Our expedition continued today, with a visit to the San Francisco community in the morning. In this place, we had a blast watching and experiencing firsthand how people live nowadays in the Amazonia. In fact, this was a once in lifetime experience.
We had a brief but meaningful encounter with a Minga Peru welcoming committee. The latter is a non-profit organization, founded in 1998, that has as a mission the promotion of social justice and human dignity for women and families in remote rural areas of the Peruvian Amazon. They have been developing valuable projects in the area. They give technical training to women and community members in agroforestry, crop cultivation, and the construction and management of fish ponds, which has prooved to be vital to increase the economical sustainability of many people.
In the early afternoon, we went to swim in Clavero Lake. We came back just on time to go on a skiff ride or kayaking around the lake.
