The Payamino Project is a community based project started by the Amazonian
Kichwa community of San Jose de Payamino in order to create sustainable
development in the community and preserve the forest and culture. The community
located in the Ecuadorian Amazon in the Orellana Province. The community lands
stretches from the foothills of the Sumaco Volcano to the Amazon lowlands along
the Payamino River.
If you are interested in learning about and working with indigenous cultures
while helping to save the Amazon rainforests, a true adventure awaits you in San
Jose de Payamino. We are looking for people who want to become atively engaged
in environmental conservation work and sustainable community development as well
as to experience the Amazon and learn about life in a Kichwa community.
For us, volunteering is not just about the work. It is also a cultural exchange
and opportunity to learn about the Kichwa culture and volunteers will be living
and sharing meals with Kichwa families and are invited to participate in all
community activities. You will also be given the opportunity to explore the
amazing 16000 hectares of primary rainforest surrounding the community. |
