This is the column Who Makes Redes, a compilation of the stories of people who build our organization and who work hard every day to do what we do best: actions and projects for residents of Maré. Learn about these stories, trajectories, experiences and the history of Redes da Maré itself - and how this work and the challenges faced since the pandemic have transformed them.
For Kamila, psychology crosses all other activities that she develops, such as photography, her great passion. In the campaign Maré says NO to Coronavirus, Kamila managed to unite the two activities she loves. She began to work in the organization and distribution of food baskets and cleaning kits and in the typing of records, until she added psychology to photography in one action: the photographic records of deliveries and the collection of testimonies from families. “It was when I witnessed not only deliveries, but also stories”.
She keeps many moments about the pandemic and the campaign that transformed her. “Redes da Maré's work always has an impact on the territory, it always comes to balance some structures”. She believes that during this campaign period, people understood that Redes is not just a device located in a certain area of the favela, it is a welcoming place. Kamila points out that the organization was transformed to fight the coronavirus, “it was creating life and meaning” for the actions planned. “Redes is a mother”, she comments”.
In the future, she hopes that the most emergency demands of the population of Maré will be met. And recalls: “within this campaign I saw hunger screaming in a very strong way”. The “mareense” desire for a post-pandemic moment is that this hunger, which she saw up close, no longer exists. Kamila, let's go together!
