We travelled to the Martina Bustus area to help the students build a community garden. We got an introduction to the area and the needs of the community.(clean water, lack of income..)
This was a great experience, I learned how hydroponics work and their benefits in a community like this one which lacks the possesion of rich soil.
In another trip we made to a farm, we learned about the system of bio-digestors. The idea of creating energy from waste material is incredible and would be very beneficial in every community. The technology it requires isn't complicated at all and the production cost of the 'machine' is very low when you compare it to the profit you are going to make. So it is a very wise way of producing energy.
