Hello everyone, My name is Michal Hall and I coordinate Tierralegre's organic garden education program for the secondary school. The garden at this point is producing kale, chard, basil, lettuce and bakchoy, which the students have been selling at the Friday Tianguese, and we are growing other vegetables, such as chiles and tomatoes, which are on their way to producing. As the education coordinator for the garden, I could use volunteer help in maintaining the garden as well as a few volunteers to be present during the kids' class times. Watering and weeding: A volunteer who helps maintain the garden would water, either morning or evening, and remove weeds from the vegetable beds. The garden needs to be watered twice a day every day, and I could still use some help with a few afternoons and mornings. Watering schedule: Watering takes place mornings at 8:00am and afternoons at 5:00pm. Helping during the garden class time: A volunteer who helps during the gardening course itself will assist me during the 1.5 hour class time. This person should enjoy working with kids and have a basic comprehension of Spanish. What is important is that they enjoy working with kids and have some experience in this area. Schedule: the students meet Monday at 8:30-11:00am, Wednesday at 8:30-11:00am and Thursday at 4:00pm to harvest for Friday's market. If you are interested in helping volunteer, please email me at: michaljoy.hall@yahoo.com This would be a great opportunity for anyone who appreciates organic gardening and wants to help give back to the youth in the community. The kids are very interested and invested in the project and have been since its initiation in October. So far it is a project that has enriched their lives and we hope that the program can grow in terms of community support. Saludos! Sincerely, Michal Hall Garden Education Coordinator
