Promising first school!

We went to Pilar today to meet a very interesting Principal - Fr. Pio from Fr. Angel's High School. We're looking into schools to approach with our curriculum on nature education and I was referred to Fr. Pio by someone who had only good things to say about him - he loves working with kids, loves farming and getting his hands dirty, is very enthusiastic about non-textbook learning, etc. 

This felt like an obvious decision. 

We went there and instantly saw the fruits of Fr. Pio's labour - a large greenhouse with all sorts of vegetables and fruits, potted plants with leafy greens everywhere and a little field for growing cash crops, all in the vicinity of this very little school campus. 

The meeting couldn't have gone better. Fr. Pio was excited about everything we wanted to do, and particularly keen on starting an eco club where we could do sessions once or twice a week. What we do next, is design a proposal with budgets and meet again next week. Fingers crossed.
