I went looking for the sun,
I found Logwood.
I went looking for the Logwood,
I found a people.
I went looking for a true heart,
I found true work.
The Logwood Project has been in operation since 1999. At first simply an effort to bring in Logwood dyewood for the needs of my Aurora Silk natural dye studio, it has evolved into an indigenous support and economic development project with a much larger vision.
The community can now supply the following:
Benefits to the indigenous community include a bridge for safe access, a water line so there is drinkable water in the community, a lending library of books in Spanish and English, a clinic cottage where natural medicines can be dispensed, and donations of art supplies, school supplies, and musical instruments.
This is a project of Mama D.O.C., a non-profit working to promote natural dyes and natural health. More information on the Logwood Project, Mama D.O.C., and how you can help is available from the Mama D.O.C. website.
Our health products are made from extracts harvested in the tropics from native plants. Our herbal products were developed from roots that the natives of the Dominican Republic have been using for centuries to live long, healthy lives. Supplements and botanicals are availalbe from the Natural Safe Hormones website.
Cheryl Kolander is available to give lectures and slide presentations on the Quesqueya people, Logwood, and natural dyeing.
