Last trip to Búa - Blogabond

Returned from Búa yesterday afternoon. Worked with Pascal on the mapping project and discussed the continuation of the work after we both leave Ecuador this month (in my case at the end of next week). Also discussed my visit to Finca Sarita with Alfonso, a Tsa'chila collaborator with Yanapuma. Seems that the campesinos in Búa could learn much from the agricultural practices in Sarampión to better care for their community and their lands. Hopefully, they will have the opportunity to visit Servio's farm to see for themselves the diversity of crops grown within the forest, the self-sufficient and nutritious diet, and community associations there.

"This is what the LORD says:
'In the time of my favor I will answer you,
and in the day of salvation I will help you;
I will keep you and will make you
to be a covenant for the people,
to restore the land
and to reassign its desolate inheritances'"

Isaiah 49:8
