The Castilleja School gardening club students explored global issues of food sustainability through One Hen's Good Garden program. The
Good Garden based on a story of a young girl in Honduras. The Good
Garden program empowers children to be social entrepreneurs who combat
global hunger through agricultural enterprise. Students participate by
reading the book, exploring the website, and playing the newly released
Chutes and Ladders®: The Good Garden Edition board game. Students
translated the lesson taught in Good Garden to real life community
service action to help fight hunger in their communities. "A school community garden is a perfect way for students to learn about environmental and social sustainability. The Good Garden program empowers students to see how they can engage creatively using microfinance and an entrepreneurial approach to solve local and global social problems such as hunger."
