In April of each year a Detroit Zoo volunteer group joins the CONAPAC staff to distribute school supplies in all of the Adopt-A-School communities. In 2011, over 4,000 students and teachers in 98 schools in 57 communities received school supplies, thanks to the help of the Detroit Zoo Conservation Expedition team. We were also accompanied by representatives from the Iquitos Board of Education and the Indiana Regional Education Office which supervises the schools in this area.

If you have any questions, would like further information, or are interested in participating in a future conservation expedition to the Amazon to distribute school supplies, please click the link below orcontact Claire at the Zoo.
