Creating Sustainability

Merging Agriculture and the Classroom

Today, we are going to price materials for a new greenhouse roof.  The current roof is in ruins. The greenhouse will be used to grow plants that will be sold to various schools in Cusco.  This will enable mothers of San Gabriel's students to work near their homes and the school by tending to the plants and thus supporting the community. Children will have supervision during non-school hours due to the proximity of their mother's new jobs, families will have a supplemental income income and students will learn about agriculture.
