Back home in Italy she opened her own travel agency where she has worked for the past 6 years. In the meantime, she has kept up her studies of Native American Cultures with a particular interest in the most recent interactions between the indigenous peoples and their governments.

Luisa has been supporting “Soconas Incomindios,” an Italian non-profit organization that helps indigenous peoples since 1997. She currently splits her time between Italy and New York City and since November 2006 has been very busy organizing a series of fund raising events in both countries and helping to raise awareness on the indigenous peoples’ problems and needs. Her deep commitment and her expertise are the reasons why she was asked, and luckily accepted, to be on Angel Conservation’s board of directors.

As you can see from Luisa’s profile photo she has visited the Pemón recently (August 2006) bringing with her three laptops as a donation to the community.
