The work undertaken by On-Q is something I fully support. Thousands of indigenous Peruvians are having their homes and natural habitat destroyed in the name of greed and commerce. The quest to expand the oil, mining and logging industry will have a catastrophic effect on these peoples and all of us. An old story, except this time the rich get richer and the poor are left without the sacred ground which is, in moral truth, most certainly theirs. They are the ones who protect and defend the rain forest for all of us and all generations to come.
Something must be done to halt this preventable chain of events. Qorianka and her team along with many representatives are giving voice to the disenfranchised. Support them, in any way you can…

I am very gratified to learn of your coverage of what is going on in Peru. I learned of it only last week, and was fortunate to be able to get to the march and demonstration in NYC on Friday.
I was wondering how to get an RSS feed of your blog posts; the link doesn’t give a valid RSS feed url.
Thanks.
The first, most enduring responsibility of any society is to ensure the well-being of indigenous people. Gracias for your commitment,solidarity and support the indigenous peruvians.
Blessings to all of you….
