This week has been a week filled with logistics: plane tickets, travel insurance, belongings, apartments, the list goes on. We’re getting ready to leave the Bay Area mid August and then we’ll head to Guadalajara in late September. There is much to figure out over the next few months. Once we arrive in Guadalajara my partner, Arthur, and I will enroll in a two week language intensive home stay in Guadalajara and then look for an apartment for the next six months.

The fundraiser was a success! We are well on our way to raising enough money to purchase film making equipment. It was a warm sunny day and an excellent community of people came out to support. Karolo from International Rivers set up a table full of informational material showcasing all the good work they do. DJ Delgado of Aztlan Roots provided amazing music and set the tone for a great day. Pictures soon to follow! Thank you all for all your donations and support – this is what the grassroots is all about.
The Fundraiser is tomorrow and today is filled with last minute preparations, lots of cooking, and hopefully a bit of relaxing. Pulling an event like this together in this economic climate has been surprisingly full of abundance. There will be a sizeable raffle tomorrow, and the donations I’ve received from friends are incredible. From massage gift certificates and a night at Green Gulch Farm to beautiful art prints, jewelry, and hand crafted bags (and lovely eco-friendly children’s toys!), it’s been wonderfully overwhelming to experience the support and beauty of my network -not to mention all my friends who are cooking amazing dishes today. Thank you all.

I am deeply impressed by the simplicity and potency of the phrase “We All Live Downstream.” It’s also the title of a visually stunning slideshow of dams, river and people on the International Rivers website. International Rivers is an incredible internationally networked organization that supports grassroots organizations in more than 60 countries to achieve their overall mission “to protect rivers and defend the rights of communities that depend on them.”
