In the early 90¿s, a business trip took Martin Wach to Suriname, South America and his life was forever changed. The purpose of trip was to introduce sustainable micro-business as a solution to creating new trade relationships. His projects included the search for new medicines, aviculture, butterfly farming, poison dart frog research, eco-tourism to name several. He was introduced to the Maroon Medicine Man and lived with the Maroon Indians off and on for six years. The Indians were marooned in Suriname over 300 years ago by their Dutch masters. Since the day they landed, the Maroons have fought for their freedom and have been one of the protectors of our rain forests. It is only because the Maroons have been so feared that the Rain Forest still remains. The stories told by Martin Wach of their battles and bravery, their culture and social structure will delight, inform and amaze all who listen.Wach, Martin is the author of 'Great West Virginia Snow Adventure ' with ISBN 9780929915425 and ISBN 0929915429.
