Letter from a Wayuu woman
to the Colombian President Santos
Pancho, April 4th, 2012
JUAN MANUEL SANTOS
President of the Republic of Colombia
Bogota
Greetings:
I am writing to you from Pancho, a Wayuu village made of mud houses with zinc roofs, that exists on the right hand side of the banks of the Ranchería river, the only river in the Mid to High Guajira.
Tens of settlements exist in Pancho because we, the Wayuu people live throughout this dessert God gave us.
