WOW I can't believe 2 months have flown by. We have been busy with 3 volunteers who came to help out. 

Enkhmend Gereltogtokh has been here for 8 weeks designing a new logo, developing a website and hanging out with David trying to figure out how to make gold out of horse manure (composting)!!!!!

Eliane has been here 8 weeks as well and has been putting final touches on a grant application so Vida y Esperanza can find a steadier source of funding. 

Brianna Zimmerman flew in and out of here in month but left behind many new friends and some great riding lessons. She goes to Stoneleigh-Burnham School  which has equestrian studies as part of their curriculum. She helped with fence painting and teaching; and in general was joy to have around and willing to pitch in anywhere. We and Brianna are hoping to deepen the relationship between the school and the project over the next year. 

She also collected used tack which will be great help!

THANKS TO ALL THE VOLUNTEERS FOR THEIR SUPPORT AND GOOD VIBES!!!

We are still in need of support from individuals to help get the barley fodder system back up and running now that the cold weather has finally come to an end. If anyone can help out great and more importantly if you can pass the information on to friends who might be interested in helping please do!!!
