I was invited to teach a cob oven workshop at the Wildflower Home, a center for young mothers in crisis, whose mission is to help lead these women towards self-reliance.
I was quite nervous to be teaching in a foreign language, but it went quite well leading by demonstration and the women had a total blast.
Better to teach such sustainable practices, rather than leading the women off to Walmart to learn how to purchase an oven, ipod or some other accutrement of consumerism.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how teaching sustainability in a Third World environment made you feel? Seems we may have more to learn from them, then vice versa?
I AM SO PROUD OF YOU ERICA! YOUR BLOG POSTS ARE SO BEAUTIFUL.
