Hummingbird
In 2014 Pino and Alessio, volunteers for the non-governmental organization “Amigos do bem estar”, passed through the Brazilian Amazonian forest and encountered the native tribe of the Wayampi, which live in the Amapà, in North-East Brazil. Here, especially among the children, malaria still continues to have a high incidence and toll. Two years later, Pino and Alessio, with the help of the Ministry of Indigenous Health and with the funds gathered in the meantime, decide to go back to the Wayampi village in order to build a medical center. During the trip and while waiting for the necessary authorizations, they do a stopover in the Oiapoque, a place on the border with the French Guyana, bringing humanitarian aid to other natives that live in Wacà area and getting to know the inhabitants.
