Plenitud PR

Plenitud Puerto Rico is a 501c3 non-profit educational farm and community dedicated to service and sustainability. We provide people with sustainability skills and knowledge needed to encourage inner growth and to live in harmony with themselves, each other, and the natural world. The heart of our service is experiential learning in sustainability and the arts that engages people in community service, fosters relationships, and creates connections.

Since its formation in 2010, Plenitud PR has focused on the research, application, and education of sustainable techniques, encompassing a range of topics including rainwater harvesting, bio-construction, urban gardening, and more. University researchers, student interns, engineers, farmers, and volunteers collaborate with Plenitud PR’s staff to put these techniques and principles into practice at the Center for Sustainable Living. Demonstration projects are then monitored and continually refined and improved until ready to be disseminated to farmers and outreach partners through workshops, publications, and demonstration projects at other sites.

Sonya has chosen Plenitud PR because the island has been close to her heart ever since visiting several years ago. She loves the people, the lush landscape, and the amazing fresh veg and fruit -- not to mention the quiet beaches and special light. Sonya is always concerned about water security and cleanliness. Plenitud PR's work to improve water security among the most vulnerable communities on the island is an outstanding example of insuring environmental sustainability and community resiliency -- two values Sonya holds central.

2018 Fall - Winter, Big Fluffy Dog Rescue

Big Fluffy Dog Rescue is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to helping giant breed and mixed breed dogs in need. Their dogs come in to rescue for many different reasons. Many were abandoned at high kill shelters. Some were turned in by owners who could not properly care for them and still others are failed livestock guardian dogs. Regardless of their origins, their goal for every dog we have is the same: a safe, happy home where each dog is a well-loved member of the family.
