I Can School Challenge

Step 1 FEEL

List the challenges or problems in your surroundings (school,neighbourhood etc.) that bothered you.

Vegetables and other food produce sourced from outside are not always trusted to be wholesome from its source.

State the problem chosen to work and why.

Virgin land bare and at the mercy of litters all around. Instead of leaving the land bare, students thought they might as well use the land for something more profitable and productive.

Who were the people affected by the problem? What were their primary concerns?

The whole school community. Their primary concerns were that the land was rather being littered with trash.

Step 2 IMAGINE

Step 3DO

Describe very briefly the process of implementing your solution(s).

During one of our club activities, students tasked each other to participate in the clearing, picking and planting of the seedlings. They sort the help of their teachers and management to raise monies to buy essential farming tools and seedlings.

What was the result or impact of your project?

The results will be impactful when we harvest our farm produce and sell it within the school community including the school’s kitchen.

How many people were impacted by your solution(s)?

1000

What did the impacted people have to say about your project? Provide 2 quotes or testimonials:

The school’s Principal: She was so impressed by how quick students were able to carry out the project with little help from the adults and got involved throughout.

What challenges did you encounter while implementing your project, and how did you overcome them?

Getting help from the farm experts was a bit of a challenge since students had to do a lot of convincing as to why they will want to grow their own food instead of outsourcing which is easier.

How long did it take to implement your solution?

MORE THAN 30 DAYS

Which global goals does your story align with?

Responsible consumption and production

Please explain briefly why do you think so?

This project aligns with goal number 12 because we are to control whatever we produce and consume as a school community making sure it’s wholesome for everyone.

Step 4 SHARE

How did you share your project with your school and community? Who did you share your project with? What was their response?
