Responsible Travel
 
Blue Parallel takes people to the natural and cultural wonders of Latin America, focusing on UNESCO world heritage sites. As an organization we feel strongly about responsible travel, and want to work to sustain these areas of magnificent beauty, and indeed the cultures, and people that surround them.

Blue Parallel has made donations to Cimientos, through United Way. Cimientos works to encourage children from low income families in Argentina to remain in the formal education system and complete a high school education. Like Blue Parallel, Cimientos believe that education is an essential building block to overcome the vicious circle of poverty, lack of training and social exclusion. Education empowers people to make, and more importantly to have, choices in their future.
Currently, due to a poor economic situation and the need to earn a wage to support their families, 23% of Argentine children from 12 to 18 years of age abandon school. This severely affects not only their future development, but also the future of Argentina. The mission of this non-profit organization is to promote equal educational opportunities through programs that encourage school inclusion and improve the quality of the education offered to children from low-income families in Argentina.

At Blue Parallel we want to make a positive contribution to the places we visit. We are currently looking to select other organizations, so that we can extend our contributions to other worthy causes throughout Latin America.
