The past few weeks were busy ones indeed. Between reworking our website, coordinating volunteers, preparing for the photo exposition, starting our video workshops, and helping out at IMDEC’s environmental fairs, we have been going going going. After launching the photo exposition in the newly formed El Salto Cultural House on Friday night, we helped IMDEC take it on tour in La Huizachera and Sierra del Tigre. IMDEC works with both of these communities, and runs popular environmental education programs with children.

It was a difficult journey.
