Agua es Vida (Water is Life)
Living Roots is having another growth spurt! One of our priority goals this year is to hire our first full time staff member by uniting a group of Sustaining Members to make a monthly financial commitment. Fifty members contributing $20 a month for one year would get us to our goal.
This Spring, a steady shower of monthly pledges from several sustaining members (as well as a generous contribution from Eco-Alianza's Javier Mercado Scholarship Fund) brought us half-way to our goal! We recently hired the passionate, dedicated and talented Martha, whose salary we can now fund for 5 months.
When we asked a local rancher what we should call this special group of supporters, he suggested, “Grupo Cabañuelo,” the word in the mountains for “Spring Rains,” which when they come, help sustain life through the summer and bring promise for the year to come.
