Uruguay · Day 3Yamandú OrsiWhen a people is displaced, when a family loses its home, when young people can see no way out and their mental health is under threat, When a child grows up under the sound of gunfire, when millions of people live in poverty or without any opportunities, we can't stand indifferent to that.
Nor can we stand indifferent to the pain caused by a state of endless war, the fear and pain generated by organized crime or the constant threat of terrorism, the repression born out of tyranny or the suffering triggered by a rigid economic blockade such as that endured by the Cuban people.
We don't believe that taking one side or another in a war, confrontation or dispute necessarily contributes to resolving it.
