In what ways has this kit improved students awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? Our school is very pro-active when it comes to healthy eating and nutrition. We already have our own maara (vegetable garden) so this experience just added to the knowledge they already had.

“The children in my classroom had lots of fun creating their little garden. They took the responsibility of caring for them very seriously and were very proud of their badges. We had lots of fun playing the bingo game and filling in the forms. Some of our vegetables have grown big and strong and we have now replanted them in a bigger pot. We will then transfer them into our school maara (vegetable garden).”
