« Mummy », it’s what Emmanuel said when he was reunited with his mother.
Photographs of the reunion show him giving his mother a drawing he had made for her.
Before the meeting, child psychologists showed Emmanuel photographs of his mother to prepare him. The mother he didn’t know he had.
Three years ago, Emmanuel was taken from Clara Rojas while she was held captive by the rebels in Colombia’s jungle. The boy was suffering from malnutrition, tropical diseases and a broken arm. He was placed in an orphanage in Bogota.
His luck has now changed : reunited with his mother and a little of love from a family together again, after so many years of suffering.
Clara Rojas can live with her son but the administrative procedure will take time. « I feel very happy to be here, I am reborn, I am living again » she declared at Bogota’s military airport, a few hours before she went to meet her son.
Free, Clara Rojas cannot forget her guerilla hostage companions, especially her friend Ingrid Betancourt.
