This semester we worked with our local public school in a series of lectures about the environment, sustainability and local food chains and how they impact positively our health and the health of Mother Nature! as a final project, a group of 30 children came to SINAL to take a practical journey to understand the Atlantic Rainforest through different games and experiments.
We always begin with simple principles of soil health and organic agriculture and agroforestry, once they learn where food actually comes from, we do a cuisine workshop preparing snacks and desserts that are healthy, made of our own produce and very easy to make. Once we are done, we take all the organic waste that was left and give it to the chickens, explaining that they help us compost to give nutrients to the soil for the cycle to start all over!
Thank you to our donors who helped us bring the children to SINAL. Our campus is the only place in a 10,000 inhabitant community that provides environmental learning journeys to the local children. It is vital for them to have a healthy relationship to their environment to help us become stewards of this biome.
