I got confirmation that Juan Camilo Lema at Escuelab is the person to
contact in case you can help this community rebuild their community
learning space.

Email to juancamilo at escuelab.org

Hopefully some XO's can be delivered soon to volunteers " in situ".

Regards and blessings,


Laura Victoria

>>> 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

>>> Six years latter, and after all efforts made to translate Sugar to
>>> local languages like Quechua, Aymara and AwajĂșn, 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 :(
