Program Details
I'm a university teacher at Colombia's National Pedagogic University and I manage our NGO.
Apart from the normal activites at our Cultural House, I want to start creating an ecological project near the village to stimulate our community to start thinking sustainalby and caring for the environment.
I need help structuring our project, planing activites, starting the planting and developing a way to pass on the knowledge to kids and teens of the community. If you have any experience with this, please come help me out!
