Savannah‘s Dream
Spent the morning today supporting my good friend’s Joe and Lisa Sachen (parent’s of Savannah), founder’s of Savannah’s Organic Ranch and charity. Today they opened a small beautiful organic garden at Canyon Vista Elementary School in Aliso Viejo. The event was complete with a ribbon cutting and a emotional speech by the mayor and channel 9 news coverage. My emotions were flowing.
It was Savannah’s dream to become an organic farmer when she grew up. She hoped to educate others, especially children, on how eating healthy, organic foods, and growing them in an earth-friendly and sustainable manner, benefits not only our bodies, but ultimately, wildlife, and the earth we all share.
Her dream began while she herself battled an extremely rare and aggressive cancer of her heart. During this time, she came to love and appreciate every living creature, and became passionate about their preservation and protection, thinking so little about herself and her own situation. Because of her condition, Savannah’s activities were limited, and she spent many hours watching television, mostly choosing to watch Animal Planet and Discovery Channel. She was saddened to learn how we were depleting our natural resources and endangering our own species as well as many we share the planet with. She wanted to make it better for everyone. It was inspirational to hear such big ideas from such a little girl.
Savannah never knew she had cancer, as her parents never wanted her to live in fear for her own life. She did know, however, that she was sick, and no one was quite sure what had caused it. Savannah’s parents began to investigate the potential dangers to our bodies from pesticides on the foods we eat and toxins in the products we use, every day of our lives. As a result, her family made many changes in their daily lives, the biggest of which was switching to a completely organic, unprocessed diet. This fascinated Savannah, and when she observed the way advertisers target children with such unhealthy foods, her idea began to form.
