Beach Comber
Hey everybody,
My name is Kirsten and I have lived here in Walton county for 20-some years. I grew up on the beaches of south Walton playing in the surf and sand. I just graduated from FSU in December with a Business degree. I have put myself through school with a few scholarships but mostly I have worked in the area since I was 12 years old.
I have been very lucky to be granted an opportunity to travel to Central America with the company, Sustainable Harvest International. This company is an American based company that works in central America to educate rural farmers on the harmful effects of slash and burn farming in the rain forest. This company buys rain forest and turns it into national forest and protects that forest. The company also buys arable land and teaches organic growing techniques. There is so much to this program, and I encourage you to check out the website. http://www.sustainableharvest.org/
I have been in contact with Luis, the program director in Panama, and he expressed an need for volunteers. I have signed up to volunteer with this program for the months of March and April.
I am currently looking for sponsors for this trip.

I am having a fund raiser this weekend, February 2, to be exact. It will be held at Cafe Rendezvous in Seaside. If you make a donation then you will be rewarded with wine, sushi, and a good feeling in your heart that you are helping needy people and the environment at the same time. The "party to plant the seed of hope" starts at 7:00Pm. There will be party favors, raffle tickets, and beautiful tee-shirts. I would be honored to be the ambassador of peace and good will from Walton County to an area that homes some of the most pristine forests in the world. To do this I need you support.
Please call me if you want more information on donations or volunteering. My number is (850)225-0060 and my email is kirstenplummer@hotmail.com.
Thank you all for taking the time to read this post!
Peace,
Kirsten
 
Re: Come supoort you life-long Santa Rosa Beach local!

Amazing idea Kirsten. I look forward to attending this event and helping to support you in your travels to assist those in need. I would like to hear more about what you are planning to do during your travels and how we can help the people of Central America.​
:clap:

Kirsten,
We here at Rendezvous want to know that we support your efforts! We know that if you are positive, smile often, and give what you can, with love in your heart, that you will influence people to do the same.
Teaching people to CONSIDER the PEOPLE that they live with in addition to the environment in which they live is a very important thing. We are so lucky to live here in Seaside, Florida. Life is beautiful, and the people here are very aware... If we work to protect the rain forest right now, then our children will enjoy surfing in Costa Ricca (we know who you are), partying in Beliz (maybe you should consider getting them a chaperone), and back packing through the rain forests of central America:chill::chill: ( awww, the flora and the fauna).
Central America is one of the most clean, healthy, and most importantly LOVING communities of people that we have ever met. The rain forests in Panama consists of a vast array of birds, reptiles, mammals, plants, and sea creatures. This intricate ecosystem is so awe inspiring. To regulate this ecosystem would help increase the overall well being of the world's health.

Go forth and save the world. We appreciate your effort. Anyone you wants to join her is also supported! Love and prosperity,
Cafe Rendezvous

Maybe we need to get our own state forest managers to quit control burns!

The party will be this evening for anyone who wants to come and have some wine and learn more about this program. I've made teeshirts and a short presentation. We also have a silent auction with pearls by Wendy and hand bags by the "The Wiz". We have also completed the website so come and check it out.
