We spent four days at Santa Isabel finishing the building of a school kitchen, a children's playground, and an outdoor classroom space (maloca) with the community members there. Fun activities with the community's children included storytelling and crafts and painting birdhouses to place in the schoolyard.

As we celebrate Earth Day this month remember that CONAPAC is working to provide conservation education to the stewards and the future stewards of the Amazonian rainforest--a benefit for all of Earth. Here are some photos of kids, parents, teachers, and volunteers from Adopt-A-School 2026 deliveries. 

Supporting young learners has been a top priority for us ever since CONAPAC first began partnering with communities. The school supplies we provide to each child help reduce parents' financial burden, thereby reducing the strain on forest resources driven by profit motives.

CONAPAC runs on two things—its mission and its people. One of our biggest assets is our volunteers. They power the work, the message, the financial support and the goodwill of CONAPAC. Let me introduce you to one of our most loyal volunteers, Ruth Col from Las Vegas, NV! 

Volunteer with us! AAS week 2

Thanks to all of you!

Help us over the top with a bit more!

One donor/volunteer tells of her experience.

Within the environmental education focus of Peru’s national curriculum, students explore Espacios de Vida (EsVi), or “living spaces.” Schools in the rural Amazon of Loreto—where CONAPAC works closely with communities—are no exception.

Today on GivingTuesday and the whole rest of December, we hope you will donate to our Adopt-A-School program to help us provide school supplies to every child in our partner communities. Our end-of-year goal is $65,000, and we believe we can reach it with your help! (All donations are received by our partners, the Detroit Zoo; 100% of your donation is transferred directly to CONAPAC.) Every child deserves the opportunity to learn and succeed. Help us give them the tools they need.

Each year, CONAPAC distributes school supplies to partner communities. Every child, teacher, and school receives supplies, timed for the start of the school year, to help lessen the financial burden on families and promote education in the community.

Each year, the CONAPAC team visits every partner community together with specialists from the Board of Education both at the beginning of the school year when we do the school supply distributions and again during end-of-year evaluations in late October or early November. These visits are essential for understanding how students, teachers, and families are doing.

CONAPAC has an official partnership agreement with the State education department of the GREL, Gerencia Regional de Educación de Loreto, and with the local education authorities of the UGEL Maynas, Unidad de Gestión Educativa Local Maynas.

Our Adopt-A-School (AAS) program provides necessary learning materials to every community in our partnership.
