INFORME ALTERNATIVO SOBRE LA SALUD EN AMERICA LATINAIn several cases, the same communities attendedto the collecting, in a common form through the "minga"(teamwork), of ways to settle the transportationexpenses.In light of the significant attendance of peoplewho did not belong to any ecclesiastic structure, andtaking into account the suggestion from a nun, thisevent was named "Laicrimpo Salud" (LaicrimpoHealth) ("lai" for "laical").After 1996, health and education workers, aswell as workers of various social promotion institutionsjoined these meetings.Despite having been suggested, the designation of"Laicrimpo" was not substituted for "Meeting of PopularHealth". People from the diverse communitieswould not accept it, in keeping with the idea that "elLaicrimpo ya es nuestro" (the Laicrimpo is alreadyours).During the last years the presence of representativesof neighbor countries Uruguay and Paraguaybecame constant.In Uruguay, after 2003, a similar event is carriedout, "Healthy Fair", which originated with the foundationof the "Informal Network of Popular Health." TheInformal Network of Popular Health makes explicit itspertinence to the World Movement for Peoples’Health.Representatives of other countries, such as Brazil,Ecuador, the United States, and Puerto Rico, addedtheir contributions to the last "Laicrimpos". From thevery first meeting, in 1990, there have been fourteenshared "Laicrimpos". This news, indeed relevant, acquiresa major dimension given the non-existence ofany type of financing, or nongovernmental organizations,foundations, or "organizational commissions"that could have been credited with the formation ofthese meetings. The Laicrimpos continue to be selfmanagedas the expression of an authentic popularmovement.With the purpose of understanding the developmentof these events, we allow ourselves to include asynthesis of the chronicle of the Meetings completedin the Province of Formosa, in the north of Argentina,from November 7th to 9th of 2003, under the slogan:Communicating among ourselves: the voices of theEarth summon us! ("Comunicándonos: ¡Las voces dela Tierra nos convocan!")."650 people coming from the Republics of Uruguay, Paraguay,Ecuador and fifteen Argentinean provinces participatedin the meeting. The abundant representation of theOriginating People of Pilagá stands out, as well as the artisticcontribution of the Originating People Toba Qom, bothfrom Formosa.After the arrival of the first groups, on Friday morning,the "experiences fair" was enthusiastically formed.In the sunny galleries of the establishment, colorful postersand pictures were displayed, and other eloquent samplesof what has been done locally in support of health.The joy and hunger of sharing, narrating and listening tothe diverse experiences were the constants in each group.Once more, the acknowledgement that "few are many"reinforced our sense of pertaining to a real World Movementfor Peoples’ Health!In the afternoon, that Friday, we gathered in an amplehall to share welcome songs, the voices of originating peoplesexpressing their feelings and sufferings and narrationsthat reminded us of the history of those events.On Saturday, in an atmosphere of enthusiastic participation,34 workshops were developed simultaneously, inwhich the subsequent subjects were worked at:Plants, Bio-energetics Method, Bio-music, Gemoterapia,Art of Breathing, HealthArt, Domestic Uses of SolarEnergy, Local Policies of Sustainable Development, AgroecologicalOrchard, Micro doses, Mental Heath, Dentaland Oropharyngeal Health,Therapeutic Gymnastics, PilagáCulture, Pilagá Own System of Health, Digiti-puncture,Reflexology, Massages, Holistic Kinesthesiology/Kinesio-244
Observatorio Latinoamericano de Salud.logy, Club ODH (Obese, Diabetics, and Hypertensioned),Cooperative Games, Habitat and Health, Home Homeopathy,Video Debate, Child to Child Program, Urohealth,Healthy Nutrition, Communication, Mapuche Art, AntiqueKnowledge.The sole fact of the enunciation of these themes givesan idea of the integral conception of health, enriched bythe valuable contributions of the originating peoples andpeasant communities.The meeting closed with the traditional "bonfire" Saturdaynight and the following Sunday morning, when the distinctgroups presented their conclusions and the proposalsthat had been elaborated during the workshops.After the commitment to meet the next year in El Dorado,Misiones,Argentina, we enjoyed listening to the voicesof the Young Choir of the Qom People and the contagiousjoy of the Uruguayan delegation, who offered us originalsongs. We said good-bye expressing the jubilation of theMeeting, and with the certainty of having renovated theenthusiasm in being the artisans of this Other PossibleWorld that is already beginning to show."The following table intends to provide a historicaloverview of these meetings.These meetings are annual manifestations ofwhat happens daily within multitudes of microphysicalspaces, as much in remote rural parts as in poor districtsof large cities.ENCUENTROAÑOLEMALUGAR11990Realidad SanitariaPosadas, Misiones21991Plantas MedicinalesAvellaneda, Santa Fe31992Hierbas MedicinalesEldorado, Misiones41993Líneas de Trabajo para un Proyecto de Salud PopularResistencia, Chaco51995Nutrición y Alimentación AlternativaPosadas, Misiones61996Salud en Manos de la ComunidadSan Pedro, Misiones71997Salud en Manos de la ComunidadMontecarlo, Misiones81998Salud en Manos de la ComunidadReconquista, Santa Fe91999Salud en Manos de la ComunidadResistencia, Chaco102000Red de RedesEldorado, Misiones112001Salud en Manos de la ComunidadReconquista, Santa Fe122002Todos Sabemos, no DependemosRosario, Santa Fe132003ComunicándoNOS: ¡Las Voces de la Tierra nos Convocan!Formosa, Formosa142004Integrándonos Hacia la Tierra sin Males.Eldorado, Misiones245
