For two days the groups studied composting, tree planting, and erosion, all timely topics considering the land around the camp had been eroding unheeded for nearly 500 years. Once back in the village, Young Friends and the young people from Coyotzingo put their new environmental skills to work. Attempts were made to save an ancient eucalyptus tree, which was being illegally burned at night to make room for an access road. Young Friends also worked with children in the village, coloring and having a good time. Bonds between the two groups formed quickly and deeply, despite barriers of language and culture.
Communication continues via the Internet.
