“Arawaka's main goal is to promote a better relationship between human beings and our mother earth. Our prayer is for the following generations: that they may inherit the earth in better condition than we have it now. The only real problem with the ecology of the planet resides in the human beings; therefore our efforts are directed towards developing ways of spiritual education. We intend to increase our awareness and to awaken our hearts to the level at which we become capable of recognizing the earth as our mother and all that live on the earth as our relatives and our partners in life. Our work faces four directions; indian traditions; individual healing; children's education and community life.”
