CULTURAL PROJECT PC-CT14 IN PERU

This volunteer project in Peru is a small museum that works to educate people on the good uses of Coca leaves. The owners have many great ideas and good goals, including: entering into schools and giving educational presentations to kids, re-building a good reputation for the coca leaf, and selling delicious coca products. Many people have a misunderstanding of Coca because of the drug that has given it a bad name. The “Museo de Coca” aims to show the health benefits and good that comes from this plant.
