The Women of Chumanzana development group is continuing to learn through workshops and visits arranged by the Kateri Fund. In March, Maria and her daughter, Yesica, accompanied Candelaria, the Fund promotor, on a visit to the Instituto Mesoamericano de Permacultura to observe and learn from the people there. Some of the things they saw were:
Maria commented that she received a lot of new knowledge and experiences, especially about different ways to plant. She enjoyed the visit and will be able to apply what she learned in her own garden. She also planned to share with the other women in the group. She never had this type of experience before and it animated her to try different kinds of vegetables.
Yesica said it was the first time she had left her village for an excursion. She had never seen so many different kinds of vegetables, ways of planting, and all the other good things there. She plans to work with her mother to implement the things they learned in their own garden. It is good to see the next generation involved!
In April, Maria and Candelaria began to share what they had learned with the other women and continued in May. There is much to share! Each month the women are learning more and putting it into practice!
