Smiles, Laughter and Turtles


Children in Casa Comunidad's after-school program and alternative school participated in the Punta de Mita turtle liberation. Students learned about why the turtles are endangered, how to protect them, about the different species of turtles, and much more! After an informative presentation by Jim Casey, each student liberated one turtle and watched as the baby turtles made their way to the ocean. A huge thank you to Dr. Antonio Rasso and the Punta de Mita community for making this an amazing experience for everyone!

International Women's Day

Today, the world is celebrating women; the achievements of women, economically, socially, and politically. Today, the world is recognizing the strength of women from all walks of life while giving thanks for this incredible strength. Today, the world is applauding women and all that they do. As a global community, we are raising up to say THANK YOU to all women.

We want to take a moment to thank the women that we come in contact with everyday... the women who change lives everyday; the women who fight for what they believe in; the women who stand up and use their voices to move mountains; the women who support their children in their communities and embrace them with all that they have; the women who collectively make change in the world, their communities, their families and in themselves; the women who individually represent the change our world needs.

Today, and everyday, we reach out to amazing women and embrace them. We want them to know they are super heroes and gentle miracle workers. We appreciate everything that they do. Today, we celebrate women, every single one of them.

Please take a moment to look around you and celebrate the women in your life. They are mothers, teachers, sisters, healers, and so much more. Let the women in your life know what they mean to you.
