4th grade salmon film goes international

It's an exciting time to be a 4th grader. 

Animation, filming, storyboards flying.

Salmon public service announcements will be shared with our newly developed friendship with a school, Yachaikury, deep in the Amazon rainforest of Colombia as a first ever attempt to reach out and share our efforts to save and preserve our local fish while students there share their efforts to save their local fish, the cucha.  
PictureThe cucha. Similar to a catfish.
Sharing our ethnobotanical garden and lessons of sustainability with students and community members that live in the largest ethnobotanical garden in the world and practice sustainability everyday has huge potential.

Make no mistake.  Scaling the technology to be current and now for our students and accessible for their community will be a challenge.  Yachaikury has no internet access, no satellite coverage and no cellular.  Hand written letters took 2-3 months, packed in a backpack.  


However, where's the fun if it isn't a challenge!  What better way to bridge what were previously barriers, using technology!  The kids can't wait!
