In celebration of World Environment Day, we wanted to share about environmental stewardship through composting at Louverture Cleary School.
Every day, students and staff place compostable food waste like egg shells and fruit and vegetable peelings in designated containers to be taken to a large compost pile on campus. During netwayaj (clean-up), the containers are emptied at the campus’s environmental center — an area divided for composting, recycling, metal, and materials to be burned.
Five days a week, LCS students and staff turn the compost — flipping it from one side of a cinder block divider to another — taking note of sections that may be ready for removal.
Watch the video above to hear Philo (13th grade) students Lorvencia D. and Jean Emmanuel C. talk about the school's composting process, which will eventually make rich soil that will be put to good use nourishing the school’s gardens of trees, flowers, and various fruits and vegetables.
“Keep In Touch” to receive periodic updates on our students, activities at Louverture Cleary School, and progress on the LCS Network. Together, we can build a bright and enduring future for Haiti.
