Development and Peace – Caritas Canada (DPCC), an international development organization, is organizing a Solidarity Trip to Peru from July 14-25, 2025. The goal is to promote a better understanding of DPCC’s development work on the ground. Ernesto Solari has been selected as one of the delegates to participate in this immersion experience. During the trip, delegates will have the opportunity to learn from Development and Peace partners and their work supporting those living in poverty in Peru. They will meet with the Bartolome de las Casas Institute (IBC) to learn about training community leaders , observe the work of the Episcopal Commission for Social Action (CEAS) in collecting data on the effects of mining , and travel to Iquitos in the Amazon to learn about the Centro Amazónico de Antropología y Aplicación Práctica (CAAAP) and their role in defending Amazonian peoples against extractivism. The experience also aims to foster a greater appreciation for international solidarity between Peru and Canada
To participate in this experience, each delegate is required to fundraise $3500. Delegates are encouraged to approach friends, family, companies, and organizations within their region for financial support. Raising these funds is recommended to both promote the work of Development and Peace and to financially support the delegates’ participation. We sincerely thank you for your contribution to this immersion experience and for fostering a spirit of international cooperation.
