Yelba Sues Again!

Yelba Carvajal has filed another lawsuit against us, specifically directed towards the land where our Center itself is located, see satellite photo below -- the biggest shiny roof is the women's sewing co-op and the open area to the southeast is where the spinning co-op will go. This is the industrial park, threated by the first lawsuit that Yelba Carvajal brought against us. The treed area to the west of the industrial park is the Center, where the JHC-CDCA offices are located, along with the volunteer dorm and our house. This is the land threatened by the second lawsuit.

The fact that Yelba Carvajal has brought another lawsuit against us does NOT mean that the first suit has been dropped, so she now has two active lawsuits against us. We’ve been scheduled for another mediation this Thursday, April 17th, which we expect will prove as fruitless as the mediation for the first lawsuit back in February.
