Foundation donates to Qachuu Aloom “Mother Earth” Association

Friday, July 4th, 2008

Our dear friend, Joan, let us know of an organization started by a young Albuquerque woman based in Guatemala called Qachuu Aloom.They are bringing six Guatemalans to Tesuque, New Mexico, to participate in a hands-on sustainable farming course.They will learn new ideas to take home and apply in Guatemala.

Emily had hoped one day to have her own farm and had worked three summers at an organic farm in Montana. She had also helped her host families with farming in Mexico and Nepal.She would have believed strongly in this project and this organization.
