En Abril tuvimos el gusto de tener entre nosotros a un grupo de energéticos jóvenes de las comunidades de Guineales y Xojola. Durante una intensiva semana ellos recibieron la primera capitación para aprender cómo implementar un huerto orgánico escolar. Obtuvieron conocimientos teóricos y prácticos sobre agricultura orgánica y huertos orgánicos escolares, y sobre técnicas para involucrar a la comunidad en el inicio y mantenimiento de un huerto escolar. Una vez terminada la semana, los jóvenes regresaron a sus comunidades con las habilidades y los conocimientos necesarios para liderar un huerto escolar siguiendo un su plan de implementacióndesarrollado a medida para su comunidad.
Esta experiencia nos hace muy felices. Para Pueblo a Pueblo esta capacitación da un inicio exitoso a una nueva manera de empoderar jóvenes en el liderazgo de huertos orgánicos y también significa la expansión de nuestro apoyo en huertos orgánicos escolares a nuevas áreas.
Estamos orgullosos del aprendizaje que nuestros primeros jóvenes líderes ya han adquirido y sabemos que junto a su pasión e interés en huertos orgánicos, estos muchachos van a aportar recursos muy valiosos para su comunidad.

In May we were visited by a group of youths from the communities of Guineales and Xojola. They were here for the first training on how to implement an organic school garden. In the training, youths were taught about organic gardening and agriculture and learned how to start and include the community in the implementation of a school garden. All of the youths finished the training in Santiago with the abilities and knowledge needed to lead and implement a school garden in their communities.
This experience excites us for two reasons. The first is that this training represents a new way of empowering youths to take on leadership roles in their communities and it was very successful. The second reason is that we are expanding our project to new communities, which are further away from the majority of our current project sites.
We are proud of our youth leaders and know that their passion and interest in organic gardening will be a great resource for their communities.
