Gardening at the Women Centre

“Even the smallest landscape can offer pride of ownership not only to its inhabitants but to its neighbors. The world delights in a garden… Gardening, big or small, is, in the end, all about joy” ~ Julie Moir Messervy

Gardening together

The women used to spend Friday afternoons with cooking, singing & dancing at the Women Centre. But this Friday, they spent the day by weeding and preparing the garden for vegetable plantation together with our volunteer Ms. Hannah Nohorniak from USA and teachers Rabina and Elisha. Hannah is helping the women for their English and simple mathematical calculations as a volunteer teacher. The women at VSN Women Centre have keen interest not only learning English, computer uses & Mathematical calculations. But besides all that, they enjoy and love gardening too.

Future plans

Our up coming volunteers Martyn Gray from UK, Ingvild De Wolf from Belgium & Michèle CHAMMASSIAN from France will be helping the centre during this July/ August. The goal for the women center would be that the garden would be able to supply regular vegetables and fruits that can benefit the women and their families. We are also considering growing special, more expensive types of fruit and vegetables that can be sold. And last but not least: it would be great to welcome a volunteer who has experience in the field of permaculture and can teach a little about gardening without any chemicals.

Volunteers are welcome to join the following projects and make difference:
