But there is hope, in the form of fellow Warao people, like Lucetti, who are stepping up to help their community navigate the difficulties of an unfamiliar culture. When Warao families arrive in Manaus, she immediately swings into action, walking the new arrivals through the process of applying for asylum and ensuring they are able to access such basic services as health care and schooling. She often accompanies families to government offices or to the consulate to help them overcome bureaucratic hurdles. By Felipe Irnaldo and Jenny Barchfield. Full Text -> UNCHR

Sin embargo, personas como Lucetti encarnan la esperanza, ya que hacen lo posible por ayudar a la comunidad a sobrellevar las dificultades que supone una cultura que les resulta extraña. Cuando las familias warao llegan a Manaos, Lucetti entra en acción de inmediato: las guía y acompaña en el proceso de solicitud de asilo, y procura garantizar que tengan acceso a servicios básicos, como educación y atención médica. Con frecuencia, Lucetti acompaña a las familias al consulado o a las oficinas gubernamentales para ayudarlas a superar los obstáculos burocráticos. Texto Completo -> UNCHR
