For three consecutive years, the Boa Foundation has produced the Aniwa Gathering, a 4-day event where indigenous leaders from all over the world come to give workshops to our international community and discuss the most pressing issues that face the world today. This has proven to be a very powerful cultural exchange, raising awareness of the participants, and fulfilling a lifelong dream of the elders to connect with other indigenous cultures from around the world. It also presents an enormous opportunity for indigenous leaders to raise money for their community projects.
