To defend the Earth

When I was deciding whether or not to leave for Chile I confronted a friend, I had many doubts about how many volunteers there would be, the funds to carry out the project, the means, the team...all very uncertain and I kept thinking, thinking....The friend asked me bluntly, "Do you think it is important to be among these people?" and I said, "Yes," and he, again bluntly, "Then go!" I care about the struggle that I see many Mapuche do on a daily basis to defend their land and to claim their rights. I think it is important to give them a voice and to stand by them as Human Rights observers that is why I left and chose to live here, that is why I am asking for your help to be able to continue an international presence that is becoming more and more important.Please support the project by donating to my personal fundraiser or by opening, as I did, your own collection, that way we can multiply the help and get many more people involved.Thank you for what you will do.---You can also donate by bank transfer or postal bulletin.IBAN: IT04 X030 6909 6061 0000 0008 036POSTAL ACCOUNT: 12148417Both payable to: Pope John XXIII Community AssociationReason to specify: 22R017 Mapuche support

To defend the Earth

Fundraising by Fabrizio Bettini

When I was deciding whether or not to leave for Chile I confronted a friend, I had many doubts about how many volunteers there would be, the funds to carry out the project, the means, the team...all very uncertain and I kept thinking, thinking....

The friend asked me bluntly, "Do you think it is important to be among these people?" and I said, "Yes," and he, again bluntly, "Then go!"


I care about the struggle that I see many Mapuche do on a daily basis to defend their land and to claim their rights. I think it is important to give them a voice and to stand by them as Human Rights observers that is why I left and chose to live here, that is why I am asking for your help to be able to continue an international presence that is becoming more and more important.

Please support the project by donating to my personal fundraiser or by opening, as I did, your own collection, that way we can multiply the help and get many more people involved.

Thank you for what you will do.

The fundraiser supports the project: In Chile alongside the Mapuche people
Total project goal: 10.000 €

The Mapuche, an indigenous people in Chile, have been persecuted and ignored for years: the State does not recognise their existence or protect their identity. Deprived of their land of origin, they are forced to fight to get it back and are therefore victims of strong repression. The Community, with volunteers, supports them in this path of claim in a peaceful and non-violent way. Support them too.
