translated from Spanish: Santi Maratea delivered the two 0KM vans and donations to the Wichi community

As Santiago Maratea usually does and true to his style, he shared the minute by minute of the trip that had as his final destination the delivery of a truck with donations and two 0KM vans. However, in the process of delivery some details emerged such as getting stay and tickets for Santiago and his friends who accompanied him to make the delivery of the proceeds. But on the other hand, the influencer also told in his Instagram stories that everything did not go as planned or imagined, since in the community they met people from the “Chaqueña Mission Commission”, who did not agree with the management of the vans. The chief and people of the community were not satisfied that the vans were in charge of Omar, a friend of Santiago and part of this collective with whom the whole solidarity movement arose; and “Pata Pila”, the foundation that would take care of the expenses of the vans, where one of them was to be transformed into a “mobile malnutrition center”. Maratea explained to the group of people all the bureaucratic procedures that they had to take into account in order to own the vans, trying to communicate in the most effective way that the important thing of this move was that they would be able to have the vans available for the needs of the community. More people came, so they couldn’t leave and had to explain everything again.
“It ended up being all right. One person in the community told me: we totally disagree with what you’re doing but thank you very much. I didn’t feel very good about the truth, but I respect it.”

To avoid riots with the part of the community that did not agree that the vans would eventually be made available to Omar, as the Pata Pila foundation renounced its tenure because of the dissatisfence of the Wichis, Santiago, Omar and their friends, had to retire on a mobile of the local police. With the rest of the money raised at the collection, Omar will use it for the maintenance of the vans in favor of coelcive Wichi.
“That’s how it all ended, the truth ended well, not in the way we expected, but it all ended well: Omar with the two vans and the donations that came well. I’m happy, it was just an intense day,” the influencer closed.

How the initiative came about
Ten days ago, Santi Maratea surprised his followers by posing a solidarity initiative for them. In 24 hours the influencer reached the goal: he collected two million pesos to donate an ambulance to the Wichi community in Salta, at the request of his friend Omar, part of this coelctive. Soon it was more and it became two 0KM vans and a donation truck.” I have a little excitement and vertigo because if we end up getting it, it’s crazy for influencers and their followers to come along to buy an ambulance from a community that the state forgets. It looks like a jerk, because this is on Instagram and everyone is at home and can bring something, however the impact we can have is real and it’s very strong and it excites me,” Maratea said days ago.In a matter of hours not only was the goal achieved but surpassed. Finally, this Saturday at three-thirty in the morning, Santiago left with a group of friends in the two vans. Through his Instagram stories he shared the odyssey of his trip that included stops in different provinces of the country such as Rosario, Córdoba and Santiago del Estero, among others.
