Today I turn 28 (yikes!) - and candidly, I could use your help. // Over the past 14 years, I have spent several months in total living and working in poor farming communities of Honduras. My love for the country has only only grown, as has my appreciation for the work we do at Sustainable Villages Honduras (SVH). // SVH is a US-based nonprofit that employs a small team doing big work on the ground in Honduras. Our agronomists work with community leaders, other NGO's, and local government, to create more sustainable food systems, enable access to water, improve family health, and more. // Ultimately, we are working to move the needle on two of our world's most pressing challenges: the migrant crisis, and climate change. // Here is where I need your help - this work only happens because of the generosity of people like YOU. We've come so far, but have greater ambitions to help more families and more communities this year. Instead of buying me a beer, will you join me and be a changemaker for Honduras? Any amount you can invest will go far, and will mean the world to me. // Learn more - link in bio 🇭🇳🌎. . . . . . #honduras #charity #nonprofit #fundraiser #birthday #svh #catrachos #latina #america #dogooder #networkforgood #sustainable #villages #honduras🇭🇳 #foodsystems #locallysourced #progressive #climatechange #farming #poverty #philanthropy #childrenoftheworld #niños

Solving the border crisis doesn't start at the border. It starts at the source. It starts when we equip children and parents with what they need to stay together and thrive in their native communities. // This year for my birthday, I'm raising money for Sustainable Villages Honduras (SVH). As a board member and volunteer, I've spent time in the communities SVH serves, and have seen firsthand how our programs provision Honduran families with the skills and resources they need to sustain their livelihood. // Let's enable Honduran families to avoid the perilous journey north, and instead power their communities to meet basic, crucial societal needs, creating a healthier and safer outlook for their children. Will you join me in creating a more humane approach to solving our border crisis, powered by our generosity?

New blog post is up! ✏ Link in bio 👆🏻 . "Part of the reason men are so unhappy today is because they are addicted to the analytical, logical, and left-brained mind. A coldly calculated life is not a joyful one to live. The natural proclivity men have towards the logical must be tempered with the warmth of emotional intelligence and intuition that all men have within, which most men suppress because they deem it feminine or weak. Meditation and mindfulness empower a man to master himself first by fully knowing and accepting all the facets of what makes him who he is.” - @satrandhir . . . . . #men #masculinity #yoga #meditation #blog #blogger #travelblogger #honduras #travel #culture #feminism #smile #humanity #kundalini #travelphotography #latino #wanderlust #reflection
