JUNGLE EXPEDITION – PERU 1.WHY

Why

(All photos in this post by Nico Ciorogan)

Introduction to this expedition

So WHY did this expedition take place??

First things first – let’s establish the context. Every member had their own motivations and fears – some’s motivation may have been to overcome fear. So, to avoid speaking too much for others, I’ll describe the overall missions and objectives, then describe more detail as to my own. Even though some individual’s goals/missions are described here, there may be more details that I’m not privy to – I’ll do my best.

Let’s start with where the main objective came from (remember that the WHO will be described in another post):

  • Daniel & Antonia

They’ve started a 501c3 (non-profit) called Loose Change (Based in Wayland, MA) that, every year, organize a week-long town-wide event, during which all residents are asked to donate their spare coins. Residents young and old and local businesses, plus the schools and religious congregations, all come together in support of this campaign, making it a true community effort. We raise an average of $10,000 per year.

They use 100% of this money to buy books and educational materials in Peru, which they then ship to schools in small villages perched high in the remotest parts of the Andes. Most of the villages have a one-room schoolhouse, and mostly have no supplies of any kind, and the children attending are often the first in their family to learn to read and write. Every year a few students and residents from Wayland travel to these villages to build, renovate and/or donate to these schools, and to date they’ve completed 29 of these projects.

Loose Change has a commitment to working in close collaboration with the villagers in order to ensure that what is provided is truly needed and will make a difference. For example, on this year’s trip, they found a school building badly damaged by an earthquake earlier in the year, and have pledged the $6,000 needed to repair it.

I gathered that the mission of the organization is to support rural communities with schools, and positively impact school kids, home and abroad, by allowing/empowering them to make big effects on the world. Rachel is an example, whom we’ll meet in the next epi. So, with school supplies in hand….err on horseback, one of the missions was to deliver supplies to La Morada.

  • Daniel, Rachel, & Dr. Lisa DeLeonardis (Rachel’s advisor who did not attend the trip)

Daniel, Rachel, and Dr. DeLeonardis at Johns Hopkins set out to use archaeological findings to shore up some science on ancient civilization timelines. Also, it would be beneficial to have the information in-hand – hence, scan data. Insert me. “The purpose of the trip was first and foremost to document the artifacts (shaman vessels and monolith), with the hopes of later presenting and/or publishing iconographic analysis with you [me] and Daniel.”

  • Nico & Emi

Nico & Emi have been going on these-type expeditions with Daniel for 10 years now, and after the last 8, were wrapping up the filming of these treks, Daniel, Rachel, and others for a feature-length film (looking to be released in 2020) called “My Teacher”. Check out the social media on this movie through Instagram and Facebook.

  • The Gents DRIVING our asses

Told by 2 of them – to support the philanthropic efforts for their rural neighbors. And… to have an awesome adventure.

  • The Gents GUIDING our asses

Told by 3 of them – the same; to support the philanthropic efforts for their rural neighbors.

  • Exact Metrology Inc. (EMI)

To support a good cause and showcase the company’s capabilities – even though we were getting paid some for it. Web Instagram Facebook LinkedIn Youtube

  • Artec 3D

For similar, if not the same, reasons as EMI. Web Instagram Facebook Youtube

  • Others that went

It seemed they participated for the philanthropy and excitement of a unique venture for some, and for the others, it was the philanthropy and relationships (building new ones and seeing old friends).

  • Me

I accepted this job because I felt like I was born and raised for it – pretty fit, Eagle Scout, love of Nature/Outdoorsmanship, and Philanthropy. I wanted the value gained from the challenge. My mission/objectives were to make sure that useable data of a monolith and some ancient artifacts made it back to the US to be processed and turned into scientific, and marketing, material for the scientists and EMI, respectively.

Overall, we’ll be looking to use these movies/renderings of the data, written text from the papers and blog, and a brainstorming session to come up with ways for everyone involved to benefit.

—- In any case, throughout the journey, and after, almost everyone’s “Why” was challenged, distorted, and shared collectively. —-

It was… Is beautiful

  1. You actually make it seem so easy with your
    presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I’m looking forward for
    your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!

    and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!

  7. A lot of individuals get off and find pleasure in naked bodies than with lingerie or
    clothes. Another element is vulnerability-a naked girl feels embarrassment and
    humiliation in a foreplay and that will be why it will be searched
    for. When someone is usually naked, they sense vulnerable and revealed,
    nude intercourse comes across as being more romantic than clothed one.

    Vulnerability will be a major change on especially for
    a great deal of males because they experience the feeling of dominance during sex.
    a complete great deal of nude porn focus on transmission. Nude porn is pretty normal and you can notice the
    genre connected to a entire collection of additional classes, therefore you will not really
    discover it really difficult to locate your narrative of appeal when consuming this porno.
    Some of these are bondage porn, Asian porno, and lesbian porn. Since sex will be intended
    to be a sacred ritual, watching a naked girl obtain fucked will be a good fap material for
    a number of males. Seeing a person naked is like understanding their secrets and seeing them defenseless
    for some, this is the cause why nude porno
    can be a popular genre among all viewers.|Exhibitionist men and women set off out
    for the ultimate seeing experience. They fixed their cameras up and appreciate the watch
    from across the water. Numerous have got become so into this action that
    they will usually strategy couples who are usually sunbathing to create
    a photo capture. Most voyeurs are men, nevertheless
    the sexual nature of the beach provides made some ladies who also look for out the beaches for the exact same reasons.
    They would like to participate in the act of intercourse which is
    another kind of voyeurism. In add-on to getting converted on by viewing men and females, some females who spend period at the nude beach may also fantasize about the
