Newborn twins<\/p><\/div>\n

Missionaries pay a visit to an immigrant who did not feel well at night, was taken to hospital by the military police and later returned to the Center of Reference for the Immigrant (CRI).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe gave fruits to her, as she was very weak. With the arrival of the monastics, we ask them to help her. Later on the same day, we referred the case for the team of the Roraima Labor and Social Welfare Secretary (Setrabes) of the shelter\u201d, said Alexandrina, a missionary of <\/span>Fraternidade \u2013 International Humanitarian Federation<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

A missionary of Fraternidade, accompanied by a member of Setrabes, went to fetch the mother and the newborn twins that were discharged from the maternity ward.<\/span><\/p>\n

A friar of the Grace Mercy Order<\/a> gave guitar classes and a missionary conducted artistic activities (guided drawing) with children and adolescents. There was also an activity with the women, who were with many requests of sewing in general.<\/span><\/p>\n

One collaborator in the kitchen caused an accident when opening a pressure cooker in a wrong way, which generated an explosion. The collaborator and two other people were wounded with burns. An ambulance was called, which took the wounded to hospital.<\/span><\/p>\n

A meeting was held with missionaries, Indigenous leaders, members of the Setrabes and of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), to talk about the education that will be offered at the public schools of Boa Vista for the Warao children.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the meeting, members of the Setrabes and of the UNHCR visited the space of the school of the CRI.<\/span><\/p>\n

Artisanship activity<\/p><\/div>\n

General Hospital of Boa Vista got in touch with the CRI to communicate that a patient that lives in the shelter had left the psychiatric Ward of the hospital without being discharged. The immigrant was not in the shelter and his family did not know where he was.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Volunteer of the Casa de los Ni\u00f1os (House of Children), the school of the CRI, asked for an updated census of the children who attend the classes. The objective is to make badges for the children. \u201cWe consider it to be an important initiative, because it is difficult to identify the children by their Indigenous names. It will be very important also when these children are attending schools outside the shelter\u201d, said Alexandrina. <\/span><\/p>\n

On this day the children of the school from four to ten years old were split into two groups and in two different hours. At the end, a harmonization of the place was done with the help of two children of the group of older ones and one of the group of younger ones.<\/span><\/p>\n

The request of diapers increased due to the growing number of babies in the shelter.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t
