BELLA VISTA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
In the center of a village located in the north of the Dominican Republic, near Puerto Plata, our organization has made available to underprivileged families in Bella Vista, a land of culture where there is a community garden.
This garden, made up of more than 21 individual and community parcels of land , gives families from this disadvantaged community the opportunity to eat thanks to the cultivation of a variety of vegetables such as: tomato, cucumber, carrots, chilli , eggplant, beet, celery, onion, etc.
Little seed will become GREAT!
-
In order to allow families to cultivate these plots of land, our organization provided them free seeds, equipment and tools.
-
Among the participating families, a team of experienced gardening trainers was created . The team'role is to provide training and advice to families who are not familiar with the farming methods.
-
Also, the community garden is a good place for education . Participants learn about the varieties of vegetables available locally. They learn to grow in an environmentally friendly way.
The community garden is said to overflow from its physical location; that he is rooted in the community. It is a place where participants work in groups and learn together.
This strengthens the bonds of mutual help and exchanges among the participants
