In August, Greensburg welcomed the new high school Spanish teacher, Veronica Alarcon and her husband, Victor Lorente Miralles, to the community. Two weeks after making the move, Victor dropped by the Green Visitors Center to offer his time to GreenTown as a volunteer. As a bilingual speaker, he is opening up a whole new Spanish-speaking audience for us. With his wife's assistance, he got right to work translating some of our documents, including the Silo Eco-Home brochure, our GreenTour book, and a Wikipedia page. (We'll post links to these on the website as they become available.) Victor has also been a tour-guide-in-training, immersing himself in learning about the sustainable features of the local buildings, and shadowing GreenTown staff as we show visitors around town. Thanks to Victor, we are now able to offer guided tours in Spanish!
Greensburg GreenTown is a charitable nonprofit organization working in Greensburg, Kansas to rebuild the town following the devastating tornado in May of 2007.
