Important revenue generated by selling Fine Prints and books from the Yucpa's portfolio will be donated to Yucpa communities themselves, through the work of The Wayúu Tayá foundation. Wayúu Tayá is a nonprofit organization founded in 2002 to help improve the lives of Latin-American indigenous communities while maintaining and respecting their traditions, culture and beliefs. For more information please visit: http://www.wayuutaya.org
Currently, the Wayúu Tayá Foundation in alliance with the "Universidad Central de Venezuela" helps provide tele-medicine services to thousands of Yucpa's in the Tokuko region. The tele-medicine program brings technological solutions, allowing for people in remote areas to have access to specialized, quality health services without leaving their region.
By acquiring Limited Series Collector's Fine Prints from the Yucpa's portfolio you can enhance the lives and well-being of this community. At the same time, you are acquiring a very fine piece of art work that will enhance your favorite place or will be enjoyed as a different gift family or friends.
