Apurimac (Peru) Abandonment, poverty and pollution of rivers by mining

Much is spoken in Peru's economic boom, the boom in finance, economic growth, but little is said about the sad reality of a people abandoned by the Peruvian State in the Andes. We're talking about a people living in poverty, misery, despite his enormous wealth. Apurimac department whose etymology of his name in Quechua means "God speaking" was created on April 28, 1872 and has since abandoned, neglected by successive democratic governments and dictatorships in Peru. In the province of El Progreso, live 27, 574 inhabitants, its capital is Chuquibambilla. According to reports of its inhabitants, there are people who continually threaten to leave the place to relocate because they want to mineral exploration there. The residents claim that there is no hospital in his hometown, no urban sanitation, people live in shacks, spends a lot of hunger. The people of Apurimac are mostly farmers. Poverty and neglect that are, as well as lack of education and few opportunities for development, generating a vicious circle in which malnutrition is one of the most serious consequences. "The bulk of the farmers are subsistence farmers, mini parcel.

These families are in a situation of poverty and extreme poverty because they produce is not enough for subsistence

A large percentage of children under five years, especially those living in the poorest and most isolated communities in the country have already discovered the face of death, and those who will never be able to evade normal children, and they will never use their skills physical and intellectual to one hundred percent. The reason for this unfair diagnosis called chronic malnutrition, and is generated by the lack of protein and vitamins in the diet of these children. Again, the injustice falls on the most vulnerable, children in those communities suffer the consequences of ignorance, poverty and political neglect they have been exposed to their parents and grandparents for generations. What has been done by Apurimac Peru? In addition to exploiting the mines and take the riches of that people have not done anything, just look with indifference as starving, by default, this population undernourished. Where are the glass of milk, school meals, the construction of hospitals? Where are the kitchens, because they are given technical assistance, loans to cultivate more land? There is much to do, not just statements, false promises to care for them, but rather get down to action and start working on the CONSTRUCTION of roads, hospitals (non-medical posts) in electrification, for that town.

We boast about growth, development, progress of Peru, if we have our brothers Andean Apurimac, in the most terrible poverty and neglect. Worse, if we allow that threaten to throw them off their land, most mines to exploit them and not give them anything for the wealth extracted from there. Think of bringing development to those places, where more than secure, My Home, Roof Own, do not go, nor cares to go. Let's be fair, we help our indigenous brothers from the Amazon, but also those of our brothers ande.A Apurimac. Do not contaminate waters with mining waste, not doomed. The population of Apurimac, needs the help of the state, labor, electricity, water, roads. alviseg2008@yahoo.es
