initial committee strategy
revaluation of the coca leaf
initial committee is an initiative of groups and individuals from civil society who seek to contribute from their experiences, to the revaluation of the coca leaf in Bolivia and internationally.
coca leaf is a millennial appeal of the Andean and Amazonian. Its nutritional value, benefits to human health, and cultural importance have been recorded widely, including by many scientists.
However, this natural wealth has also been and is a source of fierce attempts at economic and political control. Today, coca leaf and its values, rather than receive international recognition they deserve, are denied and persecuted because of confusion in people and instances of policy international.
We believe that this confusion, defining the coca leaf in its natural state, like a drug, it is curable and overcome. Therefore, we propose, organize and conduct a campaign that is aimed at a fair valuation of the coca leaf as one of the great wealth that gives us life.
One of the actions of the international campaign is the proclamation of June 26 - now international day of struggle against drugs - such as the International Day coca leaf.
In 2007, you can that day, in many places in the world, enjoy a rich cup of mate de coca.
