SAVE THE LEATHERBACK TURTLES

Beauty in motion, but only 108 laying females showed up this year on the last West Coast nesting site.

These 77 Leatherback turtle eggs will be checked daily for correct temperature through the thermo-coupling wire stretching from the nest up to the beach. A Koinonia grant helped us with a students study.

Maryland Youth Project Earth

Around 1995 a Koinonia funded project placed this stunning picture of our earth in every classroom in Maryland. It was and is our hope this silent reminder to our youth of the world, both wondrous and fragile, it will instill in them a love of creation and creator.
