Currently I am helping maintain a 1 acre organic certified garden located in San Francisco, at Bayview/ Hunters Point, where the community is facing challenges of redevelopement. Plans include to run a road through the garden, and build more concrete jungle.
This garden provides opportunities for the youth to learn the benefits of organic gardening over conventional methods, composting techniques, recycling, and gives them a connectiveness with the earth, and affords them opportunities to eat organic foods, as well as sell the food at the local farmers market.
The garden provides a safe haven for at risk youth as well.
I am a advocate for the least represented in one of the richest cities in the world, that lacks the basic ability to providefood, shelter, and a safe place to live for all.
Truth stands firm forever, falsehood is always out of order, from the beginning, to the middle, and the end. My passion and visions for the people of this community is to help them to become self sufficient and able to provide for themselves.
