Thus it makes perfect sense that in Haiti, where hunger is a problem
everywhere, schools should be helping students learn about food
production.
For quite a few years, the staff and students have been working
to build a community garden on the school grounds that can both
serve as a model for the community and provide food for the meal
served twice weekly to the school children. Extra food is served
at other school and community functions or distributed to families
in the community. The result is that students, their families, and
others in the community have been replicating techniques from this
garden at their homes. With the high cost of gasoline and Lagonav's
unimproved roads, the motivation to quit importing vegetables from
the Haitian mainland and grow them at home is high.
