San Gabriel Kindergarten is located on a very fertile hill in Cusco,Peru. The soil is well suited for growing many types of vegetables, yet many of our students and their families lack adequate nutrition. By combining agriculture with education, we're creating sustainability and teaching both students and their families how to grow their own food.
We developed a greenhouse for sprouting many types of vegetables. In addition, we prepared fields for transplanting the young plants and established three potato gardens, which are progressing wonderfully.
We're learning more about local agricultural practices and sharing the information with the community as well as building it into our curriculum.
