So far, we have conducted one visit to the indigenous community. During this visit, we engaged in discussions, shared our ideas, and predominantly listened to their input. We gathered valuable information relevant to the project and proceeded to work on the initial design in Medellin. Currently, we are on the verge of returning to Puerto Esperanza for a 10-day visit. During this time, we plan to discuss our design with community members, address any changes they may wish to make, and consider any additional factors they highlight. Most of the materials for the prototype will be purchased from the community, ensuring that funds circulate within their local economy. Subsequently, we will collaborate with the indigenous community to commence the construction of the prototype. Through this collaboration, we aim not only to develop a more straightforward process for medicinal plant processing but also to raise awareness about Malaria and Dengue within the community.
UPDATE: Tikuna Cat's Claw
