The Pachamama Alliance to lead session at the European Summit for Global Transformation

The Pachamama Alliance will lead an Awakening the Dreamer session at the The European Summit for Global Transformation to be held at the World Trade Centre in Rotterdam on the 20, 21 and 22 of november 2009.

The Pachamama Alliance's mission is twofold: To preserve the earth's tropical rainforests by empowering the indigenous people who are its natural custodians, and to contribute to the creation of a new global vision of equity and sustainability for all.

Jen Lemen and Innocent Bajeneza will present their work in Rwanda. How did an American mom and a man in Rwanda form a partnership that reunites families and builds homes and schools? Hear their story to find out! Jen (with Stephanie Roberts) won this year's Lenovo/Microsoft Name Your Dream Assignment contest with her Picture Hope project. She'll talk about her mission now: To excavate stories of hope and unleash the power of partnership and community across race, class and socioeconomic lines. Innocent, in his first trip outside Africa, will share the notion of 'turikumwe' or "we are together," and how it is fueling Rwanda post-genocide. He's just opened Turikumwe Nursery School in Rwanda, welcoming 60 students in this vision of hope, community and reconciliation.
