The Court will now summarize the significant parts of said statements. a. Statement by Albino Fernández, alleged victim He is a member of the Yakye Axa Indigenous Community and he currently lives at said Community, on the route between Pozo Colorado and Concepción. He has been a teacher at the Community’s school since 1994. When the struggle for the land began, he also began the struggle to establish a school in the Community, which was recognized by the State as an “Indigenous School,” with an allocation for payment of a teacher in 1996. This school is located within the current settlement of the Yakye Axa Community and there are 57 boys and girls regularly enrolled at this school. However, some children drop out of school because they become ill or because they have no food or water and cannot endure studying. Others have no clothes or shoes and are ashamed to attend classes under those circumstances. The parents of most of the boys and girls have no jobs. Furthermore, the members of the community cannot farm because their current settlement is on a fringe of land that the authorities classify as a “public road” and also because they have been forbidden from hunting, gathering firewood and water from their lands. The parents and the teacher suffer for this reason. The little house where the school operates is made with palm leaves, has a sod floor, two blackboards and chairs with desks. This house is also the chapel. Due to its conditions and structure, the school is especially affected during the rainy season. The material used in the school is provided by the Governor’s Office and by the Instituto Paraguayo del Indígena. This material is insufficient for the school year, so the members of the Community seek additional material by means of donations. The booklets and textbooks are provided by the Office of the Supervisor of Indigenous Education of the Ministry of Education, and they are in Spanish and 7 See file with appendixes to the reply to the application, appendixes 1 to 14, volumes 3569 to 3751; file with documents submitted during the public hearing held on March 4 and 5, 2005, volumes 396 to 479; file with proceedings on the merits, reparations, and costs, Volume IV, volumes 887 to 897 and 905 to 907; book entitled “Atlas de las Comunidades Indígenas en el Paraguay”, Presidency of the Republic, Technical Planning Secretariat.
