Another wichí malnourished children admitted to the Hospital Materno Infantil de Salta


This morning I arrived at the Mother and Child hospital in search of connecting with who may direct the Department of Nutritional Prevention of Salta, Oran and Tartagal. After leaving the hospital talked with two people who were Wichí in the village of Hospital.
I mobilized the fact recuerrente, that coming from so far away and not having relatives in the capital, slept on floors of corridors, without a place to stay to accompany her malnourished child, with minimal dignity.
This is the note that Alexander Ahuerma asked this afternoon in front of the Hospital Materno Infantil de Salta. Soon to be published:

manager resigned Tartagal Hospital and another child is malnourished wichí admitted to the Hospital Materno Infantil de Salta.

Given the encouraging news of the creation of three nutritional rehabilitation centers, given yesterday by this newspaper, arrived this morning the expected resignation of Chief Tartagal Hospital, Dr. Carlos Tapia, who yesterday denied a local media that the deaths suffered by children wichis in the last 15 days, were causes of malnutrition. He will be replaced by Dr. Viviana Brain.

Amid these name changes, the reality is hitting us. Mother and Child Hospital in the city of Salta, for 7 days, is hospitalized in intensive care
Efrain Ibañez, 5 months old. His mother says Guillermina Flores Second "It is desnutridito since birth." Now this internship because it was complicated diarrrea and vomiting.

Guillermina is accompanied by Abel Ibañez and both sleep in the living room floor of the hospital, where they receive breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner but have no place to be.

Recall that the provincial government on the occasion of closing the nutritional recovery room for the transfer of intensive care of the old Children's Hospital the Maternal and Child Health Hospital using the old promised to receive and accommodate families who travel from the interior of Salta to make caring for their children, which seems not materialized so far, when he spent more than two years.

Wilhelmina with her son Ephraim were transferred in the air ambulance, come from Mora Community News in Bolivia, are treated in the Hospital de Santa Victoria This is the closest, and where his family lives in Mission San Luis, but even if they were not told when to recover the child, to return by ambulance or how, and still be
between 3 to 7 days longer in hospital.

asked for help to the people, because here do not know anyone. solicit donations of food, especially milk powder for children, and adults because they travel and packaged beverage because they are far from home, cookies, sandwiches, or ready to eat things that may help. They also need to have a thermos of hot water and a milk bottle.

apply if someone has two large rubber bands to their homes. Women's Footwear number 37 and 40 of man, and clothes man and woman as hygiene items as they are with one change of clothes.


Guillermina believed to have about 40 years (do not know age), 6 children, the youngest in delicate condition, and a story of desolation and abuses of almost 500 years.

It is very likely that the neurological sequelae of malnutrition did not allow the interaction we had with other children their age. Is recovered, in weight, but the poverty in which they live keep it in a survival situation. Sometimes you do not eat. His mother is monolingual, speaking only Wichí and does not understand what we say, not what doctors say. His grandparents speak English. We show that they have no clean water, timber home with a ceiling of Nylon (plastic). Are visibly malnourished.

's grandfather is the chief of Quebrachal II, one of the communities that form Ballivián. It is hopeless to many unfulfilled promises. "
Those who come, never again " - tells us, and leads us to know "someone more knowledgeable " the organizer of the chiefs of the area is Jonathan Felix, a bilingual teacher with a complete view of what happens in communities Ballivián. Stresses the land shortage that caused the clearing for soybean production, and knows she can never return to hunt and gather food on the Mount to survive. So you want to work and training for people, for community members to become health workers, teachers and why not? one day, nutritionists, doctors and journalists who work for their rights.

recognizes the failure drinking water. In Ballivián no network system, only a 1000-liter jug \u200b\u200bis filled once a week, not enough to meet the needs of 200 families in the area.
"It is urgent to solve the problem of precarious housing. Years ago I heard there was a quota for housing. But the state does not build homes because the land Ballivián belong to the indigenous community" . Bureaucratic trap inconceivable. Jonathan calls for collaboration with building materials such as sheets and wood (which can be purchased in the same area, plagued by forest companies and soybean). You feel surrounded by soybean plantations reach less than 1 km home. He complains that " us as if we spray not exist." Known that glyphosate is a poison and which may generate health problems such as dizziness, fatigue, cancer and vision loss. He feels increasingly sees less. Not yet reached age 40, and has many lessons ahead.

In the school season, kids eat every day in the dining room. In the summer, they have to eat at home and the food is not enough: "
kids are anxiously awaiting the opening of school to return for lunch every day .

Jonathan tells us that since years ago communities have requested the presence of bilingual members in health care facilities. Many mothers in your area are monolingual and can not read and write. They do not understand what the doctors explain and show, and often feel poorly treated.
When asked how we can help, thanks us where we can collaborate, but adds that "even if they bring truckloads

food, it will be for a few days. But the problem remains the same. We want to work and dignity. We want better housing and clean water
.

Like all of us.

Virtual Table Top Warhammer 40k

Solidaria a Sachapera Guarani community, where children die from malnutrition and diarrhea. The socio-environmental situation is serious.

Friday February 11 we will travel to communities of the area Tartagal. It was urgent to leave the house, desk, be right there.

Guarani community "Mission Sachapera 1" is located just 3 km from the city of Tartagal, on a dirt road input dense communities of native peoples.

Photo: Mission Sachapera.

In recent weeks, suffered the death of 1 child diarrhea and dehydration, and have several children hospitalized for malnutrition. All completely avoidable causes in this century.
The chief, Salvador Guzmán received us graciously beneath a large tree, on a wooden table that they know how to build. He works in his field, but know that most members of his community are unemployed. He said that the soya plantations gave them work only in the early days for clearance, but now no longer need its workforce and left without salaries. Few families farms and have no problems with the territory, which is scarce.

Account
that diarrhea is a problem every summer, but never killed so many "[after the death
9
indigenous children in the north of Salta from malnutrition and related causes such as diarrhea They charge the life of Gerardo Vanegas, the tenth child
February 11
]. Salvador asks why this is so strong diarrhea, and suspicion, with consistency, the creek adjacent to their community, bringing down from the city and even household appliances trash into disuse, and inadequacy and even in many cases the complete lack of drinking water.

Pauline is the mother of 7 children and grandmother of 20 grandchildren. All live together in one house. One of his grandsons are with diarrhea, but improving. He leads me beside the creek, about 4 feet high.

Mission
"When it rains, it grows and eats the land is reaching the courtyard of some houses.'s always dirty in the city is throwing a lot of trash and slope brings everything back here. With the unbearable heat, the kids down to swim for fun and cool "- Paulina account. A few yards away, a child has melted down with a container for carrying water and cooling his feet in the stream.

Photo: Child Guarani carrying water in the stream of Mission Sachapera I

Pauline's granddaughter is barefoot like all children of the "missions." Has approximately 10 years and says that this stream is dengue, which they cleaned more containers from their homes, the stream makes them sick. How right!. Access to safe water and environmental sanitation are central to the health problems of children and adults.
Not all have water in their homes. Paulina's family does have a tap in your yard, but wary of the water because "sometimes it's cloudy and sometimes white and tasteless." Another neighbor says that the water does not reach them. Sometimes have to use other water, the stream to wash their pots and cooking utensils. Obviously, money can not afford to buy bottled water, and hot. A lot.

Salvador Guzman longs that doctors attend to their people in the community, rather than having long nights waiting for the weather to queue in the hospital, where they often do not reach the numbers for attention. Is committed to building its own lounge health, if the system provides them with health professionals needed to care for their community.

We note that in the dining room, the budget will reach only one week month, as food prices rise, so do not have enough to feed the kids, who spend a soup and more soup. They know that's not enough. He recalled that his father used to handing out the first two bags of maize crop for the whole community, and each family had played at least a dozen ears of corn. Regrets that now these values \u200b\u200bare lost, and feels: - "it seems that love us enough. "Ask for help with non-perishable food, and invites us to return to harvest the corn for inviting us humitas.


CIVIL ACTION: Together we can help in this emergency. We request donations of food not perishables (milk powder, cornflour, polenta, rice, noodles, canned goods) or cash contributions for the purchase of fresh food (eggs, meat). We also received donations of shoes for kids of all numbers, new or second hand but in good condition.

People who want to help, send donations to Santa Fe 544, Department 3 º "A". Salta Capital. CP 4400. Or contact us at email: or phone jujenita@gmail.com and 0387-4953114 0388-155899084.

arrange travel for delivery of the donations in March, to the extent we raise enough food.
Of course, thanks for the support for our original! The ideas that add to the welfare of this community will be met and welcomed.

Mariano Moreno and the room is no longer in the last thirteen days in Salta Wichí

Time Journal Argentino. Monday February 14, 2011.
Mariano Moreno
and the room is no longer

Mariano Moreno has an illustrious name, but I say "Mariano." He lives in the mission Quebrachal 2, General Ballivián outside, and a little more than two years had been assisted in the recovery room at Children's Hospital nutrition in the city of Salta, headed by Dr. Gladys Bolton and that the 2009 was closed by decision of the government of Juan Manuel Urtubey.

Mariano's case had been documented by a team Telenoche Research Program in April 2008. His mom still recalls the cameras, lights, next to a crying child. For some unknown reason, the production of Channel 13 never showed. Marianito continues to grow, but with the visible consequences of that malnutrition. He lives in the house of the chief Alfonso Olmos, who recounts the difficult situation in their community, where children are bathed in a green lagoon and where they have, for years, a pump to draw water from a well that a business left undone next to the lagoon. "We are tired of asking us to have installed water and power, but do not give us a solution. The boys are sick with diarrhea us more and we also need other driver for the ambulance people. When one is sleeping, the other right guard, because when emergencies happen, there is nobody to replace. "

7 children dead from malnutrition in the last twelve days in Salta (NW Argentina)

Journal Tiempo Argentino. Monday February 14, 2011.

Tartagal indigenous missions, victims of a "ethnocide" silent Published on 14 February 2011

For

Alejandro Ahuerma (from Tartagal)

For Argentine Time
In just over two weeks, the deaths of eight children of ethnic wichi in the province of Salta put back in the spotlight the drama of hunger in a region of the country hardest hit by poverty . Argentine Time visited the Hospital General Juan Domingo Peron, Tartagal, base of operations for an emergency medical operation ordered by the Governor Juan Manuel Urtubey and two indigenous communities that suffer from lack of access to the most basic health services and have recently suffered the irreparable loss of their children, in what might be called a silent ethnocide.

Sachapera were two of the eight deaths. Nearly three miles of the city of Tartagal, and a house by the roadside, within several blocks of mud, flooded by the rains, the chief Salvador Guzman distributed "social cards" among neighbors. He cites another element that so far has not been heard, according to the representative of the mission, the model soy seems to be oblivious to the drama.
"We just buried one of the boys, who died malnourished," says Guzman. Hunger is a lot here. We wichis Guarani and in this mission, and do not know what to do now, because the only reason why we are dying, our children's hunger. We, the elderly, suffer from the lack of work. Before we worked with wood, now with the cuts and soy plantations, but nobody gives you work for now picked by machine and force no longer serves us. Now we were delivering social card provided by the government, which is a 50 weight helps, but imagine if that's enough to feed a son. "Guzmán added
seems strange that the large number of infections and diarrhea boxes that were appearing in the community that were not common. Suspecting that the water is infected in some way, the chief said that the river that passes by every time they bring more garbage and waste in the city. Pauline, a neighbor of Sachapera, said that "water white out" with much chlorine odor. "You do not want to take it," warns the journalist.

The landscape of famine is the same in the mission Quebrachal 2, on the fringes of the town of General Ballivián, and also the same words the first to be heard: "We weary of so many questions and no solution. "Also, there died a boy.

Jonathan Felix, bilingual teacher of the mission, summarizes the urgent needs of the community: "Here we need sheets, the need for houses is high, only fifteen of the nearly 200 are well built, the rest is plastic roof. We also need to install the water pump. And remedies for the hospital, of course. But the main thing we need is for us to work. I am a bilingual teacher, but here we also need health workers who are bilingual and the community to know and understand our situation. "

Felix also refers to the rule of soybeans, and the fever that accompanies it: the agrochemicals. "Do not employ more laborers for the harvest, and chemicals, poison you take to the seed, water probably is harming us. Why can not we have so many problems with diarrhea in youngsters. Something is poisoning us. I, the age that I have, and although it may seem, does not reach the 30 -, I'm going blind. "

However, the core of the tragedy is hunger. "The little ones children and grandparents are the ones who suffer most, as usual, but even if they bring truckloads of food all together, this is not going to be able to just like that ever get. We want to let us work, let us restore dignity. We need urgent solutions and to build a community kitchen that provides basic food service to survive, "says the teacher.

Only when the sun begins to drop, the heat stops breathing a rare breath of fresh air. They say that the seven will get the doctor Urtubey, which is not the first time a governor comes to visit the mission. Félix do you expect the visit. "Nothing or almost nothing, and comes a little late. Hopefully be moved a little, at least, extreme poverty is found here, to see if they respond. "

"Malnourished Cultural Rights: the denial of responsibility by the Government, and the response of real experts

For
Long Diego

physically recovered from acute malnutrition, but drag neurological sequelae.

The death of seven children in communities driven from their lands in Salta recalls the drama of those who are not treated as brothers
In just twelve days, seven little girls aged between six months and three years died in the Department of General San Martín, north of the province of Salta. All belonged to the ethnic wichí and all died of malnutrition state in which they were. Most of the summer diarrhea was responsible for dealing the coup de grace.
"Last time we were news because we cut the route, oil wells, but who will now bring the children dying of hunger, brother? The child does not speak, do not puede decir tengo hambre, y son sólo los papás los que los están mirando y los tienen en los brazos hasta que se mueren”, interpela a Miradas al Sur, Eduardo Paliza, integrante de la comunidad wichí. Por eso, esta vez, la sorpresa fue que el tema se instaló en los medios. Porque, el año pasado, a esta altura, la cifra de niños fallecidos duplicaba a la de este 2011, y la del anterior fue aún mayor, y la del anterior, más. Así y todo, semejante espanto no mereció la escena mediática de aquellos años no electorales.
De todos modos, las explicaciones periodísticas aportaron más confusión que otra cosa. “La radio y la tele, que están acá a la vuelta nomás, say 'is a cultural problem. " Lie. "It's an Indian problem, '" complains Paliza. "They cut the thread as thin. If we had all the land, the river, fish, fruits, plants, not asked anyone anything. How will you make a mother with her children, if you can not get the fruit, or fish? Here in the north there are a lot of wealth on earth, but how come if everything is wired and you can not go because they put you shot or you get sent to the police? Begins to unravel Paliza
part of the problem. Perhaps the fundamental. At least for the communities, because all the chiefs were saying that the problem is unemployment, and This is directly linked to the expulsion of the original settlers, the occupation of their lands and the establishment of industries that generate very little employment.
"The department of San Martín boat starts and ends in Bolivia", says the citizen of Argentina and wichí. Are a hundred miles of road. To the east are the soy, every day the planes are throwing crap and poison, killing indigenous people every day. To the west, are the oil companies that poison all the rivers, land, and kill animals, and nobody says. We are 2 thousand kilometers, but the friend President must know the truth, "he concludes.
Zamora also Octorina Salta is wichí and aims to counterfeit, "The poor, indigenous people do not have access to decent work, we can not have the financial means to feed our children. They give priority to soybeans and strip us of our territory, our habitat. One of the biggest culprits of all this is the issue of debris, land clearing, there are many people trapped by vast areas of people who are not even place. There are many patterns that we do not know. " Octorina
adds that the 17 communities (Wichí quom Guarani) living in the boat and ran out of territories, also face flooding each time it rains. "On top, boat is in a transition zone between the mountains of Salta Yungas and Chaco arid, the only green lung we have." The provincial Water Resources Department issued a report "says that the boat people is at risk by clearing a landslide." Octorina was in August 2009 in Buenos Aires, along with another twenty Wichí, asking the Supreme Court to stop the logging. The Court was already aware, six months before Wichí seven caciques had participated in the hearing, together with provincial and national governments, the highest court had ordered to make way under which stopped for a while logging and land clearing in San Martin, Oran, Rivadavia and Santa Victoria.
Mind, tail and heart closed.

in the same place where babies are dying of hunger are the fields of Alfredo Olmedo. Soon accumulated about 160 thousand hectares. According to provincial sources, "going wrong, gives it a yield of 440 million pesos per year." Alfredo Olmedo son, now a deputy, said: "I am proud to be from the field and belong to a culture of work." But Salta say "no sweat is known, has never worked." The only activities in which it was before Congress and were Crocodile motocross racing and jet skis. The deputy ran in cleaner water for communities that bring from afar, in cans stored for days precarious and cause diarrhea. Summer diarrhea, normal for this time, altering intestinal absorption, resulting in the loss of water, minerals and nutrients. In young children, causes rapid dehydration. If not treated early severe consequences, including death.
The cultural aspect of the problem is also complex. On the one hand, members of communities realize Wichí discrimination they feel in the hospitals. On the other hand, or rather, the authorities should deal with the reluctance of native to western medicine. To make matters worse, the successful national plan to decentralize health workers and health care has its hesitation there. "The primary health care is the arrival of health workers to the territory, many of the community" describes Susana Tan, public policy specialist. "We had the health center, nurse, doctors were at the scene, but the province is now having a shortage of doctors in the public," he explains. The salary of a medical officer in the territory is paid about $ 7000. Gov. Juan Manuel
Urtubey launched an emergency plan with the intention to stop the spate of deaths. And in front of the plan put to Canela. Urtubey states that "if the activities we are doing is not enough, look for new and comprehensive strategies. If we find malnourished, far behind us the Ministry of Human Development, which has all the special diets food plans. We will be eleven nutritionists scattered communities, so let's work hard on this issue, "Tan is excited, and adds that there will be ten teams of specialists, academics and indigenous people who work" community by community. About forty people would be included to work in all the territory from Pocitos Pichanal up. " Canela
know "The problems that we face is not just about a problem of access to food, but with an educational process, with access to health, decent living conditions. All that makes a person and a family to change their situation of vulnerability and overcome specific problems such as this, "he said.
The Universal by Son also reaches these places to not even reach the water. Wichí some perceive it, but others are unable because they have no documents. Ana Inés Soruco Nutritionist Wynne is Jujuy, but works with communities in Salta. Emphasizes the mistake of not considering multiculturalism in the field of health and refers to the experience of Venezuela, Mexico and Chile. The trans-Andean South settled in the Mapuche "intercultural hospital where machis

, the Mapuche healers have a place in hospitals, working in partnership with traditional health workers."

The drama can not be hidden behind the multiplicity of factors that influence the problem, children die each year, which appear outside like an island.

How Much Do Aggressive Skates Weigh

on a recurring question: what would have been history if America's native peoples have not been contacted?

Will the governor of Salta thinking that malnutrition is a "cultural problem" after 9 deaths, they react to create a center of operations in an unused space by the state.

urgently seek 10 nutritionists to work in the area. Finally understand that necessary. But on the other hand, we can not work nutritionists, drinking water and ensure the violated rights of communities. The territory, water, food, culture, education, health, life.

But we can contribute far more than our role of nutritionists, with citizen action. Therefore, from this blog, and with the help of friends, began the urgent collection of nonperishable food to be delivered in Sachapera and Morillos communities most in need, that killed these children.
