Brown and Cornell plan to team up in El Salvador!
The Nourish Chapters at Brown University and Cornell University are collaborating together to go to El Salvador for their International Project this year. These are two out of many Chapters that have decided to team up to go on Projects this year, and we are excited to see and facilitate increasing level of collaboration and communication between all Nourish chapters. The Brown Chapter and the Cornell Chapter decided their geographic proximity would make it easy to partner up and allow both Chapters to combine their funds to make a greater impact.
Beginning in June, 4-6 Members from each Chapter will travel to the Morazan region of El Salvador for five weeks this summer to help elementary-school student build and sustain organic, community gardens. The Project participants will also have the opportunity to teach the children on topics related to gardening and nutrition. Hopefully, the children will take this knowledge home with them and share it with their families and communities, ultimately raising the awareness of health and nutrition areas in Morazan. This Project is being accomplished through FUNDAHMER, a social non-profit focused on the development and empowerment of impoverished communities in El Salvador.
