Projects in Argentina - Friends of Yryapu
Friends of Yryapu (FoYy) is a not-for-profit Canadian organization that supports the Clemencia González Intercultural School of Aboriginal Tourism. The Clemencia González School is located in an Mbya-Guaraní aboriginal village called “Yryapu” (Thunder Water) near Iguazu Falls, Argentina
The Clemencia González School was built with support from the R
