I met this wonderful group at the World Indigenous Peoples Conference on Education (WIPCE) in Cuzco, Peru. I was able to witness the marvelous individuals who not only made a lasting impression on the well over 500 attendees of the meeting but also left me with the feeling I was a member of their incredibly resourceful family. Education is the key and the AIO people are contributing to making sure Indigenous Populations get their fair representation in the World's future.
