Bogota ∙ There were no balloons, no cake, no candles; No one said ‘Happy Birthday’…the youngest of the children, one-year-old Christian, celebrated his first birthday in the forest. He was only 11 months old when the plane crashed and is now one year old.
The most exciting part of this survival story is that this baby spent 40 days in the forest with his 3 sisters without knowing that his mother had died in the accident. Although the details are not available, the fact that the eldest child is 13 years old may be crucial. Their grandfather Fidencio Valencia says that even the children of the Huitoto tribe know how to hunt and fish.
But food was not the only challenge. The Amazon rainforest is full of wild animals, including jaguars (American tiger), venomous snakes and poisonous plants. When they were rescued, the children had insect bite marks all over their bodies.
The storm has been very strong for the past few weeks. The search team was also concerned that the area was threatened by guerrilla groups. It must have been the children’s loved ones who were optimistic even in the face of adversity. The children’s father, Manuel, was confident that they would return. There is a reason – Manuel’s sister had been missing in the forest like this before. It was found following a month. Children should also be taught how to escape if they fall into the forest.
