"Help Us Save Our Community" - A request from Osmar Valenzuela in Paraguay

Do you wanna help the environment, and at the same time support the indigenous people of Paraguay?
This weekend I got a message from my friend Osmar Valenzuela. 
He told me the story on how young members of the indigenous communities in Amambay, are being forced to abandoned their tribal lands and go into the cities in search of jobs. Osmar has an idea, to start an organization named “The way of the earth can provide for us ” an association made of leaders from 10 different communities to help promote their agricultural goods, and having the communities be self sustaining, that way they can still continue passing on the values, history, arts, culture of the Pai Tavytera to the next generation.
The association will keep protecting the environment by practicing sustainable agriculture practices and protecting medical plants and the knowledge on how to use them. 
 Can you help us keep the Pai Tavytera culture alive and help them protect their enviroment? Any donation would be appreciated it. 
Send me a an email if you can help frankoweaver @ gmail . com 
 
Thank you! 
 
 

Timely interview with a member of the Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders community in Atlanta: Arjho Carino Turner

Happy to introduce my friend Arjho from the Blaan Indigenous community of the Philippines, She’s a champion for climate change, community involvement, and is an international activist in indigenous peoples' rights.  If you're passionate about indigenous people's rights and want to create change towards more sustainable future, you going to love our conversation. 
We talked 2 years to the day after meeting each other during the Climate Reality training, from what she called her "second home," Atlanta, Ga, and we talked about what we learned during our training to fight the climate crisis. 
Our conversation was just a few days before the crime that shook the country. As Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II, who we both saw in an interfaith mass in the Historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, MLK old church,  said "The lives of those who were killed here in Atlanta this week say something to us: All of us must come together, Black, white, brown, Asian, native, gay & straight. It's time to get it right, right here & right now, America" #StopAsianHate
