La Via Campesina Camp

As I said in an early blog the Via Campesina camp is very diverse and always filled with excitement and music! There is always fresh beans, tortillas, rice and fruit to be had, or a mat to take a quick nap on. Whenever I am there and sit down to eat I am always met with a smile and an interesting story. Whether it be someone who is part of hula hooping/organic farm community in British Columbia, or somewone who takes month long biking trips around Cuba or was part of revolutoins in Central America or farms grains in the mid-west or is fruit farmer in Guatemala. Everyone is always happy to talk and share their story. Here are some pictures from the camp!
