El poder del trabajo comunitario | Juan Hincapié | TEDxSantaRosadelSur


[Applause]

thank you very much from my flowered garden

that went out to give mintur participate in

tdx talks representing the southern cone

I found myself on the road people with

much value that defends our land

with strength and a lot of courage

we are organized of many people a

heap to defend the mountainous

foreign exploiter who has a hand

retro with a devastating end to finish

with our fauna we have taken care of

until today

I was born in a very rich country where there

silver and gold

there is also the emerald the coltan and

the oil

as a child my dream was to have a

Well established cattle farm

different animals trees and it was like that

as in the year 98 I reached a

community that is called the garden arrives

to me or administrator of a farm

I already had some small savings and

this way in the year 99 I achieved then

buy me a land a farm

I started to work on it

finally I ended up riding a canteen

a business that manages to get good

income from this earned income

then I started buying animals and

was buying animals for the income

Besides that for work

additional for 2001 and look at that

established farm very similar as

they were in my dreams of her I have

part of my childhood dreams

made but

from one moment to another I felt that those

dreams were truncated in a moment of

armed conflict that the region experienced

from the south of bolívar

is there then when a group of

paramilitaries from Antioquia to the south

of bolívar move through these

territories and burn all the hamlets

that there is a two and three months

the communities

seeing that he has no other alternative and

fearing for his life simply because

we throw ourselves to the face

two days later

we returned to see what was left

Well sad because what we observe

six hits will be destruction and

desolation

we meet in a little old school

that was the only thing that we were left without

destroy and we start counting the

people to see who was missing

of the inhabitants of those communities

as God’s blessing we are all and

for us it was one of the most important achievements

important reflection

we reflected there that material things

economic is very important in the

society but there is something that we have to

rescue everyone and fight for that

and that first life without it there

I did not dedicate myself to community work

by much for many years in the year

2007 we made an integration of

different mining communities

sweeps and in an action meeting

community we met 57 families and it’s

there where organically then it is born

a social process which we proceed today

with five proposed goals within the

territory to work with it is the

first the community organization in

the territory

the second the legalization of the

organization

third the territory where we have

incidence as such

fourth the identity of us local

regional shield and no and flags and fifth

management at the national regional level

and international

It is there where we say then

because we defend because we defend the

because there is biodiversity there

because there is life the fauna the

flora and all its surroundings and we have

come doing with the holy river

Sunday community standards criteria

from the same communities defending

the permanence in the territory and the

life of the villagers

we have not allowed at any time the

backhoe intervention

they end up destroying everything in their path

we decided that we have to declare the

Serranía de San Lucas heritage

historical of humanity because to

she is the legacy of the new

generation of our our

settlers must find something there

then for this to happen

we have to fight between all and

keep clear that we have to have a

only specific goal and it’s first

the life

thank you very much
