Remember the little chicks we bought awhile back? Look at them now. My understanding is that they have now been returned to the farm from which their eggs came.

One picture here shows Dolly, Milton, and me. Milton, the Land Stewardship Coordinator, has been Dolly's and my most important colleague and source of information about the campus and the rainforest. Sadly, although it has improved greatly, Dolly's Spanish is at a beginning level and Milton's English is for all intents and purposes nonexistent. That is, he has never spoken any English in our presence. I am sure that more could have been accomplished this year if Milton and Dolly shared fluency in one language or the other. Having said that, they were remarkably creative in their communications and a great deal of progress was made in the area of Environmental Education here this year.

The third picture shows Antonio displaying a guitar he constructed from discarded glass. Antonio has been teaching students all over the world (Paris, Mexico, here) to produce art pieces by recycling discarded materials. The kids really enjoyed working with him. They made mirrors using discarded glass and a cement made using egg cartons.
