Questing for Knowledge & Public Engagement- Gaetane Daniela

Right now we are learning, creating, inspiring and being inspired by water stories in Western Honduras, Central America
















For me, learning is the easy part.  I've got course, after workshop, after clinic, after class, after non-fiction book under my belt-buckle. I am a not-so-closet Geek.  I've invested time and money into diverse and seemingly unrelated subjects, from kayaking, to sheep dog training, to negotiation skills, to African dance, to tractor safety...really, the list is nearly endless.

What I wonder about often, is, what good is any of this knowledge if I don't share it?  With a background in environmental science and agriculture, how do I get some of my learnings, my passions, out into this wide world and affect change

Because that's what we all know we really need in this big wide world about now right?  Change. Engagement.  Participation.  Informed influence over the decisions that are important to us, like for example, how we keep our water safe, pure, accessible, and available...  This is what Sources-Fuentes, represents to me.  It's an opportunity, not only to learn, but to share learnings and experiences, with other people, interculturally,  and to inspire youth leaders to get involved in their own communities.  It's daunting.  It's exciting.  It's a small step.  This blog is one of the ways we are involving and inspiring more people.

Welcome to the Sources-Fuentes journey.
