On February 6th, at 04:17, an earthquake of 7.8 magnitudes occurred in the Pazarcık district of Kahramanmaraş, Southeastern Turkey, close to the border with Syria. The quake was felt strongly in Kahramanmaraş and the Eastern, Southeastern, Mediterranean, Central Anatolia, and Black Sea regions. In addition, several Syrian cities, already severely affected by 12 years of war, such as Idlib, Latakia, and Aleppo, were also hit. The initial aim of the campaign is to support the Bulgarian volunteer teams going to help on the ground. At the moment, we also work with three local organizations validated by CAF International: Temel Ihtiyac Dernegi (TIDER - Basic Needs Association) - A food bank in Turkey that supplies food and water to the victims. For the victims in Syria, we will direct donations to MULHAM Gönüllüler YARDIM Dernegi (Molham Volunteering Team) - a student volunteer organization that started an emergency fund to support the victims and hundreds of volunteers are helping on the ground to rescue people in ruins. Toplum Gonulluleri Vakfi - a network of 16,000 currently enrolled volunteers. The funds will cover their needs when working in the field.

If Yanomami is ill, so is Planet Earth The Yanomami Indigenous Territory is the largest of its kind in Brazil and was established in 1992 by the government. The Yanomami people believe they are the guardians of the Amazon Forest - in the words of Shaman Davi Kopenawa: “there is only one sky and we must take care of it, if it becomes sick, everything will come to an end”. Last month, Brazilian government declared a public health emergency in the Yanomami Indigenous Territory. Shocking images of starving children and elders were made public, bringing attention to the tragedy caused by years of illegal mining in this region of Amazon. Protecting the rights of Indigenous and local communities, and strengthening their economies, is not just the right thing to do. It’s the smart thing to do. Indigenous people take care of forests better than anyone in the world, and we all need healthy forests to slow climate change. The Green Team Brazil created a fund-raising campaign to support the Yanomami people through the work of ISA – Instituto Socioambiental, a non-profit organization devoted to defend Brazilian indigenous communities and their socio-environmental diversity.
