The solidarity the center of the secoya community

Through my time with the secoyas I experienced some of the most fantastic mentality of solidarity i have ever seen. If a man is building a house or planting a field of corn, this is a job for everybody. And everybody is helping with their warmest smiles around their mouth. Feelings like this should inspire everybody with the same mentality and an interest in maintaining the old cultures, in the evermore chaotic and globalized culture landscape of today, to help.
The world can not afford to loose another culture like this.
Fortunately a lot of help is already coming. Political support to education in secoya language, documentation of old stories and legends and installation of solar panels in the community are all good and helpful projects.
