>> Back on 2010, during my first days at Escuelab-Lima as a Sugarlabs
>> volunteer, I had the opportunity to take pictures to the work of
>> Tuukka Hastrup, Kaisa Haverinen and Sebastian Silva, as they got about
>> 30 XO to the bilingual primary school of the CantaGallo Shipibo
>> community.
>>
>> Together, they got the local MinEdu office (Ugel) to provide the
>> laptops and the local school authorities to provide a room and time
>> for the training of the teachers.

>> Six years latter, and after all efforts made to translate Sugar to
>> local languages like Quechua, Aymara and Awajún, we haven't even been
>> able to start with the Shipibo language yet. Why, is a good question.
>>
>> As demand for oil, wood and gold increases in "developed" nations,
>> pressure for indigenous land rights has translated into violent
>> attacks, fires and even death of indigenous people. After two days of
>> fire, the CantaGallo Shipibo community is reduced to ashes. The school
>> (which was the only native language bilingual school in Lima) was
>> burned and probably all the machines are unusable.
>>
>> Today I understand that the Shipibos families, as it happens with many
>> other Amazonic nations, are pretty busy surviving in the land where
>> they stand and may just not have time or energy to sit and translate
>> Sugar strings :(
