By Jim Graywolf Petruzzi | President, Sanctuaries of the Earth Mother
Sanctuaries of the Earth Mother is preparing radio shows and guests to highlight the River Project - especially the river clean-up since the floods this fall have devasted so many lives and such a large portion of the river. The project will be held and promoted on Global Giving and thru the virtual media that Sanctuaries is so connected to until the $20,000 goal is reached.
The devastation of the floods caused the board of Sanctuaries to help people displaced, especially since the president and vice-president were air lifted to safety four days after the floods, allowing them to understand first hand the impact of this event on lives and the land. Elders who speak at the river clean-up weekend will be teaching about the elements and how they have affected lives for generations, but how man's impact on the environment have heighted these impacts. They will be sharing the eays their ancestors worked with the planet and offering ways we can not work again with the planet in a more sustainable way.
Two new members have joined the Sanctuaries team and will be assisting with this project. Vicki Ainsworth, from Great Britain, has taken on the Communications Coordinator and is planned the media portions of the project. She has a great deal of experience in communications, especially video and radio production and promotion. Webinars around water and rivers are now also being planned. The other person, Adriana Greco is a 19 year old energy worker from Fort Collins, which will be the focal point of the project. She is helping bring other young people to the project who will work with the younger children on the event days.
