KGI: helping gardeners (little ones) in El Salvador
Kitchen Gardeners International (KGI) is working through its members and partners to plant school gardens around the world. The Centro Escolar Los Gramales (The Gramales Scholastic Center) of Morazan, El Salvador is just one school we have helped.
Aiming to add vegetables to the traditional community diet of beans, rice and tortillas, the school started a kitchen garden with tomatoes, peppers and pipian, a type of squash. After witnessing the great success of their organic garden, many local parents are now beginning to compost and garden with their children at home. That is the power of school gardens: that what happens at school doesn’t stay at school, but is passed on to and shared with family members to the benefit of the larger community.
That also happens to be the power of our “Crush Hunger” campaign. After donating, please share it with your friends and family so that we can win the America’s Giving Challenge and help more schools around the world to plant healthy gardens. Thanks.
