Mid-West

We dream of a future where everyone can live well. Where we can feel the desire to be together and share ideas. Where we can also teach what unity is to the new generations — unity is healthy living. Unity is beautiful. Being united gives strength to overcome all challenges of justice, sustaining our future. We have achieved the dream of having solid homes, without relying on empty promises from politicians who never keep them, like the ones who promised us electricity that never came. The future depends on the outlook of our authorities. Our future is united. Just as hens take care of their chicks, our families have always taken care of each other. We want to keep alive this quilombola family tradition of welcoming everyone, where every child, young person, and elderly individual finds care and belonging. We dream of a world where everyone has the same rights, regardless of who they are, because today we live in a society where equality is not for everyone. We want this to be a place where people come to visit and we have something to offer, with a good place for visitors to rest, and with doctors for families. It is necessary to preserve to survive. In our future, there is preservation of forests, water, fauna, and good coexistence with nature, keeping with the chain of life. We had many animals here, even game, but with deforestation they have lost their habitat and have become extinct. We recognize that man depends on nature and on co-living with animals, which is balance. If they become extinct, man will suffer. We want to plant, harvest, and live in harmony with the nature that is part of life. We wish for everyone to have access to land and a place to produce our own clean and healthy food, avoiding artificial things. We want plenty of food, fruits, clean and renewable energy, living on a healthy planet. We want to be able to ride bicycles. Our future has what we had in the past, which is forest, water, and fun, and that today is no longer there. We want a future with seeds, education for everyone, unity, cared-for nature, technology for good, and hope for a prosperous future for young people, represented here by football, as well as for women in the fields. In this future, we do not forget our stories. We want to keep our dances, our foods, our celebrations alive, so that new generations know where they came from and carry the memory forward.
