Climate change turned my fellow villagers into beggars: Mexican indigenous woman
Mexican indigenous woman speaks on the sidelines of the Abu Dhabi Climate Meeting
A Mexican woman from an indigenous community said climate change turned her villagers into beggars. The life of around two thousand people in her mountainous village was turned upside down when the only river in the village completely dried up almost five years ago, Jessica Vega Ortega, 29-year old, told the Emirates News Agency, WAM, on Monday.
She still nostalgically cherished her pleasant childhood when she and her friends used to swim in the river and help elders in farming in the village in Oaxaca State.

"The river was our lifeline that offered us everything – water for drinking, cooking, farming and everything else," she said in interview on the sidelines of the Abu Dhabi Climate Meeting, hosted by the UAE as a prelude to the UN Climate Action Summit 2019, set to take place from September 21 to 23 in New York.
Ortega attended the meeting in her capacity as the co-chair of Global Indigenous Youth Caucus in Mexico.
As she grew up, she noticed the river was gradually drying up, affecting the life in the entire village, which is around 11 hours away by public transport from Mexico City. "Swimming and playing in the river were gradually turning into a sweet memory only," she said poignantly.
The death of the river put an end to farming, the only livelihood of villagers. "Not only livelihood, it was an end of the community’s cultural life as well," said the woman of Mixtec tribe.
"After work, people used to sit on the riverbank and sing traditional songs. Still they sing but for a different reason – to make a living as beggars," she said.
People leave the village in the morning for nearby towns and cities, sit on the street and sing indigenous songs to get some alms from city dwellers.
"This is the sad story of my people who used to enjoy a simple and pleasant life in the village. Climate change killed our river and our traditional happy life," Ortega explained.
However, she was fortunate to get an education and became an activist working to protect the rights of indigenous people.
"I was the first graduate from my community. My family was not rich enough to fund my education."
She did a part-time job and completed her graduation in Political Science and Public Administration from the prestigious National Autonomous University in Mexico City.
She raised the issues of indigenous people with the UN Secretary-General António Guterres in an open discussion at the Abu Dhabi Climate Meeting on Sunday.
Guterres detailed the UN’s initiatives for indigenous people, including a two-week long annual camp at the United Nations for their representatives.
Asked whether she was happy with UN Chief’s response, she said, "It is not enough. We want concrete action from the UN and world governments to protect the livelihood and traditional life of indigenous people [from the negative impacts of climate change]."

5 Ultra-Versatile Summer Dresses That Make Travel Easier
Wherever you're headed on vacation this year, there's bound to be an occasion that calls for a good summer dress. From dinners out at your go-to beach spot to simply surviving another hot day without melting, packing the right dress can make or break a summer getaway.
My ideal summer vacay dresses are super light, take up little room in my suitcase, and require no ironing once I've arrived. Sound good to you, too? Peruse my top picks for fuss free dresses to pack for your next summer trip.
KORSIS T-Shirt Dress with Pockets
This cute t-shirt dress ticks off all the boxes for a good summer dress. It's super soft and features just enough Spandex to give a little stretch where you need it. The style is versatile enough to dress up or down as needed, and the pockets are incredibly handy for long days of traveling. Choose from several solid colors, geometrics, or floral patterns.
Amazon User Review: "This dress was just as expected. It was loose fitting yet stylish. I actually wore it around the house and then when one of my children would bring a friend home for dinner, I simply put a pair of sandals on and the dress took on a new look. To say it is versatile is an understatement. I have the sleeveless one as well, but they are both great for the beach, for the house and for going out, It is very soft and comfortable as well. I would definitely recommend this dress."
