"Today we are faced with a challenge that calls for a shift in our thinking, so that humanity stops threatening its life-support system. We are called to assist the Earth to heal her wounds and in the process heal our own - indeed to embrace the whole of creation in all its diversity, beauty and wonder."

In March we focused on Kenya with our boys. We made a Kenyan entree and yummy mandazis which are like mini fried doughs. Our person of the month was Wangari and I recommend this book. It contains a lot more information than I expected and the artwork...wow!!
