2014 – Swarnapali Balika National School, Sri Lanka

Healthy eating:

Too often these days people eat a diet high in fast foods which contain unnatural additives and do not have good nutritious values. I suggested we make our own home garden in the school to cultivate fresh vegetable and fruits.

 

What we did / what we are doing
We created a school garden and grew many vegetables and fruits.

Outcome(s)
Students learn and begin to understand how they can select harmless food and develop an interest in growing and cultivating their own healthy produce.

Next steps
Hopefully this approach will spread to other schools and the home environment.
