Changing it up

I haven't been doing any development work lately, for some reason. I have the sneaking suspicion that Deidre, the development lady, is avoiding me. I have been doing basket prep and garden work lately. I like this work cause it doesn't tax my brain so much, but its hard to make the connection with social justice when I spend 3 hours cutting green onions.

More on what I was talking about it class: I am perplexed by the executive director. He is intelligent, a good businessman. A terrible communicator. And weird. I feel like with my limited experience I could teach him some things about being a boss and a communicator.

Things I have been wondering about: NOLA Green Roots is combatting food deserts and building sustainable communities through gardens. I wonder, of all there members and volunteers, how many are actually the at-risk communities the non-profit proposes to help. When I worked at Global Green, we found that the people who were gonna work with us or who were interested in what we were doing weren't the same people we were targeting (as, were not poor or working class). You have to make a real concerted effort to reach that group, and I wonder if NOLA Green Roots is being succesfull at that.
