Meet the Delegates: Gabriel Chaman

Gabriel Chaman Salas (25)

During my life I realized that one of the principal issues that promote violence and intolerance in my country is poverty and lack of opportunities. I recognized that most of the poor population in the Andean and Amazon countries comes from the rural areas. As a responsible of “Rural Andean Peasant School of Agro business” of the NGO REDAR PERU my dream is to develop a social and economic star ups to generate new Clusters which will have to involve local people, natural and cultural resources, government and private sector to made it sustainable and also to show it as an example of how can rural people can empower themselves using approaches based on sustainable development but without forgetting their ancient knowledge.
