Working on an Organic Farm |
|
| The Organic Gardening
Project was launched in 2004 to assist children and veterans suffering
from the effects of Agent Orange. The main goals are to foster a harmonious
approach to agriculture within areas of environmental and human devastation,
increasing awareness of the consequences of war and, at the same time,
demonstrating positive strategies for healing and living. The primary
objective of this project is to promote healthy nutrition among the
local community and to eliminate the use of chemical products. The
farm is now producing about 60% of the required vegetables for the
village. The goal is to produce enough food to fulfill the local need
and to sell the surplus in order to raise money for the children.
Interns will be responsible for taking care of the gardens in order
to ensure an acceptable level of production. During your internship, you will live in a house located in Hanoi with other volunteers from the four corners of the world. Your daily interaction with Vietnamese volunteers who work with the partner organizations will help contribute to a rich intercultural experience, both professionally and personally. |
