There has been a real buzz at the GVN Foundation office in New Zealand lately. So many things are happening and it's hard to choose just one to write about! I've decided to focus on a new initiative we've started to support our partners in their fundraising efforts.
As of November, we will focus on one of our partner's work each month by featuring them in the GVN newsletter and on our blogs. This will provide our partners with the opportunity to tell the world about the amazing work they do each day and also promote any projects they are fundraising for. This month, our focus is on Alexandra from La Hesperia in Ecuador...
Seven years ago Alexandra Hoeneisen, moved to the La Hesperia 
Reserve in Ecuador and ever since, conservation became not only her work, but her life. "All facets of my life revolve in some way around protecting and rebuilding the beautiful and diverse environment that I call home, in hopes that it will remain so for our future generations".
Reserve in Ecuador and ever since, conservation became not only her work, but her life. "All facets of my life revolve in some way around protecting and rebuilding the beautiful and diverse environment that I call home, in hopes that it will remain so for our future generations".Thanks to Alexandra and the team at La Hesperia, the La Hesperia Children Nursery was recently built! Alexandra is now fundraising to create an Educational Centre for the local children.
Alexandra says at La Hesperia they
believe sustainable development is closely linked to education. “At the station we work on three interdependent and mutually reinforcing pillars of sustainable development: environmental protection, economic development and social development.” “In order to achieve these aims, education is essential—not only as isolated environmental education activities but as an integral system, starting with children of a young age, to encourage their environmental consciences, leadership, and respect of human rights. The staff at the new school will accompany the children throughout this amazing process".
Please help Alexandra achieve her dream of having an elementary school at La Hesperia by making a donation here: http://www.gvnfoundation.org/programs/projects/ecuador/lahesperia/
Thank you and have a great weekend,
Eliza
