Oaxaca has got only two seasons: dry and wet. We are at the end of the rains but it has fallen less water than normal this year, because of climate change. That is why is so important to regenerate our environment and this means slowing water, protecting the soils, increasing vegetation coverage. This we´ve doing intensely this months!
In september the famous painter Francisco Toledo passed away. This has been an enourmus loss for us: besides his artistic genius, he woked restlessly to protect communities and nature. One of his last solidarity acts was donating an engraving for our Project. We organized a raffle as a small tribute.
During this period our children´s program was specially active. More than 200 elementary scholl students visited our demonstration centers. We have introduced a new feature for this program. Parents were invited too.
We concentrated a lot of effort to carry out workshops in different fieds, from alternative building techniques to organization
