In 2004 Sister Dorothy was made an honorary citizen of the State of Pará and was awarded a human-rights prize by the Pará branch of the Brazilian Bar Association. Her death promoted a series of high level actions, with ministers flying to her funeral, police arresting suspects, and 2,000 heavily armed troops being helicoptered to the region. Brazils president also declared the creation of an 8.2 million-acre reserve and a national park spanning 1.1 million acres.
Greater awareness and positive action must arise from this tragedy. Im sure Sister Dorothy will have even more to say now she has gone.
Thank you so much for sharing your story, God Bless You and Sr Dorothy. I am inspired to carry on as Sr Dorothy believed and envisioned ... let there be peace on Earth and let it begin with me ...
