Colombia’s public television broadcast video yesterday Sunday of the moment indigenous people found four children who had been wandering alone in the jungle for forty days after the crash of the small plane they were traveling in.
In the touching footage, taken with a mobile phone, the children can be seen, frolicking, with the youngest – one year old – in the arms of one of the rescuers. All four are terribly emaciated.
The people who rescued them, members of an indigenous guard, sing and smoke – the tobacco plant is sacred to the natives – thanking the spirits for their favor.
Invited to the set of RTVC, the public television, the group of indigenous people who found the children narrated what happened in the first moments of the rescue.
“The eldest daughter, Leslie, with the youngest in her arms, ran towards me. He told me ‘I’m hungry,'” said Nikolas Ordonies Gomes, a member of the group. “One of the two boys was lying down. He got up and said to me: ‘my mom died,'” he continued.
“We told them that we were friends, that they sent us, they sent us, the father, the uncle. How we were part of the family”, added Mr. Ordonies Gomes.
