The challenge: The Indigenous communities surrounding Atandahua have few opportunities and resources. Children study in dilapidated schools and receive basic education with minimal creative expression or cultural reinforcement. This affects their personal and cultural identity; many do not see a future beyond what they see around them. The solution: Art can bring communities together, build confidence and transferable skills, and transform communal spaces into vibrant hubs with powerful symbology that can change people's perceptions of themselves.

I will be thinking about all that I learned here for a long time
June 02, 2022by: Kenzie WilkinsonOur stay with Joshua and Karina was so far beyond my expectations. They - and their entire community in Atandahua - embraced us and shared their music, dancing, food, stories, adventures, and work. It is a truly special place and Joshua is kind, organized, communicative, and inspiring. The work is fun and very fair, the accommodations are comfortable, the community and the group of volunteers is lovely and easy to build friendships within. I highly recommend this project to anyone looking to experience this region in a real way, and to become immersed in a small, hard-working community with a beautiful vision for the future. I will be thinking about all that I learned here for a long time.
