first five pictures & video with Lina thanking you for your donations right before dividing up the purchased groceries between everyone.
They will be receiving another $1,000 USD (3,000,000 COP) today to purchase additional groceries and important medicines that many community members are lacking.
The next need that we will work together with the community to address is their water. All of their tanks that store potable water are irreparable - in ground cement tanks and plastic ones. Complete reconstruction of their in ground water storage will take some time, but soon large plastic tanks and barrels will be purchased.
We are grateful for all your support, and encourage you to keep sharing our GoFundMe with your friends and family! The link is in the bio of Colombian Indigenous Art | Beadwork | Storytelling Creations and Wild You Handmade
