Dear Friends,
In our May newsletter, we asked for your support to help families fund the final year of university for their children. Thanks to your generosity, we are excited to announce that we are 35% of the way to our goal of raising $18,000! This funding is crucial for assisting families in ensuring their children can complete their university educations.
We aim to push this number to 50% by the end of June. Your contributions will directly impact these students and their families, providing much-needed financial support for their education and the betterment of their community.
Long-term Conservation Efforts:
I am excited to share that we are working hard on proposals to help create a long-term management plan for our foundation. This plan is essential for sustaining our conservation efforts and ensuring that the rich biodiversity of the Ecuadorian Amazon is preserved for future generations while responsibly using your donations. Your support plays a crucial role in making these initiatives successful. For those who have already donated, THANK YOU!

About Amarun Pakcha
Our mission at Amarun Pakcha is to offer sustainable ecotourism services with bird-watching tours, hikes to our stream and waterfalls, and visits to pre-Inca petroglyphs, all within the foothills of the Ecuadorian Amazonian rainforest. We aim to provide you with an educational, cultural, and environmental experience that allows you to discover the natural and cultural wealth of the area while supporting forest conservation and community members.
About Me, Ellen Jacobson
My background in conservation and community development began in the late 1970s when I spent a summer in Tena, Ecuador, volunteering with a vaccination program. This experience led to my founding of Friends of Amarun Pakcha, which works closely with the Kichwa community of Wawa Sumaco.
Through your support, we can continue our efforts in both educational support and conservation, ensuring a brighter future for the students and the preservation of the Amazon’s rich biodiversity. Thank you for joining us on this important mission.
