Hi Elan, We would like to take advantage of one of these great offers. The IC students can be trained and utilized in our Thursday am 9:30-1:30pm "Sprout" home school program for part or all of the hours of that program, or integrated into some of our permaculture projects on site here, also Tutelo Park chestnut tree plantings... Let me know if any of these projects sound feasible. The group could do all or part of these projects depending upon available hours.
Thanks!
