What our supporters say

“With so many years of experience to draw upon, The Juno Project is a ground breaking initiative with a valuable, enlightened message. Though small, the project catalyses rejuvenation in the Dawn Chorus area of benefit and in some of the poorest places around the world. The project empathizes with communities, engaging volunteers and advancing practical and informative learning activities that help people to feel good”, Barbara B., supporter.

The children are really happy learning and having fun in their natural environment. The gloves and socks are keeping the children lovely and warm. “

With whom we work

In order to deliver the Juno vision: “Educate to Rejuvenate: to aid & benefit our communities”, Juno Enterprise built a coherent Learning Community. This fitted with the object to build learning groups at Dawn Chorus Educational Initiative.
