Our Cat's

Remember, when we had a kitten named "Little Girl"? Well, she turned out to be a he and now we call him Little Rowdy. Another kitten ambled over to our place one morning and never left...so, now we have a female kitten named, "Lola", because we were not sure if he was a she ( like the song). Lola is also the Tagolog word for Grandmother. At first we were not letting Lola in the house, so I am sure the neighbors thought we were odd, when we were saying "Lola! you're not allowed in the house, step back!" She has wiggled her way into the house.... I have come to find out that ginger cat's tend to be male and tortoise cat's tend to be female. So, now we know, in case we have any future questions.

Sherry's Organic Farm Site
History of the Farm

ENCA Farm has been in the Acop and Cosalan Family for three generations. It is named after Enrique and Carmen Cosalan, the second generation to operate the farm after they inherited it from their parents. They spent most of their lives tilling their farm, growing fruits, vegetables and raising animals to feed and educate their 11 children about the importance of sustainable
organic farming and the history of the Ibaloi Culture.

Today the farm is experiencing rejuvenation after many years of environmental destruction due to the Santo Nino Mines and illegal logging practices. The vision for the farm is to create a space where indigenous Ibaloi Organic Farming practices are being preserved and taught throughout
the community. This space will be used as a key educational venue for teaching the importance of sustainable farming, land preservation and environmental education. It will also provide a wonderful retreat for those visitors coming from the larger cities and allow them to experience the peace and serenity that comes from spending time in beautiful, natural
places.


Anyone can volunteer and work at the farm through the following site; scroll down and on the left hand side click on the "Other Countries/WWOOF Independent lists and you will find ENCA farms:

Long time no post. Well check out our three new slide shows. The first two our from our recent trip to Japan. Holy shit is Japan expensive. And a few pics from our mid service training.

Next step was to scribble with both hands!

After the closed eyed scribbling, they had to see if they c ould find any fimaliar shapes within the scribbles. We found alot of "itlog" or eggs, "bundok" or mountains and "isda" or fish( things they see or eat everyday)

Art Therapy Group. We instructed the girls to close their eyes and start scribbling! It was met with apprehension, beacuse they wanted to make sure they were doing it "right" and not "wrong", but in the end they had a lot of fun that day, assured that nothing in art therapy group is ever "wrong".

Here we are doing the "cat/dog" breathing pose.
