Estimados/as Aliados/as,

Queremos expresar nuestro más profundo agradecimiento por su generoso apoyo al microproyecto "Cultivate Sustainability: Composting in 20 Schools". Aunque no logramos alcanzar el objetivo de recaudación establecido, su contribución ha sido invaluable y ha elevado la discusión sobre la importancia de la composta en las escuelas públicas Montessori que participan en el Programa Enraizando.

Gracias a su apoyo, hemos logrado sensibilizar a estudiantes, educadores y comunidades sobre los beneficios ambientales y educativos de la práctica de compostar. Este esfuerzo ha sembrado semillas de conciencia y acción hacia un futuro más sostenible y equitativo. Nos gustaría recordarles que, sin importar el resultado fiscal, cada donación ha tenido un impacto significativo en la promoción de la justicia ambiental y el bienestar de nuestros estudiantes.

Los fondos recaudados apoyarán el proyecto Enraizando de la Escuela Montessori Salomón Rondón Tollens, donde recientemente adquirieron un cajón de composta. Gracias a estos fondos, podremos proporcionarles herramientas esenciales como horquillas, cubos con tapas y guantes para facilitar el inicio de su proyecto de composta.

Próximos pasos: lo que soñamos

A pesar de los desafíos, seguimos comprometidos con el objetivo de implementar la composta en nuestras escuelas. A continuación, compartimos algunas de las metas que soñamos alcanzar en el proyecto original:

  • Fortalecer el programa educativo sobre la importancia de la composta y su impacto positivo en el medio ambiente.
  • Instalar estaciones de composta en las 20 escuelas participantes para facilitar la recolección de residuos orgánicos.
  • Capacitar a estudiantes y educadores en prácticas de manejo de residuos y sostenibilidad.
  • Fomentar la participación de la comunidad en eventos relacionados con la composta, promoviendo un enfoque colaborativo hacia la sostenibilidad.
  • Monitorear y evaluar el impacto de la iniciativa a lo largo del tiempo para compartir resultados y lecciones aprendidas con otras escuelas.

Una vez más, les agradecemos profundamente por ser parte de este esfuerzo vital. Su compromiso con la justicia ambiental y la educación sostenible es fundamental para el éxito de nuestros estudiantes y comunidades.

Con gratitud,

Instituto Nueva Escuela y cada niño, niña y jóven que da un paso hacia la seguridad alimentaria 

Donor Report: Cultivate Sustainability: Composting in 20 Schools - #64929

Dear Donors,

We want to express our deepest gratitude for your generous support of the microproject "Cultivate Sustainability: Composting in 20 Schools." Although we did not reach our established fundraising goal, your contribution has been invaluable, elevating the discussion on the importance of composting in the public Montessori schools participating in the Enraizando Program.

Thanks to your support, we have successfully raised awareness among students, educators, and communities about the environmental and educational benefits of composting. This effort has planted seeds of awareness and action towards a more sustainable and equitable future. We want to remind you that, regardless of the fiscal outcome, every donation has had a significant impact on promoting environmental justice and the well-being of our students.

The funds raised will support the Enraizando project at Salomón Rondón Tollens Montessori School, where they have just acquired a compost bin. Thanks to these funds, we will be able to provide essential tools such as pitchforks, lidded buckets, and gloves to help them start their composting project.

Next Steps: Ongoing dreams

Despite the challenges, we remain committed to the goal of implementing composting in our schools. Below are some of the goals we dreamed of achieving in the original project:

  • Strengthen the educational program on the importance of composting and its positive impact on the environment.
  • Install composting stations in the 20 participating schools to facilitate the collection of organic waste.
  • Train students and educators on waste management and sustainability practices.
  • Encourage community participation in compost-related events, promoting a collaborative approach to sustainability.
  • Monitor and evaluate the impact of the initiative over time to share results and lessons learned with other schools.

Once again, we deeply appreciate your involvement in this vital effort. Your commitment to environmental justice and sustainable education is crucial for the success of our students and communities.

With gratitude,

Instituto Nueva Escuela and every child and youth taking a step towards food security
