Letter from the Director
Thank you for your interest in the La Paz Rural Ethnoeducational Institution. Your visit brings joy and hope to our valuable aid and education project for the Wayúu children of the La Paz district, in the department of La Guajira, Colombia.
Within those great purposes of God in the life of the human being, I returned to the land of my ancestors by maternal line - to Ranchería La Paz; today, already converted into a township.
