Playground
11/6/2013:
- This project started 3 years ago
- There were 6 people working on it
- They had a diagnostic to figure out the needs of the community
- The children wanted flowers and a playground for their community school
- One of the UNICH students lives in the community in which it will be built
- They had three different options on where to build
- They chose Corralito; a village of 39 families, 252 people
- This village is 2,500 meters above sea level
- They are missing one signature to move forward with from the authorities
- By car, the village is 45 minutes away from where we will be staying
- They have done workshops with the children, planted gardens and there is also a community basketball court
Compost
11/13/2013:
- They want a garden to cultivate and feed families in their community
- Would like us to help prepare the ground and help organize the process
- They hope that by giving the people more food, there is potential for less immigration
- Will be in Florecilla
- 5 UNICH students working on it
- They will be using worm composting
- Our money will go towards seeds
- It is just a start, but it is an idea that needs nurturing and we will help do that
