28 January: We got to the site of the UFPA (Federal University of Pará) early that morning to set up the stand. The site is enormous and very well organised. The river draws a natural boundary in the east – the view is very pleasant, you can get on a little boat and visit the nearby islands.
The stand was set up in about an hour and the response has been great from the start. A good selection of Amnesty’s work is presented there and the petition and action post card on the two indigenous communities of Yaky Axa and Sawhoyamaxa who seek to recover their ancestral land has gained excellent support.
The language in which we communicate is ‘Portunol’ a mix between Spanish and Portuguese which we are all learning fast. “Amnistia Internacianal e un organizacao que travalla a los dereichos humanos no mundo.”
