<div style="text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;">The short, sweet summer is nearing its end here on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada. As we continue working through the summer we think of the young fawn who was born just under our Terralingua office, and often visits us at this time.<br>
<br>
We are very excited to announce that the final arrangements are being made for the cultural exchange with the Raramuri people from Mexico. We expect them to arrive on Salt Spring Island at the end of September. We'll have more news about this on Terralingua's Facebook page as we get closer to the date.<br>
