In two months, while developing, GERP was able to provide a variety of educational resources to hundreds of families directly, Terrebonne Headstart Program, Lafourche Headstart Program, Montegut Elementary, Honduras Elementary, Village East Elementary, Legion Park elementary, Pre-K at Acadian Elementary, an individual teacher at Chackbay Elementary, an individual teacher for SEC, Terrebonne High, HLB High, and a few others in need that we did not get pictures of. GERP was able to provide these resources with just over $1,200 in private donations.

As we continue to develop and move on to providing Science, Technology, Engineering, Math specific educational resources and events, we are humbled to reach out to blessed individuals and organizations in community to consider donating to the Good Earth Resilience Project. You can rest assured that you contribution will help create great impacts on educational programs/schools/colleges in our area.

GERP is currently working with LAstem, and will be in attendance at the LAstem connect summit, on February 8th, 2022 at the Raisin Canes Center in Baton Rouge. As we secure corporate sponsorships and grants, we will remain operating on private-party donations and self-funding.

Donations are accepted through the GERP website www.goodearthproject.org

THANKS to everyone for supporting our children’s education, local industries, and hurricane recovery/resiliency efforts.
God Bless you all…🙏🏼❤️💡

Day 1 of building some model floodgates, levees, digging some canals, elevating some monopoly houses, modeling some marsh and barrier islands…

These models are an awesome activity for future civil engineers, ecologist, and anyone to build skills and better understand how flood, wind, rain, and costal erosion effects our communities when storms come through.

Thanks to Hurricane Resilience Curriculum from NOAA/UCAR.

Resiliency > Recovery

We are truly exhausted from recovery here in South Louisiana. Some of us are tired of hearing the term ‘resilience’ , but what exactly does it mean to be resilient?

re·sil·ience
/rəˈzilyəns/
noun
1. the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness.
2. the ability of a substance or object to spring back into shape; elasticity.

Resilience can mean different things from various perspectives.

I think resiliency is both instinctual and built. Resilient PEOPLE are adaptive, resourceful, flexible, work together, and are confident in facing challenges. Resilient THINGS retain integrity, reassume their shape after being bent, and withstand intense pressure.

SHARE in the COMMENTS: (short stories, images, examples of what resiliency means to you…) We would love to see examples of awesome resiliency in our communities!!!!

We’ve shared some images of Walker with a live oak and sequoia trees. These trees retain resilience through many human generations of natural disaster.

Please share examples in the comments of resiliency in your lives and communities!!!
