Dona Maria
Xingu Basin, Amazon Rainforest, Brazil
“I like the river, the forest, the things we have here, because everything is plentiful.”
Amazon Rainforest local people’s Matriarch, Dona Maria, highlights her deep connection to the Earth and all that it provides for her united family. She and her family work to protect this climate-critical rainforest, which in turn supports a healthier, inhabitable planet for all beings.

In May, Health In Harmony Brazil began conducting COVID-19 vaccination expeditions in addition to regular healthcare expeditions, which brought AstraZeneca vaccine doses to Riverine communities living in remote areas of the Amazon Rainforest.
