The Marion Institute has launched its’ most ambitious project to date - coordinating the construction of a naturally-built Community Learning Sharing Center in the center of Mastatal, which will both demonstrate the town’s dedication to a sustainable way of living as well as serve as a place to further educate the community.

As of today 946 bricks have already been given, raising a total of $3,784 for the cause. But don’t forget, Mother’s Day is right around the corner, so make sure to donate a brick today.
