Just when some are losing hope in the US public education system, Monica Estrada Saldana is finding solutions and using her voice. "Yesterday in a meeting at my children's school I stayed after with another mom and we started brain storming about creating a garden club. Well, we talked to the VP and I didn't back down. I explained the benefits of a garden and teaching the children about the science and nutritional advantages of growing your own foods and composting, all the food that get thrown away...and guess what? They approved!!!!!!! It is a small victory but being in a very low income school where some kids go hungry, I feel this will benefit the community." Sometimes dreams do come true. Thank you for being a force that helps those dreams become reality, Monica.
