According to Lu\u00eds Alberto, of the coordination team of the Joinville Light-Network, \u201cwith the worsening of the pandemic and the growing number of indigenous people infected by Covid-19, our objective was not just to take care of the indigenous people already infected, but also try to stop new cases.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through this group action, there were 152 basic baskets given to the Special Secretariat of Indigenous Health (Sesai), 90 kg (198 lbs) of rations, donated by the Balne\u00e1rio Cambori\u00fa Light-Network, and emergency kits for the isolation houses. The delivered kits contained mattresses, pillows, bedding and blankets for each of the houses.<\/p>\n
