The Cooperative Justice House and World Issues Dialogue invite you to join us for a traditional Guatemalan supper to raise money for the ChicoMendez Reforestation Project in Cantel, Guatemala. Several members of this primarily Mayan mountain community founded the project in response to the dwindling of their groundwater supply that resulted from decades ofdeforestation. Since 1999, the project has planted as many as 65,000 treesin one year. Six St. Olaf students who have briefly lived in Cantel will share their experiences with the project, the community, and its connectionto issues of sustainable development and indigenous rights. Free willdonations accepted and encouraged.
