Last month, I visited Project DISC in Uganda, an organization that partners with schools to integrate farming and local food traditions into the regular routine of reading, writing, and arithmetic. Earlier this week, Edward Mukiibi, Project DISC project coordinator and teacher, wrote about the visit on the group’s blog. Explaining that his goal to see his work with school children “copied all over the country and the world,” Edward hopes that through sharing his work with us, he is one step closer to that goal.
Check out more of Edward’s thoughts on the visit and see some great new photos by clicking here.
