WHP volunteer Sand Wren translates
in a dialog between WHP president, Denny Genovese and Village leader,
Freddy Rodriguez of San Salvador, Costa Rica.
Thanks to Freddy's leadership, his
village has the purest water in all of Costa Rica, and probably in all of
Central America.
In this dialog, we
discussed the intimate relationship with nature that has shaped Costa
Rican life for 500 years, and the challenges
to this way of life brought about by recent social, economic and
technological changes.
With Sand's help, Denny and Freddy
developed a plan to increase the income of the village and it's families
through Cultural activities, Nature education and Eco-tourism.

This efficient Composting
Toilet quickly kills pathogens and produces usable compost within 2

departments of some states of the USA, including Pennsylvania, prefer
these composting toilets to flush toilets and septic systems, because they
do not pollute ground water, and help to conserve potable drinking water.
SOCIAL
- Education for sustainability and quality of life for individuals and communities

These children are learning the
skills to create the things that they want.
