(English) During Y-Adapt, an interactive games-based curriculum, youth have been working on a community garden near the youth participants their school. The youth participants realised that people in the community and the town have it hard. People and students at times go hungry. That’s why the youth participants undertook gardening, which takes a small space behind the building and they encourage the community to adopt it. The youth participants grew greens, like cabbages, spinach and fruits like watermelon, tomatoes, etc.
Firstly, the youth participants found out, through research, that the schools and communities feed on unbalanced diets and some people go for days without food. The main reason for this is the lack of resources, like land, money and infertile soils, due to deforestation.
After that research, with permission from the schools principal, the youth participants decided to educate the youth at their school on how to plant crops, on a small piece of land. Next to that they acquired the resources and made the visible garden, behind their classroom blocks, and planted the fruits and vegetables.
Lastly, the youth participants engaged the nearby community into this practise of community gardening, as a way to fight femine and conserving the environment.
