Presentation Summary

I will be presenting with my 12 year old son our 8 year journey in building Monarch Waystations in the South Florida area. We believe that Environmental Sustainability begins in our own back yards, and kids have a voice in this process.  We will be sharing all the Monarch garden projects we have worked on with public/private schools, MDC College, homes and churches through small grants like Disney's Friends for Change and Youth Service America. Daniel will briefly share his experience in being featured in a very special HBO documentary titled: Saving My Tomorrow.

Thank you to you and your son's mission to help sustain the environment! You are truly an inspiration to all of the people out there who seem to not care about taking care of the environment. It pains me to see that the condition of our planet worsens, more and more as the years pass by. People are becoming more and more reckless and it really needs to stop. We have to help save the environment while we still have the time do so because it will be too late one day.

Wow! Being able to present with your family most especially your son or daughter is an amazing experience. This just shows how much you value your child's opinion regarding the project that you had. This will actually help your son boost his confidence to tell his opinions most especially if he thinks that what he is presenting is the right thing. I am so happy upon knowing some details about your life as well. It seems like you really had the passion for what you are doing for this project.
