No se si todavia esta disponible, pero nuestros hijos encantan el Gusano Manzanito (hecho por VTech). Ha sido chevre para los edades desde 6 meses hasta pre-school, pero especialmente entre 9 y 18 meses. La sorpesa del gusano que vive dentro de la manzana es buenisima para esta edad. This is a great toy for anyone looking to reinforce a bit of spanish with their kids.

For anyone interested in sustainability and the environment, you may want to check out the following event(s):
Workshops with Paolo Lugari, founder of Gaviotas a sustainable community in Colombia…..In 1971, a group of Colombian visionaries and technicians decided to prove theyc ould thrive in one of the most brutal environments imaginable, their country’s barren, rain-leached, easter n savannas. Despite the constant threat of Colombia’s political turbulence, this is now the setting for one of the most hopeful environmental success stories ever told . For more than three decades, the scientists, artisans, peasants, ex-street kids and Guahibo Indians living in a village called Gaviotas have elevated phrases like
sustainable development an d appropriate technology from cliché to reality. Sixteen hours from the nearest major city, they invented wind turbines that convert mild tropical breezes to energy, solar collectors that work in the rain, soil-free systems to raise edible and medicinal crops, and ultra-efficient pumps to tap deep aquifers attached to children’s seesaws. Founder Paolo Lugari insists “Utopia literally means no place. We call Gaviotas a topia because it is real.”
Bring your ideas, questions, concerns and be prepared for discussions with Paolo.

Bilingual Theater for the Hip-Hop Generation presented by Taller Puertorriqueño
REPRESENTA!
Written and Performed by Paul S. Flores and Julio Cardenas Developed and Directed by Danny Hoch
WHAT: REPRESENTA! is original hip hop theater that describes what happens whenChicano spoken word artist Paul Flores and Cuban rapper Julio Cardenas meet in Cuba at the Havana Hip Hop Festival. Their relationship, their ideas, and their dreams are tested when Julio decides to stay in the United States while on tour in New York City directly following the 9/11 tragedy. REPRESENTA! provides commentary on the social/political issues of terrorism, immigration, Cuba , U.S. foreign policy after 9/11, and pan-Latino identity.
“I wrote REPRESENTA! to illuminate the contemporary Latino experience and its relationship to hip hop,” says Flores . “Hip Hop is the attitude I present to the world and the aesthetic style I represent. Latino culture is what inspires me. I wanted to show how Latinos are diverse in their cultural expressions . . . A Chicano and a Cuban-American speak different Spanish, and different English. However, this generation of Latinos is using hip hop to transcend politics, and borders, to communicate more about life in the Americas . We are creating a new future in the process.”
REPRESENTA! uses supertitles and will be performed in Spanglish, Spanish and English.
WHEN: Wednesday, April 16, 2008
7:30-9:30 p.m. Doors open at 7 p.m.
Where: Taller Puertorriqueño
