Feeling re energized
Only my second blog since being in Esperanza – I think that is testament to the lack of time we have had to really reflect on our experience here with the projects. Otherwise, trust me; you would have a novel in your hand rather than these few others. All digressions aside; wow! Since we first […]
Some of the best photos from Esperanza

Recrear is a young and evolving organization; for the better or worst, all the […]
