Leur histoire est vraiment triste… Voici un extrait de l’article que je trouve particulièrement touchant:

Juan Sosa lives in a small hut made of mud and sticks in a clearing in the forest. He speaks Spanish with difficulty and occasionally turns to a Toba translator for help as he describes how he recently contracted tuberculosis and prepared to die.

The tears run down his cheeks as he tells me of the arrival of food aid from the Nelson Mandela Centre which enabled him to build himself up and fight the disease.

All we want is respect from the government Juan Sosa

The mud and stick house he lives in has a straw roof and provides little protection from the relentless heat that batters Chaco province in the summer.

The tiny house is home to 16 members of his family.

Juan hugged me as I left, touched that anyone should be interested in his plight after so many years of neglect.

“All we want is respect from the government,” he said. “Nothing more.”

I later learnt that this man with almost nothing had offered to kill and cook a kid goat for us.
