Agriculture project becomes routine tasks of everyone at Aloha Learning Center. The students now are capable in making their own composts and know how to fertilize the soil in the gardens. They start realizing the significant of the organic veggies for their health and safety. There were many health bulletins that provide the facts about the importance of green veggies toward the development of each people that were brought to the students at ALC to read for the better knowledge.
In Cambodia, many types of veggies are imported from neighboring countries. All of those veggies are not trustable for their original quality because of the vendors try to add more chemical items to store those veggies for a longer period of time and the authority does not care much about the quality of veggies sold in the market.
Producing our own veggies is the best choice even the cost might be little high due to the small scale of production. The real benefit of veggies program at ALC are the technique in growing veggies, composting, maintenance and the safe veggies for the kitchen for around 30 people in the ALC campus.
In medium term, ALC garden will be widening to larger scale and expect to produce more veggies for commercial activities. During this period, we pilots some seasonal crops and also extend our study to the demand in the market around ALC. We possibly consider about growing some herbs that would be used for health and local market as well.
Anyway, the productions is important but we could not set it as the primary tasks for them because of the children who come to ALC have one sharp goal is education and Ag project is just an additional class for them.
ALC appreciates comments, technical advices from everyone who wishes to give us the helping hand in making this project a productive one. It is with heartfelt thanks to generous donors who always support the project at ALC.
