Befriend a Child’s Post

Leading the planning and execution of community events is always a dynamic learning experience. Each event brings its own unique set of challenges, whether it's a panel, workshop, summit, or gala, and these differences in themes, goals, and teams mean that no two events are ever the same. Despite careful planning, unexpected obstacles always arise, requiring quick thinking and collaborative problem-solving. For example, when I organized the Rio Grande Comunidades Celebration with Nuestra Tierra, we encountered several challenges. The RSVP link malfunctioned unexpectedly, the food vendor canceled just a week before the event, our printer failed to produce the necessary flyers, and many attendees showed up without registering, making it difficult to estimate how much food we would need. These hurdles reinforced my belief that event planning is an ongoing learning process, and I thrive in that environment. One of my greatest strengths is my growth mindset—I'm always eager to learn and improve. I’m incredibly proud of how this event turned out, especially since it was my first major project with Nuestra Tierra Conservation Project. We worked together as a team to deliver a successful celebration, and the feedback from attendees showed that they had a great time. Here’s a snapshot of the event:

I like the way it is targeting specific types of bee like the Large Carder bee to emphasise that different flora and conditions are needed to keep our wild bees healthy. #habitats #native #pollinators #bees

🌟 Celebrating a Fundraising Icon 🌟 Today marks Gerald Durrell's 100th birthday. His extraordinary vision and passion forever transformed our thinking about conservation, zoos, and storytelling. More than a zoologist, Gerald was a pioneer, a storyteller, and a fantastic fundraiser. His mission to save species from extinction was matched only by his ability to bring people along on his journey through his books, captivating storytelling, and a deep sense of gratitude and kindness. 📚 It was through the power of storytelling he brought his dreams to life, inspiring countless readers to support his vision. His books didn’t just entertain; they galvanized action, allowing him to buy Jersey Zoo and lay the foundation for what is now Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust. 🌍 His legacy lives on, not just in the countless species and habitats saved but also in the people he inspired – a global network of conservationists, storytellers, and pioneers who carry his vision forward. Gerald Durrell showed us that conservation is as much about people as it is about wildlife. His foresight, determination, and ability to connect with others – through letters, stories, and personal interactions – are lessons for us all, especially in how we engage supporters and inspire change. As we celebrate with Lee Durrell a century of Gerald Durrell, let’s remember the power of storytelling, the importance of holding to your values, and the enduring impact of a bold, hopeful vision for a better world. Here’s to continuing his mission of saving species and inspiring generations. 💚 #GeraldDurrell #Conservation #Storytelling #Legacy #Durrell100
