Light For The Amazon

18/02/2026

We took a walk into the forest with Rolando Nina, an indigenous leader from the Yaguas tribe and expert of medicinal plants of the Amazon Rainforest. He has been sharing his ancestral knowledge as an educator with Light for the Amazon. Last year he taught our students in Santa Maria de Ojeal about the medicinal properties of the plants of their forest.

Today our student had another great opportunity to learn from Rolando Nina, an indigenous expert of medicinal plants. Our coordinator and volunteers helped with the dynamic process of sharing the knowledge by employing art activities and moments of conversation with the students. We are so happy to see these wonderful moments, when students reconnect with nature and their history of their knowledge

♻️ Recycling and reusing are key to protecting our planet. We can make a big difference by recycling paper, plastic, and glass, and creatively reusing materials. Every small action counts. Together, we can create a more sustainable future.

As part of our *Guardians of the Amazon* education program, we created an art project using plastic materials collected by the students. 🌿✨

Let’s recycle and reuse today for a better tomorrow! 💚

🌱 This week in Santa María de Ojeal, we held the second class of our second module on Amazon Fauna, focusing on the ecological importance of plants.

The children explored how plants contribute to the balance of the ecosystem and how they interact with other living beings in their environment. From providing food and shelter to regulating the climate and supporting biodiversity, plants play a vital role in sustaining life in the rainforest.

This class was led by amazing volunteers—students from UNAP (Universidad Nacional de la Amazonía Peruana)—who shared their knowledge with the students . Thank you for your contribution

We’re proud to continue building bridges between education, community, and conservation with our program Guardians of the Amazon.
