Living Ground’s journey is at a crucial juncture, and I’m reaching out for your support. Currently, I’m personally covering the weekly wages of our dedicated local staff, amounting to $615 per week. The responsibility is immense, and I’m working tirelessly to keep this lifeline intact. Currently, I am employing 4 local men (from Masanamaca) full time. They are amazing people who are working hard to both transform lands and build the project. Then there are 4 part-timers and again, all from our little community Masanamaca. They help with the gardens, weeding, weed waking, harvesting, collecting seeds. All team members are learning. I desire all team members to become leaders in Ecuador and spread this work to their fellow country -men and women as far as possible. They will have a stronger impact that the gringos (foreigners). This is very important work.
Our projects, from market gardens to a secret herbal garden, a commercial kitchen, apprenticeship quarters, and more, are shaping a future of self-reliance. I’m committed to this cause, taking no profits and channeling all my efforts into sustaining the team’s wages through my Live Blood practice and product sales. We are also creating sales and offering consults, microbe compost, a weekly UPick and gearing up to sell strange, rare and perculiar seeds and plants. The commercial kitchen is almost complete and we will offer microbe-garden to plate dinners (fundraisers) soon.
Your support is pivotal. A mere $5 weekly, equivalent to a cup of coffee in the north, can make a substantial impact. We have set up reoccuring donations that can be done weekly or monthly. By contributing, you actively participate in fostering sustainable practices and training locals to spread this work. – from nurturing soil microbes to promoting human health.
Please join me in empowering human self-reliance. Your generosity ensures the continuation of valuable projects contributing to a healthier, more sustainable future. Let’s make a difference together.
