Construction
We are excited to share an update on the ongoing construction projects within the indigenous community of Vista Alegre. We have made significant strides and have completed most of the major construction work on our new buildings. The focus has now shifted to installing screens that will protect the community from biting insects. Given our previous challenges with malaria and dengue fever, these screens are a vital step in ensuring the health and safety of the residents.

In addition to the screens, we are building essential furniture, including tables, seating, and bunk beds, to support community gatherings and provide comfortable living arrangements. We are also painting the wood used in our construction to help preserve it, reducing the need for costly repairs or replacements in the future.

Clean Water
Another important milestone is connecting the water lines from our rainwater collection tank to the bathroom and kitchen. This improvement will greatly enhance residents' living conditions and ensure access to clean water.

We have a 1000-liter tank. This is 1/3 of what we
need to make it through the dry season. |

Scholarship Campaign, 2026
We would also like to highlight an upcoming event related to our scholarship program. We will launch the
2026 scholarship campaign on Sunday, April 19th, with a livestream event from 7:00 to 8:00 PM Eastern time. During this session, we will share important information about the program, answer any questions, and provide a link for those interested in sponsoring a student for the first time or continuing their support from previous years. A detailed newsletter will be sent to all subscribers the day before the event, so stay tuned.
Additionally, the scholarship program students will receive their report cards next week, and we plan to email them to their sponsors to keep everyone informed about their progress.
If you are interested in visiting us in Vista Alegre or in the other community we work with, La Libertad, please reach out at
info@amazonpueblo.org. We would love to hear from you and discuss how you can get involved.
Thank you for your continued support in making a difference in our communities.
