Huaorani Happenings: Photos of the Community



Photos from the trek upriver and indigenous activities.


Curious onlookers beside the riverbank.
A billion shades of green along the river. :)
Jose at the helm.
¨Lady¨- content in the canoe. 
Busy fishin´.

Just arrived at the community- a feel for these giant, wooden canoes. :) 
The Hauorani consider sharing food as the greatest act of kindness or generosity. Lady and her huge brown eyes handing her mama a fish caught just moments before. 
View of the soccer field/school playground. 
Volunteer bunks and spare classrooms. The elementary building is found on the far end of the line. 

Coming together to build a house for, la dueƱa de la escuela, Ciara. 
Sittin´ around, climbin trees. Just bein´. :)
Fast-forward a day or two....and the house has a roof!...
A beautifully intricate roof....
Now nothing but walls and a floor and listo!  (Ready!)
