Responsible Tourism within the Children’s Land.
There is a magical place in the Peruvian Amazon where, in spite of the threats posed by mining, hunting and illegal tree-felling, hope that the world can improve still exists. This initiative is called Children’s Forest (BoNi) and is a natural area located in Madre de Dios - Peru. This area is taken care of by children who, alongside their families, co-exist with nature, appreciating and celebrating it.

Gitche M'Qua Centre for Healing and Dying

www.gitchemqua.org

Gitche M'Qua Centre for Healing and Dying is a charitable organization that brings awareness and compassion to exploring our relationship to how we are living and dying.

Our mission is to provide education, i.e. lectures, retreats and workshops, as well as establishing training and counselling for individuals and their communities facing illness or death. Our End-of-Life program was designed to train lay and professionals working with the dying, and our other programs enhance this work by offering tools to support our well being.

GMC is about understanding healing and dying. It is looking at the simple truth that everyone dies, and then asking how can we help our loved ones die peacefully. Since none of us escapes death, we believe it is important to prepare ourselves to assist one another at this important juncture of life. Dying can, we have learned, have a quality of healing, as we accept that curing an illness is not always possible. Healing fosters the qualities of acceptance, understanding, and love, as we make sense of our how we are living or how we are dying.
