Solidarity actions, street cleaning, tree planting, and recycling are part of the agenda of Adventist volunteers participating in Caleb Mission in northern Peru. The objective was to testify about environmental care and responsibility through their actions. They mobilized in squares, parks, neighborhoods, and main avenues, raising awareness among the population.

Starting at 8:00 a.m. on Monday, July 24, they began their activities together with the authorities of the San Martin, Amazonas, region and leaders of the North Peru Union Mission of Seventh-day Adventists. The volunteers have been leaving a "footprint" and developing their physical, mental, social, and spiritual lives.

The strong heat of the northern Peruvian jungle was not an excuse to stop. On the contrary, they testified to the Adventists' commitment to social responsibility and their contribution to the environment. Undoubtedly, this project is challenging volunteers to make missions a way of life.

To combat dengue fever, they joined Peruvian Union University, the Adventist Laymen’s Services and Industries (ASI), and New Time Peru, which generated a positive impact through explanatory messages on prevention and care in the Huayco area of the city of Tarapoto.

Each delegation, through their gloves of help and service, will continue to benefit hundreds of people. "For me, Caleb Mission is synonymous with service. We have come with the feeling of helping and serving. That is being a Caleb," said Joaquin Ralazabal, an Adventist volunteer.
