Hola, Liat! O.K., let me know if the new Director is interested in the program and weŽll get in touch with her if so.

Thanks for your kind words and support! It often seems like an uphill battle, but weŽre really starting to seem some amazing results with the students involved in the "YES" (Youth Ecology and Sustainability) Inititative. And the Tierralegre Applied Ecology Center located at the parcela escolar in La Manzanilla is really coming along nicely with new composting toilets and a new outdoor kitchen with an attached bio-filter system. Both these structures were built mainly with bamboo, which is one of the most renewable and sustainable building materials on the planet!

Also, a special thanks to La Manzanilla resident Dennis Kalston for his support with the bio-filter workshop yesterday. IŽm attaching a photo from that event with the La Manzanilla secondary school students which I hope serves as an inspiration of what we can create if we put our hearts and minds to it:
