A very important subject, especially so in the case of the reality we presently live in.
This activity plays a very important role as regards our present-day environment, in which change is so quick and overpowering –particularly because of the accelerated development in a wide range of level –from communications and technology to social progress, or evolution. We understand the inevitability of all that, but are keen on the idea of trying to make all of profitable for everybody –even those with “different “ activities, who are not at all involved in changing the environment or the culture.
From the start I have considered as part of our mission –within my limited role as a guide and head of a small company as ours is- to assure and ensue that it lies within our power to make these activities less impacting as well less negative in collateral consequences to the environment, nature and culture. When we mention “the culture” in this particular context and circumstances, one is not only referring to the impact created and felt directly by a given community and village. The implication is broader, encompassing –among other aspects- the way and mode in which we work and interact with the community and village. We take special care that our porters and staff receive the best conditions and treatment, as well as –of great importance- that the women of the community, who are gifted weavers and crafters, are fairly and generously paid and remunerated for their work.
We also empathize with them on environmental issues, projects and ideas, more than often sharing and agreeing in our experience. The naked truth of the matter is that it is virtually impossible for an outsider to not impact in some way upon a native community and local inhabitants. There are, however, multiple ways and means of creating and conditioning an “impact” of the nature referred to as well as its effect. We opt for channeling that impact into generating different ways of support and conceptually constructive though and minimize the “impacting” aspect by our activities.
Some of the projects listed herein are involved with folk art and handicraft activities such as weaving, also agriculture, education and training people in different fields. There are also projects dedicated to health and care. There are also nature oriented projects where we help in reforestation and the creation of an environmental consciousness among and between the local people. We likewise impart instruction and teaching to locals practices on biodegradable activities as well as the importance of recycling waste products in order to protect nature and preserve the surrounding environment.
Some of those projects will have to be with weaving, agriculture, education and capacitationin deferent’s fields; as well projects related with health care and in the natural aspects we help in reforestation and to create the environmental conscience. Also the process of separation in between biodegradables and not as well recycling everything is possible in nature of industry.
As mentioned earlier, we want to help but also bring you along and let you become a part of it all. We would like to have you participate in different projects and in the activities we carry out. We avow that what we say is what we do –for the environment, nature and people.
