By Rubén Morales Iglesias: The Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security, and Enterprise (MAFSE) on Friday donated vegetable seedlings to the Judy Diego Government Pre-School In Belmopan.
“Today the Ministry of Agriculture handed seedlings of romaine lettuce, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, and sweet pepper to the Judy Diego Government Pre-school,” MAFSE said.
“This is a part of an initiative to teach preschoolers the importance of Agriculture in their lives, to open their minds that the only way to get food is through planting.
“In this way preschoolers will be raised with agricultural skills, knowledge, hard work and responsibility,” MAFSE added.
The Judy Diego Government Pre-School said gardening is educational and develops new skills including responsibility, understanding, and self-confidence.
“Our little ones take full participation planting: Romaine lettuce, Chinese cabbage, sweet pepper, and cilantro. A huge thank you to our amazing parents that recycle and form the shapes for us to plant,” the Judy Diego Government Pre-School said in a social media post.
“Special thanks to the National Biodiversity Office, Ministry of Agriculture, Mr. Abimael Puc, and MAR fund for contributing towards our little garden.”
MAFSE said the vegetable seedlings project is financed by the MAR Fund (Meso-American Reef fund) and implemented by the Belize Biodiversity office.
