Our Mission & Vision
Eco tourism
We are strong supporters of Eco Tourism and Sustainability. Since we live in the middle of the forest, nature is our life and bread. We want to preserve it the best way possible. When visiting us please be conscious for the environment!
Cultural Exchange
We want to teach you about our culture, traditions and language, to help preserve our treasure. We appreciate the cultural exchange as it is crucial for our education. We learn from you just as much as you learn from us.
Development of our village
We are looking for ways to fund our village to help better our schools and living conditions. This is part of the reason for why we have chosen to bring tourists in, so we can fund better facilities for our kids.
Preservation
For us it is crucial to preserve our fragile culture. We enjoy showcasing and sharing our culture so that it can stay alive and travel the world. Thus this means to respect the way that we live and behave.
