We are working in a project called "En Acción", which principal goal is teaching kids and teenagers about topics involved in three principal areas: Health, Education, and Sustainable management of natural resources.

With our headquarter in Iquitos, capital city of the department of Loreto, Peru, we are looking for to extent to different communities inside the peruvian amazon rainforest. Although we are in contact with principal Institutions (governmental and non-governmental) that invite us to participate in other projects or activities related to our interests, It is not our goal to create parallel projects, but to support governmental programs that already exists in the Loreto region, helping a bit to increase efficiency and effectiveness.

By experiencing the Amazon rainforest firsthand as a participant or internship, you will find out the life-style in an amazonian community, its problems and day-to-day struggles, how locals face some simple problems, and learn about the amazonian culture and traditions. Besides, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you have helped to improve. change, or give a positive impact in the life of the kids and teenagers who live here.
