Since 1993, CONAPAC's "Adopt-A-School" and "Environmental Education" programs have been working in the jurisdiction of Indiana providing school supplies and promoting environmental education in rural river schools. This year, donors from the United States and Europe have provided funding and Explorama Lodges the logistical support to provide over 4,000 students and teachers with school supplies and educational materials for the year. Together with specialists from the Office of Rural Education of the Peruvian Ministry of Education, the Iquitos Board of Education and the Indiana Regional Education Office, CONAPAC also sponsors workshops in the communities for teachers to renew and improve their methods of instruction.

Some of this year's educational projects include:• Distribution of school supplies for individual students and teachers, materials for the classroom, and books for the library in over 110 rural river early education, elementary and high schools. • Construction of playground equipment as part of a World Challenge program with students from the UK staying 4 nights in a village and working hand in hand with local people • Other full day service projects with students from Peru and other countries working together in rainforest villages.• Teacher workshops to reinforce new methods of teaching outside the boundaries of the classroom walls and encourage the introduction of environmental education topics in the curriculum.• Four area workshops for community leaders on the identification and analysis of their roles in the community.
