“A village who knows their roots, defend their cultural identity”

“Men at some times are masters of their fates. The fault, dear

Brutus is not in our stars, but in ourselves.”If we propose to ourselves

strongly to be masters and leaders of our fate, we will have a chance to succeed.

If we fail, it will be our own fault, because we make our own decisions, and that influences our future.

Is it inevitable that the minority cultures will, indeed, get

smaller or even disappear?No, because of Matambú’s example. At the

beginning, the government did not help them, instead they subestimated them, and that made their language and even some of their culture disappear.

Later on, when the “Asociacion de Desarrollo de Matambu” began to

help them out, kids started graduating from schools and some went to the University. This proves that with courage, advice and help, you can finally succeed.

Are the inhabitants of Matambú powerless of their fate?

No, because now they the opportunity of getting an education.

They can graduate from school, high school, and even keep going up to the University.

All of it, is their own choice, so they have power over their own fate.
