The participation of students in food production does not only enhance their taste behaviours and nutrition status, but can possibly lead to social transformation. Social conditions are complex and therefore positive attitude towards cultivation should be built within children that will in turn help to reverse the existing food shortages. The fact is that Project DISC aims at engaging School Children and the local youth communities in real life production of Clean, Safe and Fair food through working with schools and communities.
Hi
ReplyDeleteI am a UK student studying Education for Sustainability. I will be coming to Kampala in mid October 2013 to take a short course and am looking for a volunteer placement following that. My main interests are sustainable food systems, resource awareness and engaging people through creative education.
I would be very interested to be able to meet you and find out more about the DISCC project as it appears to be something after my own hear.
I can't find a direct email on this website so I would be grateful if you can post it here so I can make more contact with you if you are interested to meet.
Kind Regards
Poppy

Hello, We would like to donate seeds we grew organically to DISCC. Is their a mailing address for us to send them to? Thank you for your time. LOVE what yoy are doing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for Thanks for the good work you are rendering. We have a community based
ReplyDeleteorganization called, Mityana Open Troop Foundation, in Uganda-Africa.
Over 11years, we have been equipping sustainable vocational skills plus providing start up tools to disadvantaged girl youths, unemployed youth due to lack of job skills, single mothers and girls expelled from schools due to teenage pregnancies, and former prostitutes. We have been conducting vocational training among disadvantaged girl
youths since 2007, where by a total number of over 750 have graduated
and started up own workshops while others got employed.
Humbly, we are looking for support of funding indigenous agriculture promotion in our vocational trainees and rural communities. Our communities have scarcity of food, due to poor methods of farming practiced, thus continuous famines. We want to ensure food security among communities.
Please how can we be supported by your good organization?
Waiting for your response. Thanks.
Kind regards,
Mathew Yawe
Executive Director Mityana Open Troop Foundation.
