One of the longest rivers on earth, it travels west to east for more than 4,000 miles through eight South American countries. Its vast network of tributaries nourishes a complex and delicate ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>Among the millions of people who live here are Indigenous families who draw sustenance from the water that also brings outside travelers &mdash; and with them, the coronavirus. As COVID-19 cases increased along the Amazon, so did fears about loss of life.&nbsp;The speed with which the virus has traveled into remote communities was no match for the fastest vessels delivering supplies.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We are seeing deaths increasing. There is a lot of suffering, a lot of pain and many tears,&rdquo; says Pastor Francisco Chaves dos Santos of Presbyterian Church of Manaus in Manaus, Brazil. The church has partnered with World Vision for 15 years to help vulnerable communities.&nbsp;&ldquo;We are seeing people in need like we have never seen them before.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"\/our-work\/country-profiles\/brazil\">Brazil<\/a>, the pandemic has exacted its toll with more than<a href=\"https:\/\/coronavirus.jhu.edu\/map.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> 142,000 deaths and 4.7 million cases<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;If we don&rsquo;t have a resource, to believe in God is all that remains for us,&rdquo; says Lourdes, a 49-year-old mother living in S&atilde;o Jos&eacute;, a riverside village two hours away from the nearest city. A diabetic, Lourdes needs medicine. And a foot injury during the pandemic has confined her to a hammock. Lourdes&rsquo; way out of her misery is prayer. &ldquo;My God,&rdquo; she pleaded. &ldquo;I hope that one day, one day I will see a motorboat.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Ferrying in hope is a team of healthcare workers and volunteers aboard a medical ship called the <em>Solidarity<\/em>, operated by World Vision.<\/p>\n<h2>Volunteers, medical crew become a healing force for families<\/h2>\n<p>The <em>Solidarity<\/em> has sailed to isolated communities to deliver food boxes, issue essential first-aid supplies, and provide medical care to 1,000 families in Brazil hit hard by the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>A doctor, two dentists, two nursing technicians, and a chief nurse are among the <em>Solidarity<\/em>&rsquo;s crew. They have distributed 1,400 food boxes, 800 hygiene kits, 400 Tenderness Boxes, and 2,100 masks to families in Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We are reaching populations in extreme vulnerability due to the limited access to health services, medicines, geographic isolation, and communication difficulties,&rdquo; says Martha Yaneth Rodriguez, national director of World Vision in Brazil. Social isolation and increased economic vulnerability are putting children and youth at increased risk of abuse, violence, dropping out of school, and food insecurity, she says. It&rsquo;s also more difficult for them to access health services.<\/p>\n<p>For many children, it was their first health checkup.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;In the riverside community, people don&rsquo;t see a dentist regularly, or many of them have never seen a dentist before. They suffer a lot from cavities, especially children,&rdquo; says&nbsp;Djalison&nbsp;do Nascimento Rodrigues, a dentist aboard&nbsp;the&nbsp;<em>Solidarity<\/em>. &ldquo;One of my most memorable experiences is when you can save that new patient&rsquo;s teeth and restore their teeth. And in the end, they say, &lsquo;Wow, doctor, thanks, I thought I was going to lose my teeth.&rsquo; This is gratifying for me.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Pastor Francisco volunteered aboard the Solidarity. &ldquo;We will never be the same again after this pandemic,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;My wish is that we are better people and that soon we can say that we have made a difference through love. And, in this sense, the partnership with World Vision is fundamental, both to directly assist and to think together about how to care for children safely and carefully.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_72775\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-72775\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-72775 size-full lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/email\/met3\/spacer.gif\" alt=\"Responding to crisis, the Solidarity reaches families in isolated communities along the Amazon River. \" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2020\/09\/W045-0037-117.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2020\/09\/W045-0037-117-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2020\/09\/W045-0037-117-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2020\/09\/W045-0037-117-640x360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2020\/09\/W045-0037-117-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2020\/09\/W045-0037-117-360x203.jpg 360w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2020\/09\/W045-0037-117-850x478.jpg 850w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2020\/09\/W045-0037-117-1140x641.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2020\/09\/W045-0037-117.jpg\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-72775\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">C&eacute;lia and her three daughters received hygiene kits from the <em>Solidarity<\/em>&lsquo;s crew.
