Today I met with a local grandma (Popo in chinese) and she is giving us her piece of farming land (gardening spot) for us to use with the school camps in the fall. It hasn't been used in awhile so it is going to be a lot of work. There is a wetland type thing where all the locals grow veggies and stuff, and the spot is in the middle of all the locals gardens so its really cool. We need to build a fence around it so the buffalo do not get in and we also need to clean up all the garbage. They put wood and beds down ontop of the land so weeds do not grow, so it is really really a mess. Myself and a few others who work here have to get it up and running so when schools come they can help plant and take care of the garden and learn about growing your own food as part of the sustainability program we are going to start to teach here. Along with gardening they are going to learn about solar energy, composting, carbon footprinting, recycling, organic cooking,and things like that. It's really cool because we don't just teach them about it, the school does that, so they come here and they actually do hands-on things such as build toy car that runs on solar power, building fences for the garden out or recycled material, and making and caring for a compost pile.
