Your Gift to Rosalinda: The Power of Nature
| For teenagers growing up in the heart of a city, a school garden opens up a whole new world of healthy experiences, from encouragement to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to enjoying peace and calm in nature. In an age when a third of our children will develop type 2 diabetes, changing this life sentence is urgent.
Do you realize that you have the power to support youth in our community to live the healthy lives they deserve? By donating to CUESA, you give nourishing food and connections to the natural world to the kids who need them the most.
This month, we're featuring inspiring members of our community who are growing the healthy world we want to see. Today we want you to meet Roslinda Puac, a senior at John O'Connell High School in San Francisco's Mission District. Rosalinda joined CUESA's Schoolyard to Market gardening and youth entrepreneurship program last year. Reluctant to get her hands dirty at first, she discovered a sense of purpose and well-being through her journey in the garden. |
