We invite you to join us in supporting community initiatives
We believe in helping our neighbors, and taking small but critical steps towards a better future together. We do not have a preconceived blueprint, rather undertake a range of different projects in response to the needs of our community. Many of the problems in our community – for example poor health or lack of education – are related to poverty. Our experience has also shown us that poverty and environmental degradation are inextricably linked. For this reason, we firmly believe that you cannot work with one issue in isolation. We also have a fundamental value that animals, wild and domesticated, are an integral part of any community and should be treated as such and with respect. For these reasons, we attempt to work in a holistic way, not focusing on a single issue.
INDEED WHAT MARKS US AS UNIQUE IS THE WIDE VARIETY OF OUR PROJECTS
So one day we might be buying land in order to conserve it, the next supporting a center for disabled children and their families, building a bakery for a women’s cooperative or offering a home to an abandoned cat and her kittens. We reforest with native trees, cultivate an organic vegetable patch, offer a neutering service for dogs and cats, support local cultural and sporting events, assist individuals and families in particular need, hang bunches of bananas to feed wild birds and squirrels, paint murals in local schools, etc.
