The Santa Julia girls are on board! The girls from the Casa Hogar Santa Julia Don Bosco orphange are going to be a part of our "A Day on the Farm" workshops. Check out their great website http://www.santajulia.org/ I am so excited. We are also working on getting the Mexiquito boys involved on a different day. The workshops will teach the girls not only basic farming skills like growing plants from seed, composting, and animal care but will also include craft hour where they will learn to take materials from the farm and turn them into wonderful things. Yogurt, cheese, gourd crafts, cornhusk dolls, basket making, dried flower art, paper making, food preservation (canning, pickling, and drying) also they will learn to be environmentally responsible with grey water systems, rain catchment, recycling and reforestation. I believe all of these things are so important and basically missing from our traditional educational system. I can't wait to get started.
