We are currently working on an extensive program involving the Pemón in Canaima National Park, Venezuela and are presently in the process of documenting their culture through a documentary film, attaining other important documents and archives such as historical photographs, anthropology books and other texts related to the Pemón. Our projects include but are not limited to, researching, and building and operating a cultural centre based in one of the Pemón communities. During that process we will look to create libraries in surrounding Pemón villages. Our activities also serve an educational purpose. Creating a documentary film, libraries, and cultural centres not only educates the public about native cultures and endangered flora and fauna but also enables indigenous cultures to thrive.

Proyecto Maniapure was introduced to the community of Kamarata through Angel Conservation and vice versa (another amazing story) and thus began the Telemedicine Project in Kamarata in January of 2006. Using the existing technology we intend to work with the Pemón and partner with Proyecto Maniapure to extend a communications model throughout the valley of Kamarata, reaching out to three different communities, two of which are involved with tourism.

Finally a sustainable development plan for ecotourism (responsible tourism) would also benefit the conservation of the Pemón culture. We plan to work within the structure and confines of the Telemedicine Project to include these locations for the benefit of medical, cultural and tourism sustainability. A natural bi-product too would be the creation of much needed employment for the local Pemón.

The objectives of PROJECT KAMARAKOTO will be reached by means of three sub-projects:
