ISBO Summer Project Sites in Jamaica and Colombia      (Click images for zoom)
¡SOMOS UN SOLO PUEBLO! These photos will give you an idea what it looks like and what is going on in some of the sites for the ISBO summer project. Some sites have been documented more than others, as you will see. In the cases of the Jamaica project, which spans three rural communities, and the mountain Colombia site, which also spans more than one community, you will see photos of some of our work projects. Both sites have farming projects and community center construction projects, as well as sport and cultural projects ongoing. One site has developed an egalitarian production venture including craft and animal husbandry aspects. In all of our projects, we are doing similar things on the same egalitarian principles. WE ARE ONE PEOPLE!
