Announcing the 3rd Pathways to a Sustainable Future

The Universal Peace Federation is happy to announce that the 3rd Annual Pathways to a Sustainable Future Project will take place in Paraguay on June 24 - July 11, 2017. This program offers unique opportunities to encounter life in the extraordinarily beautiful Pantanal wilderness as well as share and serve in an indigenous community. Our project includes activities in the modern urban center of Asuncion, Paraguay’s capital city, yet most of the project will take place in the expansive though sparsely settled region of the Chaco.

The Leda Settlement, a community established in 1999 by the Founders, Rev. Sun Myung Moon and Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, together with a team of Japanese volunteers, will host the group. The settlement at Puerto Leda covers a land area larger than that of Tokyo, Japan and has made the eradication of hunger a primary goal of its work, resulting in making cutting-edge advances at Leda in aquaculture and agriculture.

Leda’s natural environment presents many opportunities for outdoor activities such as fishing, hiking and horseback riding, as well as quiet time to watch a wide variety of birds and breathtaking sunsets over the Paraguay River. For a better understanding of the project and the breakthrough work being done at the Leda Settlement, please look at our website: www.ledaproject.com.

All participants should apply online at the website www.ledaproject.com. Each person is responsible for their international travel expenses and a project fee of $950. We recommend that participants work with their local church community in soliciting monetary support to help cover some of these expenses. For additional details, contact Rev. John Gehring at johngehring2@gmail.com.

Sincerely, Rev. John W. Gehring International Project Director
