Vegetable gardening lesson in the Netherlands
When Arnold was in the Netherlands to celebrate the 10-year anniversary, he was also able to teach the children the principles of vegetable gardening at a primary school in Overvecht. A video was made of it!
The first salad!
The first salad at the schools is early this year. Congratulations Obispo Anaya school. Thanks to good care for the school garden, the children can already enjoy the first harvest this year in April!
Date of our 10-year anniversary
We are going to celebrate our 10-year anniversary on Saturday 15 September in the Overvecht Spoorzicht School in Utrecht.
At present we are preparing an interesting and inspiring afternoon programme. More details will follow soon.
International Urban Farming Conference Berlin
On 11 September Arnold Brouwer will take part in a conference organised by the Green Liga in Berlin. All kinds of small-scale initiatives in the area of urban farming will be given the opportunity to present themselves.
Film made by USA volunteers
The Alternative Breaks volunteers helped us recently to build a fence and to establish square meter gardens at a school in Cochabamba and made a film about it.
Café NME Mundial
On Saturday 1 July from 13:15 the next Café NME Mundial will take place at Utrecht Natuurlijk (Vreugdenhillaan 31, 3526 ZB Utrecht). You will meet Arnold Brouwer who will update all of us on the activities in Bolivia. Everyone is wellcome!
Thinking Beyond Borders
Alerta Verde has prepared a programme for international volunteers (via Thinking Beyond Borders) who were recently travelling 3 months through Ecuador, Bolivia and Peru. The volunteers received a crash-course in setting up square foot gardens. With their financial and physical support we have established 17 square foot gardens in some of the poorest parts of Cochabamba. A big thank you!
