The Sater\u00e9 Mauw\u00e9<\/strong>
A visual narrative by Gary N. Will<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In March 2012 Riverside Community Church in Peoria IL sent a mission team to Manaus, Brazil. Working in collaboration with the locally based Ray of Hope<\/em>, Central Church<\/em> and Wings of Help<\/em> organizations, the mission’s purpose was to minister to the indigenous Sater\u00e9 Indian community of the Vila Nova village, on the Mara\u00fa lake, and also to supply humanitarian aid, as well as help to construct a new church building.<\/p>\n

I was invited to join the mission during my sabbatical. As well as ‘pitching in’ with the everyday activities of the team, and equipped with just a ‘point and shoot’ camera, (to capture the spontaneity of the moment), my main purpose was to visually narrate the characters<\/em> of Manaus, the rainforest and, in particular, the Sater\u00e9 people themselves (with an unapologetic biased towards recording the lives of the beautiful children of the village!)<\/p>\n
