Isla Verde School, Loreto
Donation protected
Friends,
Recently, our good friend Gerardo broke ground on a project that has been a dream of his for many years—building a school for children in Loreto, Mexico. The school, Isla Verde (Green Island), will have the mission of teaching local kids about conservation and recycling, about sustainable gardening in their desert climate, and about nutrition and diet. Gerardo and Isla Verde are dedicated to improving the lives of the children of Loreto, giving them life skills they can share with their families, improving their lives and the lives of the community overall.
Loreto, Mexico, is a small village located 700 miles south of San Diego on the Baja Peninusula. Situated on the stunning Sea of Cortez, this town of 15,000 is built around Mission Loreto, a historic church whose construction started in 1740 and was finished in 1744. While beautiful, this location is also remote, limiting the availability of fresh fruits and vegetables. This makes the ideals of Isla Verde all the more important.
Please, join us in supporting Gerardo, a man with a giant, giant heart and a genuine concern for others, as he brings his dream to life.
Juergen and I will be traveling to Loreto over Thanksgiving. I'd love to be able to present Gerardo with the funds then.
