The cultural and
educational exchange project seeks to promote participation and learning of
values such as solidarity, through spaces for effective participation in the
community, contributing to the feeling of personal fulfillment and social
responsibility of the people with whom we live.
The indigenous
communities have a traditional political structure and administration, but they
also have to fight much harder than any other Panamanian to acquire better
education, better working conditions and access to adequate health care.
The Embera, which is
the community in which we collaborate, are distributed in various parts of the
country, mainly along the Chucunaque and Tuira rivers in the Darién Province,
in the province of Panama they are located on the banks of the Chagres River,
Camboa, Gatún and Lake Bayano in MAJE, they live in a dairy house because of
the location and levels of the river.
