Our expedition's safe return to La Paz
From
Apollo, capital of the province of Franz Tamayo, which is the last
outpost of civilization we completed the third version of the Expedition
Madidi initiated in La Paz on the 11th of September 2003.
Above
all, and as a part of the accomplished extensive objective, we want to
emphasize the arrival of the Expedition Madidi to the Milestone 26
Ichocorpa of the limit binacional Bolivia-Peru, a fact that occurred on
September 24 at the 8:15 a.m. "There,"
as it is evident in the testimony, “we have arrived at the beginning
of the 21st century to indicate that the borders must
join the towns and not to separate them”.
In
that sense, we want to thank the work and the solidarity of the local
authorities, the people of the community and settlers of Pelechuco,
Keara, Puina, San Juan de Hilo Hilo, Sunchulli, Lagunillas and Apollo
(provinces of Franz Tamayo and Bautista Saavedra, in the Department of
La Paz, Republic of Bolivia) and of Saqui and Sina (in the Republic of
Peru) informing them at the same time that without their contribution
and support, the Expedition Madidi should not be successful. Also
to keep especially emphasized the support of CARE- Bolivia for the thriving
culmination of the undertaking. Finally, we should notify all the
national authorities to improve the true politics of national
development for the region of Apolobamba and for the territory of the
Kallawayas. We have arrived at Apollo surpassing the blockade but facing at the same time the poverty, the abandonment and the forgetfulness in which our compatriots live. This situation must be changed. That is our assurance that we must continue. Viva the
Expedition Madidi! Viva La
Paz! Viva Bolivia! Apollo, 6th of October 2003 José
