We wanted to introduce you to this local gardening project started by Latina women from the Harrisonburg area. They have decided to begin this project as a way of exploring sustainability, healthy lifestyles and production of their own foods. NewBridges is accompanying this project in its initial stages. Fresh Roots is interested in involving more local women to build intercultural bridges and solidarity among community members. If you want to join the group, help out, donate seeds or supplies, contact the group through https://www.facebook.com/FrescaRaices.

I believe that ‘everyone has a story to tell’. Often in the community, in schools, out in the world we meet people who sometimes touch us and their story gets hinged in our hearts for a long time to come.
