Empowering Change: Aydee Chaeta’s Inspiring Journey

In the heart of Madre de Dios, a region of the Peruvian Amazon, a remarkable journey unfolds through the life of Aydee Silva Chaeta Saavedra, a beacon of hope from the Palma Real Native Community.

A Decade of Dedication

Over a decade ago, Palma Real sought our assistance to help their children pursue brighter futures. Together, we embarked on a mission to provide education and opportunities for these young minds.

Breaking Barriers

With your unwavering support, we removed barriers by covering school fees and providing housing for over 30 Palma Real children. This support enabled them to chase their educational dreams, and the attached photo reflects the unity and hope that emerged from this collaboration.

(Apologies for the fuzzy photos, but they are all we could find of Aydee’s cohort of students back in their community and in front of their dormitory — it was a long time ago!

But trust us, Aydee is in these photos!)

A Nursing Success

Aydee Chaeta’s journey epitomizes the impact of your generosity. With determination, she graduated as a registered nurse, symbolizing the triumph of perseverance and ambition.

A New Chapter

We’re delighted to share Aydee’s latest chapter: her appointment to the prestigious Governing Board of FENAMAD. This appointment underscores her unwavering dedication to making a positive impact.

Guardians of Communities

FENAMAD, or “Federación Nativa del Río Madre de Dios y Afluentes,” is devoted to safeguarding the well-being of all 36 Native Communities in Madre de Dios, including isolated indigenous groups like the “no contact people” deep in the Amazon rainforests of southern Peru.

A Moment of Pride

The attached photo captures Aydee at her swearing-in ceremony, a moment that showcases her grace and determination in taking on this vital role.
