Return To Ecuador
In 1994, Rachel Saint died in Ecuador after spending 36 years with the Waodani. Saint immediately traveled to Ecuador to bury her. It was then that the Woadani tribe who had known Saint as a child asked him to move his family down to live with them. After thinking the decision over with his family, he accepted the tribe's invitation, moving to the jungle in 1995. Saint worked with the Woadani to improve their living conditions by building a community center and develop a desperately needed economy.
