group (here) Explanation: I don't think there's much point in trying to maintain the cooperative work/nativist component of the dictionary definition "minga" and the translation this time - it's just a group. Suggestion: "a considerable number of volunteers with whom he/she went on a group procession..." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2018-11-11 11:54:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, that should read "in the translation", not "and the translation"... (Dragon playing up today)... |

| Reference: Minga Reference information: Minga es una palabra de origen quechua y una práctica ancestral que se refiere a un esfuerzo colectivo convocado para lograr un objetivo común en el que la conciencia de la comunidad supera lo individual y en el que cada esfuerzo es esencial. http://fondoaccion.org/proyecto/la-minga-todos-juntos/ -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 mins (2018-11-10 23:24:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A Minga is a way of life in Ecuador. When a Minga is called, men, women, children and elders, all drop what they’re doing and rally together to complete a project for the benefit of the their community. It’s about building a better future. It’s about teamwork. Change Heroes is helping to introduce an act of collaborative giving by combining this ancient Ecuadorian tradition with Change Heroes’ accessible technology, with the goal of turning Mondaña into a sustainable community. https://www.we.org/2014/10/06/minga-change/ I would leave 'minga'. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 mins (2018-11-10 23:28:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Mink'a or minka (Quechua or Kichwa, Hispanicized minca, minga) is a type of traditional communal work in the Andes in favor of the whole community (ayllu). Participants are traditionally paid in kind. Mink'a is still practiced in indigenous communities in Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Chile, especially among the Quechua and the Aymara. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communal_work#Latin_America Ecuador Este es un término que hace referencia al trabajo no remunerado en beneficio de una comunidad o familia cuya «utilidad directa no redunda en bien del que lo realiza o al menos no es un beneficio particular».9 A diferencia del cambiamanos, la minga es una de las formas más vigentes y extendidas de trabajo comunitario en este país. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minka#Ecuador |
