A nuestra mesa de redacción ha llegado un correo desde Estados Unidos, que por la fuerza de su mensaje y la entrega por las causas justas en un paradigma de sociedad responsable ambiental y socialmente, reproducimos integralmente dicho correo:
On Thursday I leave for Panama on a ten day fact finding and international monitoring mission to help out the community where I lived which is being threatened by a hydroelectric dam. It is one of three being constructed by an American based company, AES. I started a blog so people could learn/stay informed about what’s happening and I hope to add photos soon. You can find that here:
I have also posted video in Spanish shot by Lucia Lasso featuring members of the community of Charco La Pava after they were arrested during a protest. Charco is slated to be flooded by the dam.
I posted a short piece of the above video with English subtitles featuring the inspirational Ana Castillo talking about why she is protesting. That can be found here:
The subtitles are quick. I apologize, but it’s been a little hectic at Dawn HQ lately.
Saludos,
