On 8th March, our sister Nathalia Quintero Castro arrived in Cajamarca. Nathalia, of Colombian nationality, has been a volunteer in our Network since January 2017 and is part of our Central Team as responsible for the Technical Secretariat. Every year she comes to stay with us from time to time.
This time, she came for a month. A week after her arrival, an emergency was declared due to the pandemic. And she could not return. Until yesterday.
After a thousand and one incidents, she has finally been able to return to Colombia on a “humanitarian” flight.
Almost half a year she had to stay here, and how we appreciate her stay, and how we lament her departure!
Because in the end it has not been a mandatory stay: here are also her people and her house. And her cause.
We are so grateful for her vigor and her laughter, her exemplary gentleness, her spirited dedication, her tireless effort. For her communal learning, for her fruitful joining.
This stay is, in a small way, the certainty of a united Latin America; the collective sapling of a built tomorrow.
Thank you so much sister. We are already waiting for you.
Here a hug from many arms.
