On Saturday, February 7, Indigenous children from the Duraca community, located near São Gabriel da Cachoeira in the Amazonas region, received donations of books from the 'Coleção Mágica.' These books, which contain stories and knowledge from their indigenous culture, will be utilized within the community's school. This initiative was organized by a team comprising representatives from various organizations, including Cieam, Fieam, and the Council of Industry for the Defense of the Amazon, aiming to strengthen collaborations between local communities and the Armed Forces.

The donation event took place during a three-day mission focused on enhancing social support for Indigenous populations in Amazonas. Professor Maristela Silvano da Silva expressed profound gratitude, claiming that the donated materials signify a turning point for local education. With the acquisition of culturally relevant literature, the children now have the opportunity to engage more meaningfully with their heritage through education. This kind of support is particularly important for communities historically overlooked in education and resource allocation.

Luiz Augusto Rocha, the vice-president of Fieam, noted the significance of such contributions for the future of education in Indigenous territories, underscoring the need for lasting dialogue between governmental and educational institutions and local communities. By facilitating access to culturally pertinent resources, this initiative may pave the way for better educational outcomes while fostering a deeper appreciation and understanding of the Duraca culture among the younger generation.
