** Support Indigenous Youth on International Day of Indigenous Women
------------------------------------------------------------
Meet Ñusta Sánchez. Ñusta is a 21-year-old Kichwa woman from Ecuador and a Cultural Survival Indigenous Community Media Youth Fellow.* For her fellowship project, she interviewed elders in her community about traditional art practices, midwifery, and medicine. Using a theatre workshop format, she brought youth, children, and elders together and recorded their conversations. Thanks to Ñusta, for the first time radio programs were produced about the traditional practices and knowledge of the Kichwa people and aired on Radio Publica Cotacachi.

“As a young Indigenous woman, I have a duty to recover and strengthen my culture, my customs, my language, my traditional clothing, and reinforce along with other brothers and sisters,” Ñusta says. Radio can generate dialogue between generations. By documenting and transmitting what she could into a radio series, Ñusta was able to showcase the beauty and knowledge of her people through sound. The programs she produced she transferred onto CDs and personally delivered them to the elders who participated in the projects so that they could listen to the final product.
To maintain and revitalize a culture and language it takes work and passionate and dedicated people like Ñusta. We are counting on you to continue your support of this important work. ([link removed])
September 5 is the International Day of Indigenous Women commemorated in honor of Aymara warrior Bartolina Sisa, who along with her husband Túpac Katari led an important part of the Aymara-Quechua rebellion against the exploitation and abuse of Spanish colonizers in Peru in 1780.
Today is also International Day of Charity observed annually on September 5 as declared by the United Nations General Assembly in 2012, we hope we can count on you!
