El 23 de junio, nos reunimos la familia, los amigos y conocidos y realizamos una oración colectiva por la Quebrada Chiniata, en Anolaima-Cundinamarca. Muchos de nuestros rios están contaminados con quimicos y residuos sólidos. Chiniata en lengua nativa significa “donde nace el agua”. Deseamos que nuestra oracion navegue por el rio y disperse su esperanza a todas las mujeres y hombres que producen la comida que consumimos. Quiere vincularse a proyectos similares de jubilo radical en tiempos dificiales alrededor del mundo.

 

On the 23 of June, we gathered with family, friends, and acquaintances and honored the Quebrada Chiniata, in the rural sector of Anolaima-Cundinamarca, with a collective prayer. Many of our rivers are contaminated with chemical and solid wastes. Chiniata in our native language means “where the water is born.” Our wish is that this prayer will sail through the river and dispense its hope to all the women and men in the farms along the way, who produce the food that we consume. Our ceremony is linked to similar projects of Radical Joy for Hard Times (Jubilo Radical en Tiempos Dificiales) around the world.
