We feel that the essence of Sustainability Education is to guide children to tap into their innate capacity for systems thinking. We hope through this course to cultivate in families the understanding that everything is connected and our actions on this planet have consequences. Participants learn to be mindful of the impact of their actions on the natural environment and each other.

Diversity at Ixchel is celebrated, and the mutual exchange of ideas is encouraged, learning Mayan culture and cultivating more respect for this land. As well as personal relationships are built and strengthened as we play and learn alongside each other.

ARNOLD RICALDE

“The environment has been my main concern since 1994. During these 25 years, I have had the opportunity to be in the legislative, executive, civil society and business sectors, although they seem to be different sectors in everything. I have carried out activities related to the environment.”

These activities range from the realization of projects and programs, consultancies, courses, studies and in the last 3 years the manufacture, sale and installation of green walls. We have formed the company Organi-K ISSA that consists of two areas: environmental consultancies and vertical gardens or green walls. We provide environmental solutions. Currently I specialize in Integrated Solid Waste Management.
