Luna and Consuelo have rented a large Maloka, a traditional structure on the land of the renowned anthropologist, professor, author and researcher Grimaldo Rengifo Vasquez. Luna, along with other women anthropologists in the community, works for various NGOs in the province, dedicated to preserving indigenous knowledge and cultural heritage. Together, they strive to empower local communities and safeguard the invaluable wisdom of Peru's indigenous peoples.
Professor Grimaldo Rengifo is also the founder of the NGO Waman
Wasi in the Waiku. The NGO has been selected to showcase their excellent work
with indigenous communities at this year's Venice Biennale in the frame of PROMPERU, a strategic alliance between the State
(Ministry of Education/ UGELES), the NGO Waman Wasi, representatives of the
native Kichwa, Awajún and Shawi communities, mestizo communities and
educational institutions in the provinces of El Dorado, Lamas and San Martín.
