Reactions after finding the children alive
The discovery of the four missing children alive in the Colombian jungle continues to spark emotion and joy. “There are so many things they say the jungle has. We know that he has his goblins, his nouns, the mother mountain, that they are beings who care about the same thing as nature does, and that more than these children are pure aborigines.” Blood, they have no other vice than that she cares for them and protects them,” said Humberto Zambrano, Guaviare’s Environmental Officer
Meanwhile, Wilmer Alfaro, senior councilor for NASA’s community, also commented on the case: “We are having a moment of joy with the news that is being brought, the appearance of the four children.” It’s been a pause since they’ve turned up, we have long suffered with all the indigenous peoples to see that the children had to suffer in this jungle. It was a work in collective fellowship with all cities where we did spiritual work and well here are the results of the last work we did last night.”
