Abstract

The radio program discusses the situation of indigenous peoples in Vaupés through the voice of Rosa Elena Galvis López, a community leader. During the interview, Rosa Elena highlights the difficulties faced by her community, including the lack of government support, the precarious state of public services such as potable water and electricity, and the limited educational opportunities for indigenous youth. She also discusses the poor conditions of access roads and the deficiencies in the healthcare system, where interns rather than specialists primarily provide medical services. Additionally, she mentions the urgent need for student housing for young people who wish to pursue higher education in urban areas. Finally, Rosa Elena underscores the lack of recreational spaces for children and the impact of family abandonment in the community.
