The families affected by the blackout will be assisted by Petrobras in the coming days directly, with the food being delivered to their homes to avoid gatherings. This action takes place in conjunction with the School Workshop of Lutherie of the Amazon (OELA), which has partnered with the oil company in other efforts.
