DONATIONS FOR | ‘Centre of Memory’ Huni Kuin Fundraiser Project
Some friends of ours have initiated a crowd funder campaign which we would love to honour and support. The campaign is raising funds for an amazing project which involves the carrying out of essential work and upgrades to the infrastructure of a Huni Kuin village called São Joaquim (also know as Centro de Memoria / Centre of Memory).

The Huni Kuin are an indigenous tribe who live in the Amazon Rainforest. They have been under threat and have managed to survive often against great adversity, upholding their ancient traditions and deep connection to nature. In recent years, to continue to raise awareness of the urgency of the situation and to share their innate wisdom and knowledge of the forest, a number of Huni Kuin spiritual leaders have begun to travel around the world.

Centre of Memory crowd funder: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/sia-huni-kuin-crowdfunder

We are inviting participants of the EDB Spring Gathering to make donations to support this crowd funder campaign. You can choose to make a donation and how much, when purchasing your ticket.
