Nature solutions for Community development

A big shout out to you!! You have trusted us, and your trust and support has made an impact!

As I mentioned in a previous report, last year I was happy to run into some of our old “jaguars” (this is how we call the kids that participate or have participated in our Jaguars Youth Group in Agujitas). I had not met these guys for a while, apparently, they were busy becoming wonderful human beings.

I first run into one of them who mentioned how beneficial our environmental education program was for him. How it had served him to open his mind and dream of a better life, for him and his community. He mentioned how after we had taken them to places they never imagined to see in the country, after we had talked to them about how they had the world to explore and conquered, and about how they needed to protect their environment and their community, a spark had lit and they wanted more for themselves and their communities. They wanted to protect their environment, their home and be leaders in their communities.

I was curious, so I reached out to other kids, now adults, that had participated in our program in the past, the result was outstanding. It was wonderful to see the impact of the work of 16 years of dedicated environmental educators, that have guided these young minds into the world of conservation, but also of self-respect, leadership, teamwork and to respect and appreciate others. We then decided to make a video to collect some of the testimonies of these kids.

We have only been able to maintain this program for 16 years thanks to you and people like you, who believed in our efforts.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6ZbEsujKhY&feature=youtu.be

Please, take a minute and look at our video, and feel free to share it with your friends and brag to them how your support has actually changed the lives of many kids for the better. 

Thank you again for your trust!
