  Description

  Salaam, hello ! Holaa con todos !
  
  Soy Saba i'm Iranian girl living on Amazon of Peru
  I am an autonomous ceramist, which led me to know this beautiful community and so I created this project that aims to rescue this ancestral practice so beautiful and full of wisdom
  
  This beautiful project is located in Iñapari, the last city in Peru, border city with Brazil and Bolivia
  We are in the Peruvian Amazon, in Madre De Dios Peru
  What I am looking for are people with a lot of enthusiasm and desire to help me in a very interesting and special project with a native community (THE LAST NATIVE COMMUNITY OF PERU)
  The project is about helping the community to recover and rescue the ancestral practice of ceramics, a beautiful group of community women and in the future help to articulate it to the market
  This project, apart from having a cultural focus, also has an environmental and commercial focus.
  
  Project´s Summary: The cultural approach is to rescue this ancestral practice that has always been a collective of women and continues to be in.
  the environmental there is the objective of creating an operational plan for the bark of the tree "apacharama" that is used to create the pieces of ceramic of the YINE community (Due to the lack of management of this tree is the reason why this practice is being stopped, since it is increasingly difficult to access it), without this plan this tree could disappear and with it the ceramics and culture. In the commercial part, the objective is to help the community members to have a trade from the unique ceramics.
  
  This project was presented by me, and we won the contest and there is financing to start working!
  We just need volunteers to accelerate and also expand this beautiful ancestral art.
  Who is still alive, here and wants to expand and live!
  dare you join?

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  You will have the opportunity to be in beautiful nature, learn indigenous art, culture and ancestral knowledge
  Being away from the city and perhaps going back to the past is always necessary, in itself that is what brought me here and I was able to win this project for the community
  If you feel that you should do it, I would be delighted if you contact me.
