Libertad Educational Institution - San Onofre Municipality: The stream that runs by the school was filled with trash. To address this, students learned about watershed management and the importance of protecting the environment,. The students also planted trees around the school and painted pictures to illustrate the care and protection of the environment. The celebration included students, teachers, parents, the Sucre Departmental Government and the National Park Administrative Unit.
San Jose Educational Center - Sucre Municipality and La Mojana School - Majagual Municipality: CHF International helped both of these schools recover after recent flooding. In partnership with local construction firms and community organizations, students, parents and teachers participated in educational activities to learn about proper hygiene and disposal of human waste, as well as how to handle waste management and control pests at the school in order to protect and maintain the re-built schools in a healthy, environmentally sustainable way.
