ViaViente provides Imo Sharman with Freedom for Life - which means she has residual income that will provide her with income for life. Her income allows her the freedom to give back to others which she loves to do on a regular basis. One of Imo's passions is giving to the children in the Vilcabamba Valley through our Andes Children's Foundation. In fact, when Imo first learned about Vilcabamba and its natural resources, she wanted to visit the valley and experience first hand the children who live there and the spectacular waterfall. Imo was recently able to do this on a very special trip to Vilcabamba.
Vilcabamba boasts remote beauty and a pristine environment. And like its mythical counterpart, Shangri-La in the Himalayan Mountains of Tibet, it is challenging to reach. In addition to traveling to a third world country in South America, travelers must venture deep into the rain forest and live in sparse accommodations. Traveling the 3+ miles of difficult terrain to reach the waterfall is difficult and dangerous, even for the young and agile. Imo, 73 years young, saw no obstacles and focused on her goal. She is one of the very few to visit Vilcabamba, meet the children in the 10 different schools that ViaViente helps support, and stand under the majesty of the waterfall.
Imo not only saw the spectacular waterfall, which is the source of Vilcabamba's mineral rich water, she also saw the natural fruit of the land and she met the "old ones" who are over 100 years of age and in excellent health.
Imo was one of the few who have been allowed to see the water bottling plant in Vilcabamba. At the plant, there is a clean room where Vilcabamba's healthful water, with its perfect balance of minerals, is bottled for our use in ViaViente. The temperature in Vilcabamba remains at around 72 degrees Farenheit or 21 degrees Celsius. Vilcabamba is close to the equator and the sun is therefore more intense there. The intense sunlight causes the natural fruits to grow a thicker skin in order to survive and it also produces the ultra high anti-oxidant values in those fruits. We use these fruits, and the mineral rich water, in ViaViente's whole food juice puree.
ViaViente believes in giving back to the people of Vilcabamba who have given us so much. Imo Sharman, now an Ambassador of The Andes Children's Foundation, believes in giving back also! Maintaining happiness in Imo's life is so easy because she gives so much...to so many people...including the children of the Vilcabamba Valley. Imo knows that happiness only comes as a by-product of helping others.
