Priest Vilson Jochem has lived with the indigenous people of Delta Amacuro since 2005. There, he tries to help the inhabitants of those caños [branches of the Orinoco river delta] to weather the harsh conditions in which they survive, which have been made worse by an almost total lack of supplies and medicines.
The stigmatization of the Warao has hurt my people. That’s why I proudly introduce myself as Warao wherever I go. I am the founder of tanetanae.com, which is the first news website in Delta Amacuro. I am a “touristologist” and a journalist without a degree living in the school of the upside down world.
