Today, on June 26, a date chosen by the\u00a0United Nations (UN)<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0as the International Day Against Drug Abuse, we will speak about the activities done in the shelters with this in mind.<\/p>\n

\"Dia<\/a><\/p>\n

In a context unrelated to their origin, in which the\u00a0Warao<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0indigenous are at the Janokoida Shelter, created in 2017 to take them in, on the border with Venezuela, in Pacaraima \u2013 RR, to recreate practices that were part of their daily lives in the communities where they used to live became a challenge that the\u00a0Fraternity \u2013 International Humanitarian Federation (FIHF)<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>realized it should take on, since what had appeared to be a temporary shelter for immigrants has transformed into a relatively stable and permanent community, brought about by the lack of perspective for these people for returning to their country.<\/p>\n

Handicraft practices, traditional indigenous medicine, harvesting and cutting firewood for cooking typical foods, were some of the previous activities they managed to maintain in the shelter. These activities, in addition to preserving their culture and traditions, also encouraged the use of the occupants\u2019 time, especially that of young people, to avoid incurring the use of alcohol and drugs that idleness and a lack of perspective in their new life in a foreign country with another language, could bring in them.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
