Review for Fundamaya, San Diego, CA, USA
Fundamaya is an impressive organisation, the staff, management & volunteers are very dedicated. They really do care about the work they do. Most of the staff are indigenous, which is commendable. The programs they run are much needed, they have made a huge difference in the quality of life for many indigenous communities. I especially love the education program that empowers children, giving them an opportunity to go to school. This makes a huge difference in their future prospects. I highly recommend this worthy organisation.
