PROJECT:

The Aguaytia branch of the Brigade of Bolivarian Volunteers of Peru invites you to participate as a volunteer to reinforce the activities of the Center for Integral Family Development (Cedif), a unit of the National Integral Program for Wellbeing Familiar (INABIF), where children, adolescents and seniors are assisted. The social work done by this structure, even if little known by the population, is very important for the community. These spaces provide specialized services aimed at strengthening families, the promotion of respectful and caring family relationships and the integral development of its members.

The project aims to work with children and adults, who are a fundamental link of the integral development of our society. We hope to strenghten food security and care of the environment through the installation of BIOHUERTOS (organic orchards), which is an efficient and sustainable alternative to protect the environment and generate our own food supplies without using synthetic chemicals to control pests or fertilize the land, as well as avoiding the use of plastic bags used for package. Also, through this activity, children are taught the importance of environmental care and how to grow food in urban spaces.

The organic agricultural approach that used during this project is the Biogarden. Its agroecological production does not harm the soil or the environment, on the contrary it assures the long term productivity of the soil, fixing nutrients and absorbing only what is necessary. The control of pests and diseases is assured in a biological way, that allows achieving a natural balance in the environment, without producing toxicity or totally eliminating species, and also improves feeding with the consumption of fresh and healthy vegetables.

We welcome volunteers to be part of this program and participate in the installation activities of Bio-gardens and environmental care activities.
