Checking out the San Blas and Kuna People






Andrew will be taking advantage of an opportuntiy to visit the Kuna People of Panama on a trip to the San Blas islands in early March. He will be aboard S/V Valentina for 7 days. The San Blas are the regional home of the Kuna indigenous Indians. Mission Trek has visited villages of Embera, Waunaan and Ngobe in the past two years. The Kuna were the first indigenous group to organize politically and they now enjoy some degree of autonomous liberty. During the time Andrew will have the opportunity to visit several villages and learn more about the culture of the Kuna. Building relationships and sharing experiences with go far in creating a foundation for future Mission Trek ministry trips.
