Qachuu Aloom, Guatemala - Radio Show
Each week, he presents different topics for discussion and invites members of Qachuu Aloom to be guests on his show.
Shows have included: Seed Saving, Traditional Farming, Animal Care, Plant Medicine, Community Organizing and more…
This has been a great way to get the word out about environmental issues and to promote Qachuu Aloom.
In 2009, Women farmers and seed savers from Qachuu Aloom designed and taught their own workshops for other aspiring Guatemalan women farmers. Women from the Alta Verapaz region visited our center to participate in a 4 month farming course. All the workshops were taught by women in their own gardens! The visiting women returned home to their villages excited to establish their own gardens.
It was such a proud moment for the women of Qachuu Aloom to be able to share their skills and hard work with other women, and to evolve from Qachuu Aloom project participants to leaders and teachers of sustainable agriculture.
There is nothing like a peer-teaching model to inspire action and change!
