The Cinzana School Garden project was my attempt to incorporate every sector of Peace Corps in one project. I acquired a piece of land, put up a fence, cleaned and repaired a well, rebuilt a pump, and purchased seeds and gardening materials. (That took me over a year) The children are responsible for every aspect of the garden from planting and harvesting, to selling the produce at the local market. It will allow them to learn new agricultural techniques as well as standard business techniques and mathematics. My hope is that the health of the students will also be improved by making fruits and vegetables available all year round.
