Earth Pulse

In a world divided by takers and givers

There's nothing more generous than Earths selfless rivers

Through the rains of the planet their pulse gives her life

They dance and make music, they too are alive

Nourishing all life on Earth, they're truly maternal

Their journey is endless and strength seems eternal

Carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders

She only gets angry when man tries to hold her

Redirecting her path and set destination

Our reservoirs and dams are her incarceration

Her kindness abused and taken for granted

Arrested for greed in spite of the planet

Chile Rivers.org... Service Learning to Promote Ecotourism to The Rivers of Chile

The Chilean Economy, in its process of rapid growth , has developed an ever increasing need for mineral and hydroelectric resources.

This new demand has targeted the lifeblood of the Chilean Tourist Economy -The Rivers of Chile.

The goals are simple: to halt damming by promoting eco-tourism to the Chilean rivers we cherish

The ChileRivers.org service learning project was started by David Hughes Founder of New River Academy and Owner of Pucon Kayak Hostel.
