Due to the many stresses that single parents deal with, it is vital that they find a healthy way to relax, recoup, and revitalize. Many families take a vacation in order to let go of their day to day demands. Unfortunately, many single parents are unable to afford traditional vacations. We created the Empowered Camping event to teach single parents how to take their families camping by themselves. This allows them to disconnect from all electronics and reconnect to their families. We need volunteers to help teach them how to set up a tent, build a fire, safety concerns, and what essentials to pack for both survival and for comfort while in the wilderness.

Eco House es un club de gente que intenta mejorar un poquito el mundo; un espacio para que los idealistas bajen a la realidad sus utopías mentales.

Así como hay clubes de fútbol, de rugby, de danza o de ajedrez, Eco House es un club cuyo hobbie es La Ecología. La diferencia con los demás clubes es que, para ser socio, no tenés que pagar una cuota, sino hacer el Programa Agentes de Cambio.

Si has construido un castillo en el aire, no has perdido el tiempo, es allí donde debería estar. Ahora debés construir los cimientos debajo de él.
