Meet Carina<\/em>!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Carina is the new Communications & Media Intern for Spring 2020. Carina is a senior Community & International Development major with a minor in Global Studies and was drawn to the Huertas project out of a desire to learn about how to support just local food systems. After first hearing about Huertas and its mission of building food sovereignty by planting kitchen gardens on dairy farms with Latinx immigrant farmworkers, she instantly knew that Huertas was exactly the sort of project she wanted to get involved in. Having been raised by a Honduran grandmother and mother, Carina also has long missed the cultural richness that she enjoyed as a child. Huertas thus seemed like a natural avenue that could expose her to more Latinx culture which she has missed whilst living in Vermont.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This semester, Carina has many goals, including practicing and improving her Spanish, supporting Huertas by facilitating outreach initiatives, and gaining a deeper understanding about the challenges facing migrant farmworkers in Vermont and finding a way to communicate these issues with Vermonters across the state. She hopes that she can bring together her experience with community development and research projects and build on them as an intern for Huertas.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When considering what her future ambitions are after\ngraduating this May, Carina hopes to be able to take what she learns with\nHuertas and apply it to her studies in her graduate program. While her\ninterests span across many disciplines, she is most interested in seeds and\ntheir power to create powerful change in food systems. Already interested in\nVermont\u2019s seed systems and the prevalence of seed savers in the state, Carina\nhopes to learn more about the role that seeds and cultural appropriate planting\nmaterial and crops play in the lives of migrant farmworkers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a1Conoce a Carina! <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carina es la nueva becaria de comunicaciones y medios para la primavera de 2020! Carina es una estudiante del \u00faltimo a\u00f1o estudiando el Desarrollo Comunitario e Internacional con un menor en Estudios Globales y se sinti\u00f3 atra\u00edda por primera vez por el proyecto Huertas por el deseo de aprender sobre c\u00f3mo apoyar los sistemas alimentarios locales. Despu\u00e9s de escuchar por primera vez sobre Huertas y su misi\u00f3n de construir la soberan\u00eda alimentaria mediante el sembrado de huertas en granjas lecheras con trabajadores agr\u00edcolas inmigrantes latinos, ella supo al instante que Huertas era exactamente el tipo de proyecto que quer\u00eda participar en.  Habiendo sido criada por una abuela y madre hondure\u00f1a, Carina siempre ha extra\u00f1ado la riqueza cultural que disfrutaba de ni\u00f1a. Por lo tanto, Huertas parec\u00eda una avenida natural que podr\u00eda exponerla m\u00e1s a la cultura Latinx que se hab\u00eda extra\u00f1ado mientras viv\u00eda en Vermont. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Este\nsemestre, Carina tiene muchos objetivos, incluida la pr\u00e1ctica y la mejora de su\nespa\u00f1ol, el apoyo a Huertas al facilitar iniciativas de divulgaci\u00f3n y obtener\nuna comprensi\u00f3n m\u00e1s profunda sobre los desaf\u00edos que enfrentan los trabajadores\nagr\u00edcolas migrantes en Vermont y encontrar una manera de comunicar estos\nproblemas con otros Vermonters en todo el estado. Ella espera que pueda reunir\nsu experiencia con proyectos de desarrollo comunitario e investigaci\u00f3n y\nconstruir sobre ellos como becaria para Huertas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al\nconsiderar cu\u00e1les son sus ambiciones futuras despu\u00e9s de graduarse en mayo,\nCarina espera poder tomar lo que aprende con Huertas y aplicarlo a sus estudios\nen su programa de posgrado. Si bien sus intereses abarcan muchas disciplinas,\nest\u00e1 m\u00e1s interesada en las semillas y su poder para crear un cambio poderoso en\nlos sistemas alimentarios. Ya interesada en los sistemas de semillas de Vermont\ny la prevalencia de los ahorradores de semillas en el estado, Carina espera\naprender m\u00e1s sobre el papel que juegan las semillas y el material de cultivo y\nlos cultivos apropiados en la vida de los trabajadores agr\u00edcolas migrantes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
