nachrichten-heute.net: TARGET Rüdiger Nehberg - Indigenous child swallows coin

Rausdorf/Mato Grosso do Sul - Brazil (ots) -

Chief Dionísio from the indigenous Gurani-Kaiowá people in Brazil can hardly believe his luck at the inauguration of the infirmary built by TARGET e. V. Rüdiger Nehberg: "A dream has come true: We are receiving medical help directly on our land." The fact that two-year-old Tainara could be treated on the very day of the inauguration shows how important local help is. The coin she found and then swallowed had been stuck in her throat for days and the doctor was able to give her initial treatment before the inauguration ceremony.

The chief had fought and won. After many years of negotiations, he was able to reclaim 7,000 hectares of former Guarani-Kaiowá land for his people from the hands of the large landowners - an important step back to the origins of their ancestors. He is now building a future for his people here. The village of Arroyo-Korá on the border with Paraguay has 250 families. There is already a school. TARGET e. V. has built a health clinic in memory of its founder, adventurer and human rights activist Rüdiger Nehberg (deceased 2020), despite all the difficulties caused by coronavirus.
