Today, inhabitants of these lands are raising their voices and reaching out. They want to share the seeds of sustainability, inspire, and teach by example what they have accomplished in the development of their community. They wish to multiply what they have learned, applied, and the benefits they have received with other members of forest communities of the Sierra Tarahumara.
Please join us in making this a reality for others in great need. Thank you for your donation for the implementation of further projects for Rarámuri natives of these lands.
