Follow along on Instagram or Facebook as we explore a different L’Arche value each month!

In April, we’ve been focusing on APPRECIATION OF NATURE. Check out this easy read resource sheet to dive deeper into this value at home.

L’Arche USA Engagement Specialist, Kyla Ponciano, offered her thoughts on this month’s value:

We appreciate nature so that we can be reminded that we are a part of it. We feel it, it breathes in us and through us. Nature is an amazing masterpiece that we can learn from, valuing the beauty and the gifts it offers. We should not take it for granted. We need to hold on to it and protect all that it is. We need nature to not only be happy, but to survive.


At L’Arche, we are on a mission to make the world a better place for people with intellectual disabilities. This includes appreciating and caring for the planet we all share.

How do you protect the environment?
