The goal is to provide the local population with an alternative way of sustaining themselves while involving the whole family in organic agriculture and providing healthier food options.The volunteers will be involved in agriculture, working in a nursery to grow new and improved varieties of vegetables and crops. We will teach the local population how to plant and grow healthy produce. We will also provide a variety of different seeds which will be distributed to local families so that they can be used effectively to provide sustenance. In the evening, we will be discussing different topics, such as freedom of expression, women empowerment, peace, etc. with the local people.
