This year, in our continued mission to generate awareness and support for the essential school kitchen at Tamarind Tree, we're thrilled to offer 20 lucky Locavores the chance to accompany us on a day trip to the Tamarind Tree School, showcasing our collective efforts to sustain the school's kitchen. This immersive experience will not only allow you to witness the impact of these efforts firsthand, but also engage you in a unique Skill Exchange Workshop, where every participant, including you, can share and learn new skills in a vibrant, interactive setting.
