News and thoughts from the Bosque Village

Jacky, who has been volunteering with us for nearly two months, recently updated our flickr photo page.  The collections and sets were about 6 months out of date.  He selected the best photos to add to sets, which can give people a better idea of Bosque life.

We solicited Jacky’s help because of his excellent photography skills.  He has a good eye for setting up nice shots, and has captured some pretty amazing photos during his time at the Bosque.  A group favorite (taken during a capoiera class taught by Rik):

A photo he took of Alejandra and Lucy during their attempt to walk to Janitzio (which is an island…):

Brenda made a logo for the Bosque!

It is already been put to much use: for the Bosque flier, the activities board, and our letterhead. Yay! Thanks to Brenda, a volunteer here who is a freelance photographer and graphic designer.

Ideaplants.org is a blog and social networking service for the discussion of sustainable projects all over the world. A few days ago  the Bosque was highlighted in the recent blog entry on creating a sustainable lifestyle based on permaculture principles.
