Wish you could journey to some of the world’s remotest rainforest? Visit the Asháninka people with OVO Foundation and conservation charity Cool Earth.
Make a cup of tea, shoulder your imaginary backpack, and join adventurers Renee, Marco, Alex and James - normally office employees at OVO Energy in London - who’re off on a life-changing journey on behalf of OVO Foundation.
In this 12-minute film, join the team as they step far outside their comfort zone, travelling for days into the heart of the rainforest to discover how Cool Earth and OVO Foundation are working with local communities to protect the rainforest and the people who call it come.
Guided by Asháninka tribespeople, they discover why the amazonian rainforest is under threat, and how OVO Energy has supported charity Cool Earth in improving healthcare, communication and security, saving lives while preserving traditional ways of life.
From a close encounter with a poisonous snake to a breathtaking boat-trip, jungle walks to test their mettle, to practising their Spanish in new schools set up to improve outcomes for rainforest children, it’s an unforgettable journey.
Join us to meet members of the Asháninka tribe, and learn more about their traditions, from the makeup of the rainforest, to the threats and challenges these communities face. Then learn about how Cool Earth initiatives enable and support initiatives from cacao and coffee production to fish farming to help these proud people earn an income and protect their rainforest today and tomorrow.
