This week, we’re mixing it up with a guest post by Gina, who recently reached out to SOIL to arrange a field trip for a group of students who live nearby the SOIL office. Take it away Gina!
We were warmly welcomed by Jimmy when we arrived with our group. He introduced the students to the idea of ecological sanitation. Our students were able to examine the specialized toilets that enable waste to be reused. They learned how waste and compost positively effects soil and plant growth. We were able to tour the garden which was a drastically different plant oasis compared to the streets of Haiti. Students saw the equipment used in the process of reusing waste, toilets being made, and compost that resulted in the hard work. The SOIL employees patiently answered the many thought provoking questions from our fascinated students. I am now bombarded with interest in starting our own garden, purchasing their toilets, and returning for future visits! I would highly recommended purchasing your own compost from this amazing organization or visiting with students of your own.
