Oral and life History Workshop:
This week we said goodbye to six of our AmeriCorps VISTA volunteers. In the last two years these VISTA led us to major environmental, social and economic achievements in the communities of the Estuary. For this special occasion, on July 15th we organized a workshop about oral history and life history provided by historian Ruth García, PH.D. Participants were able to share about their experiences, while learning to build oral histories and life stories through the development of interviews.
