CJI Outreach Coordinator Juan Camilo Poveda captured some moments at the Regional Meeting of Young People from Indigenous Peoples of Latin America being held in Andahuaylillas, Cusco, Peru: 
We spent the day outside getting to know the territory that is welcoming us and learning about the rich history of the Incas and contemporary Quechua people. We visited some sacred historic sites like Chinchero and Pisaq.
I spent a lot of time with the group on the bus, listening to their stories. One young person from Ecuador said that he hadn’t realized there were Indigenous peoples outside his own country before coming to the gathering. There were lots of fun games.
I am learning a lot from the Brazilian delegation, with whom I am spending a lot of time talking and translating.

CJI Outreach Coordinator Juan Camilo Poveda shared the following account of his second day at the Regional Meeting of Young People from Indigenous Peoples of Latin America being held in Cusco, Peru: 
The day started with a ritual led by the Guatemalan delegation, a Mayan Altar. 
The regional groups presented their group work from Monday - the challenges they experience but also the sources of strength; namely knowing their territories, languages and traditions.
There were two more rounds of group work.
The first was on a theme of “choice of vital importance.” Most groups chose to talk about defence of the territory; others discussed youth participation. Each group discussed what elders, adults, and young people say about their chosen themes, and what practices and values have empowered communities through generations. The groups also talked about the changes they have witnessed in their territories and how they have been affected by them. 
The second round invited groups to talk about a broader range of issues and asked for their input on ways their communities are addressing them and what still needs to be done. 
We closed the day of work with a Mayan prayer. 
We then had a cultural night, an “Abya Yala’s Got Talent” session, where people shared their talents, dances and songs.

Last weekend, CJI Executive Director Jenny Cafiso and International Programs Coordinator Juan Emilio Hernandez crossed the border from Haiti into the Dominican Republic, where they were warmly welcomed by Fr. Osvaldo Concepción, SJ, director of Centro Montalvo, a Jesuit-led organization and CJI partner. 
In La Rosa, in the municipality of Restauración, they met Marimenda—a migrant leader supporting women’s and farmers’ groups, as well as a community greenhouse. She is also defending her territory against the proposed Neita mining project, linked to Canadian company. Community advocates warn that mining in this border region could threaten shared water systems, including the Artibonite River, with serious environmental, social, and public-health consequences. 
Jenny and Juan also visited a community living with the devastating impacts of mining waste. Residents described losing access to safe drinking water and facing harm to their health, animals, and land contamination. Their struggle, ongoing since 2011, remains a powerful example of community resistance against extractive industries.
They ended their visit to the Dominican Republic by meeting with the team at Centro Montalvo, whose work advances social justice, human rights, migration advocacy, environmental action, youth leadership, and community-based research. CJI is supporting a Centro Montalvo project, Climate Justice: Community Action Against Extractivism.

Jenny and Juan also visited a community living with the devastating impacts of mining waste. Residents described losing access to safe drinking water and facing harm to their health, animals, and land contamination. Their struggle, ongoing since 2011, remains a powerful example of community resistance against extractive industries. They ended their visit to the Dominican Republic by meeting with the team at Centro Montalvo, whose work advances social justice, human rights, migration advocacy, environmental action, youth leadership, and community-based research. CJI is supporting a Centro Montalvo project, Climate Justice: Community Action Against Extractivism. Learn more about Centro Montalvo: Click link in bio.

On the International Day of Peace, Canadian Jesuits International (CJI) highlights the role played by its Jesuit partners in promoting a culture of safety, dignity, respect for human rights, and cooperation.
In Chiapas, Mexico, the Indigenous Rights Centre (CEDIAC) is training Tseltal communities in Indigenous normative system and leadership to strengthen peace and stability their communities. This means following traditional practices of governance, including conflict resolution.
The CJI-supported initiative combines a diploma course in Indigenous normative system, coordinated meetings among social, political, and church actors, and youth-led actions to strengthen access to justice within the community. In a region deeply affected by violence and institutional breakdown, these efforts help restore the social fabric by reaffirming Tseltal values and traditions. 
Young participants describe the workshops as transformative, motivating them to take on leadership roles and share their knowledge. 
As  UN Secretary-General António Guterres reminds us in his message marking this day, “peace isn’t just built in conference rooms—it is shaped by everyone, everywhere, every day.”
This year’s theme, Invest in Peace: For Everyone, Everywhere, Every Day, “ honours the 'everyday architects of peace'—people driving local action, laying the groundwork for stability, and building a lasting peace from the ground up.”

Last night, CJI International Programs Coordinator Juan Emilio Hernandez and staff from American Jesuits International visited two Fe y Alegría schools in Haiti—part of a network of 15 schools supported by Jesuit institutions, including CJI and AJI. 
Together, these schools educate over 1,500 Haitian students from early childhood through secondary level. 
"Despite high temperatures, long walks to school, and countless challenges, the students greeted us with their brightest smiles. Their resilience and hope are truly inspiring," said Juan. "Special thanks to Fr. Maréus Tousséliat, S.J., National Director of Fe y Alegría, and to the principals, teachers, and students who welcomed us."

CJI Executive Director Jenny Cafiso and International Programs Coordinator Juan Emilio Hernandez today visited the office of Service Jésuite aux Migrants (SJM)/Jesuit Service for Migrants – Haiti, where CJI supports a project that provides humanitarian support for Haitian refugees and migrants. 

Jenny and Juan also visited a reception centre that provides food, temporary shelter, hygiene kits, transportation support, and legal and accompaniment services to people repatriated from the Dominican Republic. “It was heartbreaking to hear their testimonies, struggles, and the reasons why they were forced to leave and seek a better life,” said Juan. He added that SJM provides assistance that enables people to return home with dignity.

During their meeting Fr. Germain Clerveau, SJ, SJM Director, mentioned that SM is planning an agroecological project aimed at improving the lives of Haitians and reducing outward migration.
