Many joyous and warm greetings for you in 2013. This message is being sent to you for the following purpose....creative insight. Dalma Cartagena is a school teacher in Orocovis. She has dedicated her adult career, to educating and sharing the knowledge of organic agriculture to Puerto Ricans. For many years, Dalma has taught young students the art of organic farming; at the Su Botijas school in Orocovis. Her work is truly inspirational, because she not only teach young students at the school, they have developed a small farm and cooking facility. We would like to send Dalma and one of her young student ( age 15-18) to Italy and attend the Terra Madre event in 2014 ( http://www.terramadre.info/ ). Hopefully to have Dalma present her accomplishment to the international organic community and expose a young mind, to a global farmers market. In the past, we have conducted several fundraisers to send Antonio Rullan to Terra Madre last year. We were able to raise $1,400.00 for Antonio's trip, but this time we will have to double our goal. We seek ideas and insight, on how to raise $3,000.00 before Sept.2014. Any ideas or assistance you care to share is always welcome. Thank you for your support.

Thanks to everyone who came out today and support the Old San Juan farmers market and Dalma's trip to Terra Madre. Together we were able to raise $525.00!! A special thanks must go to Laura Daen and all the market volunteers ( Suzanne, Aviva, Nilda and Marcelino), Nilsa Eberhart ( great hands), Karla, Javier, Aurora, Vanessa and Elena ( wonderful cakes and promotion), and Bess Taylor and Rita Maldonao ( perfect greens). Today Dalma gave a excellent presentation and the audience really appreciate your knowledge. If you want to contact Dalma and visit the school garden project, contact me and I'll forward your message. In the meantime, watch some of Dalma's students in the videos above this message. Our next fundraiser for Dalma's trip will be this Fall. Have a peaceful Holy week and thanks again for your gift. Remain well
