SPONSORS PUT FIELD GLOSARY IN THE HANDS OF LATIN AMERICAN LEARNERS

in

Understory offers supporters the opportunity to directly support our work in Latin America by sponsoring copies of the Field Glossary to be delivered to sustainable agriculture practitioners South of the Rio Grande, who otherwise wouldn't be able to access this Language-learning tool. It's a chance to efficiently distribute a valuable educational resource to some needy folks, supporting the work of Understory in the process. For a limited time, $9.00 per copy will get these books distributed.
