Rebel Runcato
Your
on-line ethno shop for Peruvian herbal medicines, natural incenses, indigenous art-crafts and Jungle Trip
Expeditions
Our
purpose is to promote a long-term relationship with
the indigenous cultures of our country Peru, built on mutual respect,
trust and solidarity ; supporting small producers and not maximising our
profit at their expense so in that way contributing to preserve their
traditions, knowledge, religion system and all their ancient expressions
as well as their tribal lands.
Runcato
company
supplies
art - crafts,
herbs and incenses that come
from the Amazonian Rainforest and the
Andean
Highlands
and
also organizes
Jungle trip adventures
creating opportunities to their inhabitants who have been
economically and socially marginalized by the capitalism system and
modern/conventional societies .
We
want to be linked to a conciousness that supports ecological
sustainability and the preservation of the Rain forest which is
paramount to our future generations. The first step towards this is to
open our hearts, as this is not only an intellectual realization but
that of our mind, body and spirit harmoniously. Now more than ever is a
time for recognition and change, to free ourselves from the structures
and systems that bind us to a selfish way of living that is destroying
our planet, our mother earth, our Pachamama.
Additionally
we have been supporting to Shipibo-Conibo children that emigrated to
Lima (capital of Peru) along with their parents since 2004 with a
breakfast program for two years and currently with a lunch program that
includes feeding approximately 103 school-age children and mothers who
are breast feeding infants. This food program has provided the
only daily nutritional meal that many of these children have access to.
As we work with the mothers of these children for the accomplish
of the program their role as women is highly valued for which they are
empowered in their community. Runcato company purchases and then
offers to the world the art-crafts produced by these women as a strategy
for poverty mitigation and developing producer`s independence.

a trailer about this program
At
the beginning this program was fully financed by Runcato E.I.R.L. but
because of economical restrictions it was
about to be cancelled untill that we met to Oscar Miroquesada who is the
founder of The Heart of the Healer foundation, this wonderful
people are supporting this program right now and is deeply committed to
exploring solutions to the extremely complex social, political,
anthropological and practical challenges that place these beautiful
people on the edge of disappearing from our world entirely.
Thank
you Oscar and to all the members of THOT !
