San Isidro is one of the work placements for the program, and two Canadians (Gaelen and Dana) work there. They are clearing out an old, overgrown property to make a garden/outside school.
They will be using the garden to teach kids about growing food, and help give the kids a sense of responsibility.
So on Saturday about six of us went to San Isidro to clear out the land, and create a garden.
When we got there the land was overgrown, with a huge pile of tree branches that needed to be chopped apart. Our tools were machetes, shovels, and rakes!
This is how the yard looked early on in the day..
We worked with some other volunteers from San Isidro, including a few from Germany, to clear out the land and create the garden.
We hadn't finish it when we left Saturday, but here are some pictures of the now almost complete project!
The pictures don't show all of the area, but the trees are still there, and underneath them is a bench and logs for sitting. It turned out quite well I think, and I got to meet some really nice new people. It was definitely worth all the hard work! :)
