Community Service and Donations

The Village of Jenaro Herrera is home to Eloy the shaman, and the people who live there are his blood. We do as much as we can to give back to this amazing community, and are always open to support. Please do NOT (I repeat, do NOT) feel obligated to bring anything but yourselves. However, people constantly ask about this, so we wanted to make a list so it was all in one place.


Community Service


We offer several Three Month Working Service Apprenticeships out in the community, including English classes, health care, fun classes, etc. We are open to ideas depending on what you have to offer, so please let us know if you are interested in coming down and helping out!

 

Teresa Schroeder Fund

Teresa is a 25-year-old young woman who suffered an incomplete quadriplegic spinal cord injury three years ago in a snowboarding accident. Since her injury she has had three surgeries, has undergone thousands of hours of rehabilitation, has tried many remedies both western and eastern in nature to help her body heal. While doing this she returned to college and painting with her limited arm movement and helps others who are living with similar injuries.

Teresa has been working with Infinite Light, both with the Ayahuasca blend and Sanango diets, assisting in moving her towards walking. ILP has offered to match dollar for dollar any donations supporting her work with the Plant Medicine.

Please visit her website at www.peruvianproject.com, to see more of her story or make a tax-deductable donation. Please mention Infinite Light so she can track the donations.
