As I have repeatedly mentioned, we have combined our project for the elderly with our program to protect the Amazon rainforest. It is so important to get this message of conservation out to the world, and we are succeeding through our emphasis on social media, principally right now, TikTok. But though we are reaching the world, we are also getting to the people who live in the region. The “crazy gringo” is well known locally and students and families are following me and what we are doing through our videos. We are doing them all in Spanish; the language of the people who are directly involved in the projection of their rainforest. To give you an example of the impact, we now have 581,000 FOLLOWERS! We have 4.1 million LIKES. And our videos have been viewed over 50 MILLION times! That is an impact! Thanks for your continued support of the work of Yachana. You can find the videos at www.tiktok.com/@yachana.com Douglas
