Aiuto ai bambini sfollati del Tigray in memoria di Moki

Ciao, sono Monica Venturin e assieme ad Alessia Meneghin e altri amici stiamo raccogliendo fondi in memoria di Monica Reginato (Moki) per aiutare delle persone a lei molto care.

Moki era una appassionata viaggiatrice ed era una persona speciale: con un grande grande cuore.

Durante un suo viaggio, venne a contatto con la realtà del Tigray, una regione dell'Etiopia martoriata dalla guerra. Fece amicizia con Kiros, un ragazzo del posto che le fece scoprire le bellezze del luogo e i problemi delle persone che vivevano lì.

Tornata da questo viaggio, Moki continuò a sentirsi con Kiros programmando un suo ritorno in Tigray. Aveva pubblicato diversi post denunciando la difficile situazione in cui vivevano le persone, in particolare i bambini, dopo i recenti attacchi.

Questo è uno dei suoi post in merito:

"Guardate queste 4 foto:

Gabriel e' quello con gli occhiali da sole e kefiah in testa. Una volta faceva l' autista di ambulanze, poi è diventato autista della Wonders Ethiopian Adventure tour. Sappiamo di certo che hanno ammazzato il padre davanti ai suoi occhi. Di Gabriel poi non si hanno più notizie, non si sa più nulla di lui.

Il ragazzo con la maglia rossa è Mashallah. E' un diacono, ma faceva anche l' aiuto guida della Wonders Adventure. Guardate la foto. Gli manca un dente. Mi ha raccontato che era così felice di aver passato un esame a scuola da mettersi a correre lungo il greto di un fiume all' impazzata. Era scivolato e si era rotto il dente. A pasqua era vivo. In Tigray hanno ucciso circa 300 tra preti e diaconi. Ho letto attentamente la lista dei morti. Il suo nome fortunatamente non c'è.

Marry è una cuoca speciale, riusciva a fare la pizza nei luoghi più impensati. Sprizzava gioia da ogni poro della sua pelle. Guardate la piccola croce di legno che ha al collo. Quando ci siamo salutate se l'è strappata e piangendo l'ha legata al mio collo. A pasqua lei e la sua bambina erano vive. Oggi giungono notizie di stupri perpetrati a donne e bambini...

Kiros invece è il ragazzo con i capelli rasta. L'intraprendente titolare dell' agenzia. Lui sta bene, per il momento. E' in contatto con noi. Dal Tigray è scappato ad Addis Abeba, grazie alla generosità di alcuni coordinatori ed alcuni partecipanti di Avventure nel Mondo.

Gli aiuti che gli inviamo, lui divide con i sui amici tigrini. Quando gli ho inviato un contributo lui mi ha detto: "Non dovevi Moki, anche voi siete in difficoltà, c'è il covid in Italia!"

NON GIRIAMO LA TESTA DALL' ALTRA PARTE, FACENDO FINTA DI NON VEDERE.

E' in atto un genocidio in Tigray, non voglio un' altro Ruanda, vi prego, FACCIAMO RUMORE. Informiamoci ed Informiamo. Condividiamo. Gli Stati Uniti si stanno muovendo. L'Italia è ferma a guardare...

Moki."

Quando Moki ci ha lasciati, nello sgomento più totale, abbiamo pensato subito di fare qualcosa in sua memoria: tutta l'energia che aveva non poteva andare perduta! Ed ecco che desideriamo trasformare l'amore che lei aveva per tutti, (soprattutto per i più deboli ), i suoi sorrisi e quella sua straordinaria forza per fare qualcosa di concreto e dimostrarle che è ancora con noi, dentro i nostri cuori.

Questo è un video realizzato dall'amico Ambrogio con la raccolta di alcune sue foto più belle.

L'energia di Moki non andrà perduta, servirà a portare il sorriso a bambini e ragazzi che vivono in condizioni molto difficili.

Questa raccolta fondi servirà ad aiutare dei bambini/ragazzi che attualmente si trovano all'interno di IDP camp a Mekelle. Si tratta di un posto dove le persone sfollate possono stare ma in condizioni molto precarie.

Qui di seguito alcune loro storie raccontateci da Kiros.

Hello everyone, my name is Kiros Sltan Nera from Tigrai, Ethiopia. My deepest sympathy for the loss of your Moki I will hold the memories we shared together so close to my

heart. When I heard that from friends I felt bad and I couldn't believe it. I was waiting for Moki in Tigrai with my staff and I still have her voice in my mind. She was kind and helped people in Tigrai including myself. Moki``Yellow woman” was

promoting the Tigrai Trek and she wanted to help the children who lost their parents during the civil war in Tigrai.

There are millions of people displaced from western, eastern and southern Tigrai around Mekelle; among them there are many children whom lost their parents and are living in a camp without food, drinks and no schooling.

In my opinion, we give a name to remember Moki and help some of those children Name is” Moki the adventure” .

Our local travel agency will restart soon as possible and we want to put a Moki in our itinerary. The name of the itinerary is “Moki the adventure” We will write a itinerary program with her name and when tourist come to our travel agency will help to the community or children in Tigrai.
