<blockquote><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: right;">Dear friends and members of Eco Group,</p> <p dir="ltr" style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: right;">We would like to share with you all our pride of all the protection and support initiatives that are happening for the families in Favela Santa Marta. Congratulations to the community leaders and thanks to all friends. It’s true that people need to stay at home and avoid agglomeration. Otherwise, any of this effort would not matter. Santa Marta is a blessed Favela. Lots of people have been contributing with the food collection campaign and hygiene initiatives that are so needed to prevent against Coronavirus. The initiative of Thiago Firmino and Tandy, that brought sanitization to Santa Marta, is setting an example for other Favelas and demonstrates what the government should be doing.</p> <p dir="ltr" style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: right;">The protagonist role of residents‘ association, under the leadership of Zé Mário, has been reference to external donations and, fortunately, has reached a significant number of families in Santa Marta.&nbsp; We, from Eco Group, are also doing our part and complementing the support for the residents of Santa Marta. We took the responsibility to deliver 50 basic necessities kit, for 3 months (April, May and June). This Initiative is only being possible because of the support of Eco‘s friends group that is giving away their own money and mobilizing other friends to raise necessary resources.</p> <p dir="ltr" style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: right;">On this campaign, we decided to look closer to the local delivery workers that will receive necessary basic kit but will also deliver kits to the families in need. We know that the absolute majority of residents in Santa Marta need some kind of help. That is why we have to put pressure on our governments to guarantee our rights as citizens. However, in the meantime, we expand solidarity between us and help each other. We are in this together!</p> <p dir="ltr" style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: right;">PS: Residents’ association and Eco Group are working together in one single families ‘list, so the names will not repeat. That way, more people will have the benefit.</p> <p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: right;">Itamar Silva</p> <p dir="ltr" style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: right;">Representing Eco group</p> </blockquote>
