Rainbow Gatherings

Posted on by Simone

Towards the end of 2012 Nomadic Hands was making their way towards Venezuela from Central America to meet with one of their partner organisations Peace Villages Foundation. On the way, they were guided by a couple of socially and environmentally aware travellers, to a rainbow community in the north of Colombia.

Because the country’s economy depends heavily on crude oil, large petroleum corporations continue to enter the Amazon region to drill in untapped areas, forcing local communities to fight back.
