The climate of a coup that has characterized Ecuador and violently opposed the recent days the rebels police in Quito, not the army loyalist to President Correa seems outdated. Not the climate of economic insecurity, the meandering malaise, widespread incidents of petty crime even to the barrios of the city. So the withdrawal of police sparked thieves and thugs who attack banks, shops, bars, basements and any place where there is a form of economic organization. One of them hit a few days before the coup attempt, just a week ago, the medical dispensary (pharmacy and clinic) directed to Esmeraldas mother Camilla Andreatta, Comboni Missionary to Latin America. It was an attempted robbery at gunpoint by two shady characters perpetrated in the Medical Center Assistencial Mother Anastasia of Esmeraldas. So afraid, of course, and thankfully little damage.

Italy, Latin America and only with over 100 grants, help with the hands of Mother Camilla many poor esmeraldegni to grow better for themselves, family and society in which they live. A Christian project and development of civic and personal dignity, in addition to all the circumstances it is perhaps worth lessen the blows of a dangerous armed robbery at a missionary structure two years ago targeted by a sensational theft of expensive machines for diagnosis and therapy. So a mission that can not be said that some of the quiet courage that Sister Camilla Andreatta, despite this, does not escape either by mail to comment on the recent events that have crossed the South American country: "Our president is a strong character but has also large positive reforms for the country. I was her friend at this moment I would suggest to look a bit 'more dialogue with others, but, nevertheless, to go forward. Democracy, especially here, in fact, proves not only with words ...
