Spotlight on Equity - Esperanza Community Farms- Espanol version
41 Plays1 year ago
These resources were produced in Spanish and English with intentionality to respect the community that is being highlighted at Esperanza community Farms, who speak primarily in Spanish.
It is with great pleasure that the Center for Best Practices Education and Training team would like to highlight Esperanza Community Farms (ECF).
ECF members are a unique group of farmers, students, and activists interested in changing the world. With intentions to end world hunger- they start by focusing on the land- on an organic farm; where the natural world is ever-present. ECF members learn from nature and share in the bountiful produce they receive from their labor. We invite you to read/hear about their Farm 2 Cafeteria Project where they have partnered with a local high school to bring organic produce to high school students.
They work at creating a healthy, localized food system based on food sovereignty. “Part of being equitable is allowing people to be individuals and to do things in ways that may not align with the status quo but are effective in creating long-term sustainable change.” Mireya Gomez-Contreras Co Leader (Co-Lider)

Speaker
And I'm very happy, and I'm very happy to be here with you with me here. But when I started with the project, I started in the beginning, in the first year, when I was a child. I started with the CSA, or the work that I did with the activity principle.

Speaker
Hello. I'm Jose Ijal de Migrantes. My father Jose, my mother Rosa, Rosario, Chário, La Desián. This is the first time I've ever seen him. But I'm very happy to be here. My father is from Colombia, Mexico. My mother is from Jalisco. And I'm very happy to be here.
00:04:34
Speaker
But for me, it's my family. I don't have any sisters, but for me, it's my mom. I'm from Mexico, and my dad is from Colombia. So I'm very happy, my first son is from Colombia. And when I'm complete, my mom regressed for me, and I met her at the same time, for example, in a situation where I had a woman that I didn't know.
00:05:02
Speaker
in Mexico. But I want to say that we are going to stay with you as well. And there are a lot of memories of the work in the camp with Ms. Papaz. Because we all know that we are all in our camp together. Because we are here and we are in our camp together. Because we are here and we are in our camp together. Because we are here and we are in our camp together. Because we are in our camp together. Because we are here and we are in our camp together. Because we are in our camp together.
00:05:30
Speaker
When there's a lot of freedom, because it's my love for the dead. It's the middle line of freedom that's there at the end of the year. And what I want to do is, I think, to the end of the year. I think there are many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many,

Speaker
I don't want to say that. I don't want to say that. I don't want to say that. I don't want to say that. I don't want to say that. I don't want to say that. I don't want to say that. I don't want to say that. I don't want to say that.
00:06:39
Speaker
de lo que se la husticia social, de lo que es la lucha, de lo que es son los derechos, como se rumano, como trabajador. Pero bueno. Y eso lo aprendi cuando me unico no un grupo que se llama las buenas cafés, the Bramborais, aqui en Huaxonville. Y ese tiempo fue muy importante para mi. Y yo creo que fue se grupo en donde yo aprendi la vase para lo que me ayudo

00:07:38
Speaker
What is your history, thank you for participating, and what do you say that you don't have to say, I'm from California. I don't have to say that I'm a part of my family, but I know that you don't have to say that you're a bonito. You have to say that all of a sudden you don't have to say that you're a bonito.
00:08:04
Speaker
y que usted hacido en brown beret, que para mi fue como los heiros de los tempos de activistas a y en california y para el civil rights movement en tonses lo que usted ayacho. Vienen desde muy dentro y por mucho tempo lo que estoy escuchando. Tonses le félicito por todo lo que ayacho por los generaciones y las personas que vienen.
00:08:34
Speaker
que vienen tes pues, y que estan vieno el ejemplo, y es por eso que qué qué ríamos entre vistar usted y su programa porque mucha gente orite esta pensando en como, como puedemos hacer más equidar, como puedemos dar boz or abrir espacios para más bozas,
00:08:59
Speaker
for those people, and for those who live there, for those who don't know, thank you so much for being with us today because it's really important. We have a lot of interest in the program that I've experienced and how
00:09:23
Speaker
¿Cómo trabajan entre ustedes? ¿Y cómo diegaron a trabajar con escuelas? ¿Sí, nos pueden hablas sobre es son poquito? ¿Claro que sí? ¿Sí, es el corazón verda? ¿Pues?
Bilingual and Cultural Connections
00:09:55
Speaker
My name is Lequipo. I'm from Mexico. I live in Mexico, and I live in the U.S., but it's very fast, more fast than in Spain. And the majority of us are bilingual, I don't know. And it's very cultural. We don't have to navigate the system in this country, but it's a connection with the culture in our country. We don't have to worry about it.
00:10:06
Speaker
Esperanza community farms. Somos una quipo de...
00:10:25
Speaker
And in all of our projects, we are going to try to create more organic culture, and the ranch, or as you can see on the screen, is very big. In the middle of the pueblo of Guazónville, there is a very small place in the center of the place.
00:10:53
Speaker
And it's a quarter of a year of a preparatory at Pajaro Valley High School. When we started, it was the only activity, the only activity, that was the principal of the SACAR Las Canastas de Berturas, not the Sogares, the Las Casas de los Miambros, Aquí, Mismo, and Watsonville. But as we started,
00:11:16
Speaker
Está bamos visibility until los maestros de la escuela de la preparatoria, empezar una avenir a la granja y a preguntado yo que que esta naciendo aquí, beo el etrado, so, como puedemos traira nuestros estudiantes para que visiten, para que cosetchén, para que agan preguntas y aprendan, para sacarlos de la una, para sacarlos de la salón.
00:11:38
Speaker
And not only do you think that there are people like me, like my colleagues, who are going to be struggling, but we don't know. We don't know. We don't know. We don't know. We don't know. We don't know. We don't know. We don't know. We don't know. We don't know. We don't know. We don't know. We don't know.
00:11:58
Speaker
It's not me, it's not us, it's us. We think that we have a very, very large area, a very large area in the United States, but we are very persistent and, like all of us, I think that one of the most important parts of Harkins is that there is a group of people, and if we do that, we will not be able to do that.
00:12:23
Speaker
But it's also the students. Well, it's very important that, as we discussed in the episode, we have a lot of time. As you can see, we have a lot of relaxation. And, of course, the way we live, we have a lot of space, we have a lot of fun. It's very important.
00:12:52
Speaker
And it's all about the script I'm going to make this year, no? It's one of the things that has come up, that is a very, very eventful, no? But we don't have to ignore it. And I think that we're going to have a lot of time. And the message
00:13:15
Speaker
Estamisma ma esta trajo a otro grupo de estudiantes más grande y empeza más hablar y adia logar los estudiantes. El final, preguntar un, pero pues como puedemos hacer le para comer verdura de aqui.
00:13:28
Speaker
For example, we don't have a lot of work to do in school, and we don't have a lot of local organics. And, of course, it's important that we don't have a lot of work to do. We don't have a lot of work to do in school. We don't have a lot of work to do in school. We don't have a lot of work to do in school. We don't have a lot of work to do in school. We don't have a lot of work to do in school. We don't have a lot of work to do in school. We don't have a lot of work to do in school.
00:13:57
Speaker
natural ita no via entonces. Foy a sí como entramos a la escuela. Foy por petitción de los estudiantes. Los maestros ancido una gran ayudan a la vierto puertas para nosotros aí. Y no puedo oblar se no puedo.
00:14:14
Speaker
Estamos muy agrancidos porque la administración de la escuela, in particular, an hana pollo no mucho. Se hay reglas dentro del departamento de nutrition. Ento de los distritos que limitan esta tipo de.
00:14:31
Speaker
de trabajo, de que pueda entrar, verdura organica en fresca y local, porque hay en piedes an haber reglementos del govierno federal y estatal, pero cuando hay relaciones establecidas, con los lidres que tiene en el poder y la authorización para decircío, no? Ay manera, siempre hay manera de hacerlo, no?
Integrating Produce into Schools: Challenges and Solutions
00:14:56
Speaker
And then, of course, with a project like this, which is very similar to our other projects. We also have a project like this, where you can go to the airport, and you can see that there is a lot of students there, and they are very happy. They are very happy, they are very dedicated, and I believe that when we exit, we will have the possibility to be able to do this.
00:15:47
Speaker
the sale or the hint, no esta nacuerto. Y ai programas que tienes un meta y quiero nacel su o que tios y todo.
00:15:51
Speaker
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
00:15:58
Speaker
y después terminar de que no sabemos porque no, no todo exito, and no, no, ose a tenemos dinero, tenemos todo la intentiones y, y como se llama scientificamente eso es como trab, y no functiona, pero lo que usted esta demonstrando y distiendo es que cuando vine, organico cuando es,
00:16:26
Speaker
the sales of one and the other. This is a question of the other, because it's much better than what you said, but if we don't have three or four of the other that pass, and we have to move forward with the possibilities, there's much, much more that can be done to benefit us.
00:16:56
Speaker
It's also very important that you study because there are many programs that don't have access to the community and the best way to communicate with the community. And these programs are so organic, as well as so great, that the students are not interested.
00:17:20
Speaker
And the leader is in this list. It's super bonito when it's up to us, but when we don't have our own expectations, we must be able to do it. That's all I have for you. Thank you. Well, I'd like to say a few things that are limited.
00:17:45
Speaker
And I think it's been a very good experience to enter the sector in the UK, and I've seen a lot of it. And I think it's been a great experience. I think it's been a great experience with the university, for this opportunity.
00:18:06
Speaker
Esperanza, the work that we do with Esperanza is the work that we do with the corazón. It's a work that I do with my friends, it's a work that I do with my friends, it's a work that I do with my friends. It's a work that I do with my friends.
00:18:29
Speaker
to create a new and different world. And one of the things that has happened to me is that it is real, the rigidness of what we have done in the past. We don't know if it's the same. We don't know if it's the same, because we experience it personally. There are many projects that we have done with a rigidness.
00:18:57
Speaker
We, when we, how do we, how do we, how do we, how do we, how do we, how do we, how do we, how do we, how do we, how do we, how do we, how do we, how do we, how do we, how do we, how do we,
00:19:25
Speaker
I have a lot of ideas. I follow a lot of ideas from the community that we have been working on. For example, this interview, we have been working on Spanish, and it's been a lot of fun. I think that we have a lot of programs in the adults, as adults, that we have been working on all day, and we have been working on other things.
00:20:12
Speaker
in the future.
00:20:13
Speaker
I don't know if we're experts, but it's one of those things that we don't know, that we don't know, that we don't know, that we don't know, that we don't know, that we don't know, that we don't know, that we don't know, that we don't know, that we don't know, that we don't know, that we don't know, that we don't know, that we don't know, that we don't know, that we don't know, that we don't know, that we don't know, that we don't know, that we don't know, that we don't know, that we don't know, that we don't know, that we don't know, that we don't know, that we don't know, that we don't know, that we don't know,
00:20:42
Speaker
Entonces en el momento que los estudiantes, nos preguntaron, como le hacemos para comer verdura de aquí.
Values Driving Inclusive Community Living
00:20:52
Speaker
The first one, the most important thing is that we have to be able to understand it, but we have to be able to do it. Well, if we are able to do it, if we are able to do it, if we are able to do it, if we are able to do it, if we are able to do it, if we are able to do it, if we are able to do it, if we are able to do it, if we are able to do it,
00:21:22
Speaker
or que nuestros valores determinarón que para crear esta realidad nueva en donde todo los serres del mundo, las platitas los animales y los serres humanes tenga neso abundancia dignidad en tonses.
00:21:39
Speaker
One of the main reasons why I wanted to do this was because I wanted to study the preparatory. I think it's important to be rich, as we don't have to talk about the various organizations that work with us, including the city of Guazónville. We must be very happy. If you want to do this at this moment, work with Guazónville, when we don't have the first place to go, because we don't have a
00:22:10
Speaker
a project of color and a result of color. But it's important to know when you're here and when you're here. There's no reason why you're here. But I know when you're here, I know when you're here, I know when you're here and when you're here, I know when you're here, I know when you're here, I know when you're here.
00:22:31
Speaker
y aí veces hablando de eso, aí veces que sabemos por dentro que algo es bueno or algo de veríamos hacer ono hacer y por la cultura decimos hoy es uno es suvíciente información pero es suvíciente porque sabemos verdadar la sabíde y que sí, o que no, y muchas de veces que no escuchamos
00:22:57
Speaker
is important to us. We have been able to have our students, and not just as adults, but as a bus driver, as a student, to be able to work with them. Do you have anything to say about that? Yes, and for me,
00:23:25
Speaker
Well, I can tell you that I have my opinion personally. I have the pleasure of having an interesting interview with my preparatory friend, as a volunteer, with him, with him, with him, no, with him, with him, with him.
00:23:50
Speaker
And I think that the city of La Mignana, when we were volunteers, had to go to La Perdura to encourage me to go to the CSA. In a sense, we were able to have the rest of the people, and we were able to encourage them to go to La Perdura, and to go to Escuela, and to speak, and to serve the students. We were able to participate in the part of the students at Escuela.
00:24:32
Speaker
We are very happy, very happy, and I think that when I look back at the school, I can see it, and I can see it, and I can see it, and I can see it, and I can see it, and I can see it, and I can see it, and I can see it, and I can see it, and I can see it, and I can see it, and I can see it.
00:24:42
Speaker
But when there are a lot of changes, when there are a lot of changes, when there are a lot of changes, when there are a lot
00:25:01
Speaker
Well, we're going to do it, right? When we don't do it, we'll have the possibility to do it naturally because we live in a world that is multidimensional, right? So, as I said, it's one of the best catalysts in the world. And I don't think we're going to do it, but it's a magic in the universe.
00:25:30
Speaker
I think that we are all together. And that the material material of the world is made to be a part of the world. I think that we all have a common sense of humanity, of humanity, of humanity. And one of the things that
00:25:56
Speaker
See? It's universal, because it's all mine. And we don't have the practical practice of adaptability and filtering decisions, like we did in the previous principles and things. But it's a lot faster. There are many things that can be done with a consensus of social justice. And it can be done in a way that can be done with the people.
00:26:26
Speaker
It's been a long time since I've been here and the things that I've seen in my experience in one year, wow, I've seen a lot of confidence in the place. It's incredible the people that are here. I thank you. Thank you.
00:26:53
Speaker
What do you think about this project? Do you think it will help us in the future? And what do you think about the project of Farm to Cafeteria? What do you think about this project? What do you think about the audience?
Impact of Farm to Cafeteria Project
00:27:08
Speaker
What does it mean to have a video on their website, on community farms, on farm to cafeterias, on the way to Mass, and how they work, and how they function, and all of that.
00:27:23
Speaker
We have a lot of problems and we have to do everything we can to make sure that we are safe. But what I want to say is that the way we do it depends on what we do, what we do, what we do.
00:27:46
Speaker
la casa que es que sigue, perdán, no tenemos que precupar, no está y cuando, a mucha veces de universo esta esperando a nosotros. No nosotros a las cosas, el lo que pienzo. Perdán, pero sí que ro preguntar una preguntam más y avecitenemos más tiempo antes de terminar oe y hablando
00:28:18
Speaker
And as I said, I'm very happy to be here in this space, in this project, in this organization. I'm very happy to have a conversation with you. I'm very happy to be here with you. I'm very happy to be here with you.
00:28:44
Speaker
What do you think about this project? It's a concept that led by an organization that has been working with people who have been working with them for a long time, and it's been a project that has been dedicated to this project.
00:29:03
Speaker
I think there's a lot of relations, public relations. I think it's important for us to know what the key is. It's a key representative of the community that we work with. It's the first thing. The key is that we're confident with the community in general. And I...
00:29:30
Speaker
I think it's a language, you know, with the culture, the culture is invisible, you know, it's common to speak with people, to speak with people, to speak with people, to speak with people who are not familiar with music or music. It's also something that I think is not significant, but
00:29:56
Speaker
And the key for me is to not be with the people. Because I don't know how many people who don't know each other, like me, there are a lot of people who don't know each other. I don't know how many people in the community who are indigenous.
00:30:11
Speaker
And today, we're going to talk to our members in our group, which is going to help us with our identities, as well as our rights, as well as our identities. We don't have to be crazy, for example. I think that we have to work with a lot of people in this community. But we have to have relations with our communities, relations with their identities,
00:30:39
Speaker
I don't know if there are any relations that exist in the whole of the world, but I don't know if there are any. There are many ways that we consider ourselves professional. And I think that when we work in the sector of the country, I am a member of the group of the group of the group of the group of the group of the group of the group.
00:31:09
Speaker
In English, the revolution will not be funded. The revolution will not be financed. The revolution will not be sold on television. It is expected that most of us have more transformative transformation in this world. So today, we don't know how to do it. And the programs that come together in this world
00:31:36
Speaker
no solos que vana producir un cambio transformativo que tras esa dignidad y esa abundancia a al mundo. Sí nos fijamos en la historia esas y como hacido. Marti luto quí, no se a pancho, pancho ví, no, ellos no, no.
00:31:58
Speaker
I don't want to work with a organization, no? I don't want to work with them. But what's interesting is, and if you put it in, we'll have a lot more time for you, because for a couple of years, the sector has done a lot of work, and many of us, as we said, have experienced community reforms, it's a project that has done a lot. But it's been a long time. It's not the end. It's not the end.
00:32:56
Speaker
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
00:32:58
Speaker
el rizmo de la confianza. No se sido y sovien, pero es change happens at the rate of trust. Y entonces hacías. No pueden hacenada, sin nadir confién en usted, no vana ni hacer carse a su farm, porque vana de si, no no se con midé.
00:33:25
Speaker
Second, we don't have much time, but we do have a question, what do you think is the most critical aspect of the work of the work of the organization? The most critical aspect of the work of community farms is the element of the intergenerational work.
00:33:53
Speaker
De poder esta rodeado de personas de ocho años y de ocenta años.
00:34:03
Speaker
We have to be able to do the same things, to be able to do the same things, to be able to do the same things, to be able to do the same things, to be able to do the same things, to be able to do the same things, to be able to do the same things, to be able to do the same things, to be able to do the same things.
00:34:42
Speaker
In the personal, I would like to speak with you about pequeños. I know that you can speak with me a lot. I have many pequeños in the world, and I know that there are interactions that... ...that stand out in a very specific way. And I don't know anything about it. And it's... ...as a community of immigrants.
00:34:56
Speaker
We incorporate them and we practice them. And we do a lot of things, as a man, as a man, as a man, as a man, as a man, as a man, as a man,
00:35:08
Speaker
The cruisers, the frateras, this is one of them, this is a fratera family, it's a physical family. And it's one of those places where we don't have time to spend time, but there are still hundreds in the ground. We don't have time to spend all of our time, because there's a lot of organic food that we don't have, compared to those elements. I don't know why I don't have time for that.
00:35:38
Speaker
The important thing is that for me, I'm not the only one to do this work, and for the community that I work with. It's an element that we need to continue to do, and that's why we don't have the impact that we're having.
00:35:57
Speaker
Gracias, gracias, mirea. Y creo que tienes razon. La cultura en que vivimos tan rapido, tan separado, no sala de nuestro familias. Mejor do cuando yo, naste, esta vener in California, vivimos mejawelos, mi stios, y nosotros. En la misma bloke. Yo pense que eso era normal y todo la familaro hacián y aquestamos todos separados.
