En un mundo atormentado por el egoísmo brilla el rostro feliz de la hermandad del siervo sufridor” “In a World tortured by selfishness, shins the happy face of the Siervo Sufridor brotherhood” As part of our commitment with the society and following our philosophy of life, we have started last December/2006 a project to help the homeless Indians in the area of Otavalo, therefore Gentian Trails has taken the decision to share a percentage of our profit and make monthly donations to Casa Atuntaqui. There is an immense amount of money assigned to help nature, sustainable tourism etc. but a very small group or none in the tourism business help humans, many tourist visit the area of Otavalo because of it’s famous market and beautiful landscapes, but there is another face of the reality and are the sick homeless Indians that have been abandoned and need our help. By coincidence we were informed of this place that we have named ‘’Casa Atuntaqui’’ , by a famous Medical Doctor who is helping this people and is related with our company, who introduced us to Sister Tersa Noemi Rivera an Ecuadorian missionary that decided to give her life to help this unfortunate people. Sister Teresa spend many years in the slums of Rio the Janeiro and Sao Paulo in Brasil helping the leprous, and decided to start the foundation in her own house in Ecuador since year 2003. It has been very hard for her, as she hardly gets some founds from the charity of the neighbors and people who know about the place, therefore since we met her and knew that we could be of an immense help, we decided to be part of the brotherhood, known as the ‘’ Hermandad del Siervo Sufridor’’ who’s founder was Father Alfredinho Kuntz from Switzerland. Some of our clients visit the house and make donations, some of our clients send donations, indirectly your clients are part of these donations, therefore if you are interested and you want to start with your help, please contact us: Gentian Trails Donations If you want to make a donation from your country please follow these instructions: * Send an email to Gentian Trails informing about the donation and the amount Make your donation by wire transfer to: Bank Account: WACHOVIA BANK Credit to: PRODUBANK * As soon as we get the money we will send you a confirmation mail. * Automatically you will be part of our mailing list and Casa Atuntaqui brotherhood, therefore we will keep you posted about the latest news and all the progress we are going trough.
