Aproximate English Translation of the above
(Guarani Language of Paraguay)

Far from my beloved native land and in the name of the Great Guaran Spirit, I would like to express my gratitude and reverence for inspiring my perenne quest to understand and implement my dreams and hopes of the many shamanic and indigenous heritage of the peoples of Paraguay. It is with deep love and respect for the few remaining virgin forests and its ancient traditional medicinal knowledge, that I am proudily embracing the mission of protecting and promoting a more rational utilization of the rich Paraguayan botanical-medicinal heritage to ultimately benefit its people and humankind. Our faith, experience, hardwork, and perseverance towards the attainment of our common goals of providing a better chance to economic growth for the less privileged rural communities of Paraguay, constitute the foundation to develop and establish a sucessful 'Ethnobotanical Reciprocity and Sustainable Rural Development' programs throughout the country, with the ultimate goal of improving the living standard of the peoples of Paraguay.

Lejos de mi querida tierra y en nombre del espiritu del Guaran, me permito asi encabezar estos pensamientos a fin de enzalzar, reconocer y diseminar parte del vasto conocimiento tradicional de nuestra cultura shamanica indigena Paraguaya. Es quizas debido al profundo amor y apego hacia nuestros bosques y nuestra cultura shamanica tradicional que me acompaña desde mi infancia como un sueño perenme, que puedo ocasionalmente percibir en el viento el lamento de aquella selva una vez virgen cuyo llanto clama por un mayor respeto hacia la naturaleza y la implementacion de politicas con criterios mas sustentables que favorezcan tanto nuestros recursos naturales como a nuestras communidades rurales menos privilegiadas. Tenemos fe en que nuestro esfuerzo mancomunado constituye la base del exito de nuestros programas basados en el criterio de "Reciprocidad Ethnobotanica Sustentable" los cuales facilitanran consequentemente la consecusion del antiguo y comun anhelo de mejorar el nivel de vida de una gran parte de la sociedad Paraguaya altamente dependiente del agro.
