My name is Jan Oleksy.  Born and raised in Poland. University of Agriculture
in Krakow, MBA in  Animal Sciences 1977.

Since 1998 in USA working as a plant manager for Rose Acre Farms, Inc.

In 1997 I went back to Poland and bought near Krakow ran down 19 century
palace, restored it and converted to luxurious hotel which is known as
Paszkówka Palace. www.paszkowka.pl

Since then I travel a lot,  mostly between US and Poland. I like to call
myself “citizen of the world” although my roots are in Polish mountains and
my home is in USA where my wife and three adult children live.

I was able to spend few days in high Andes with local people living their lives for less than a dollar a day. This experience has changed me. I have decided to slow my business involvement and dedicate my time, effort and some of my money to the war on poverty, instead.
I have seen the beautiful Peru for tourists as we all know and want to know. And I have also seen Inca heirs: known as Andean Indigenous–people who live in poverty without hope for a better life.
But I also saw a small group of People who make a difference. Organization is called Pachamama Raymi or “Learning from best”. (www.pachamamaraymi.org). I support them in their work.
