{ SUSTAINING CULTURE Working together for the protection, promotion and diffusion of Andean Culture. }
Our vision is to sustain permanent, multidisciplinary activities oriented toward children, youth, and adults of traditional communities, towns and cities, especially in the Sacred Valley area of Cusco, Peru, through workshops, special events, cultural exchanges and other integral educational activities that reinforce, promote and protect the values and knowledge of Andean culture—and in this way, empower the endangered traditional way of life.
We are asking for support in order to achieve this project. The socio-economic conditions of this region, as you understand, are strictly based on daily survival for the majority of the participants. On the other hand, we have more than enough enthusiasm and dedication to contribute to the formation of a global conscience that respects cultural and ecological diversity, that honors the wisdoms and dignity of indigenous traditions, and that searches for the unity of human beings within a framework of reciprocity, respect and social justice.
