Together, We Can Transform Lives"
At the beginning of the pandemic, I witnessed how various social problems were laid bare, revealing deep inequities across societies. These issues ranged from low levels of education, rising poverty, and social inequality to a pervasive lack of environmental awareness. The pandemic acted as a magnifying glass, especially for the vulnerable populations in the Amazon Rainforest, who are disproportionately affected by climate change and global warming.
Determined to address these challenges, I began connecting with people through the internet—some were new acquaintances, while others were friends I had met during my previous volunteer work in different countries. Together, we organized online events to brainstorm innovative solutions for pressing social and environmental issues.
In early 2021, amidst the uncertainty of the pandemic, this grassroots initiative took shape. We recognized that vulnerable school communities were being left to face these challenges, so we mobilized volunteers worldwide to act as a united force for change.
Today, Arca Beta is officially established as an NGO based in Lima, Peru. Our mission is to empower communities in the Amazon Rainforest, addressing the interconnected challenges of climate change, education, poverty, and social inequality. Through collaboration and collective action, we continue to work tirelessly to build a more sustainable school and equitable future for all.
Our founders and international contributors share a unified commitment to the same values and principles. This shared vision allows us to collaborate seamlessly as a global team, leveraging diverse perspectives and strengths to achieve our common goals and create meaningful, lasting impact.

EMPATHY AND DO SOMETHING GOOD
I came to Peru to make an impact. I was volunteering before I joined Arca Beta, helping to create and follow-up educational projects in Peru.
I consider myself a lucky person because I had a vast and interesting professional experience in different areas, from working in logistics on how to start a project all the way to marketing management. Even in my great line of work, I felt something important was still missing: I wanted to use those skills to serve more people and the environment. When I found out that my Miguel was gathering a team in 2021, I joined right away. I’m grateful to our teammates, for your kind hearts and honesty. We have a great future ahead!

My name is Reetta, I’m a teacher from Finland. I am someone who likes to be part of educational projects and gets inspired from different cultures and global learning. I am especially interested in areas such as nature and the wellbeing of others. During the pandemic I was talking to Miguel about our global issues, and we decided to do something about it. After several online meetings, I was happy to be a part of his educational projects. I support this new organization, because it has values that are very close to my heart: such as the wellbeing of the children, global cooperation and protecting the environment.
I have always been passionate about making a difference in this world! My volunteer journey began in 2002 as a young Girl Scout member, and since then my love for helping others has grown immensely. I have been involved with several organizations throughout my life, which currently, I am the Marketing Director for a nonprofit community center in NYC. I have carried a personal dream for many years of starting my own organization in Peru as well, which is where my mother is from, and I’d like to work on education and sustainability practices. That being said, it is no wonder that when I met Miguel and was introduced to his amazing team, I felt right at home. We all have similar passions, goals and a deep love for people and their cultures. I am excited that this project has brought us together, and I am looking forward to seeing the kind of impact we are going to make together!
