Description
For example, in the village of Colonia Carlos Pelegrini (north of Argentina, in the Ibera natural reserve), the children have only 4h of school per day. The Ecoposada del Estero launched the initiatives of the eco-workshops : 3h of activities after the shool during which the children learn on a entertaining way about the nature that surrounds them, and all this in English. The parents got together in a commission and share the teacher salary. They give also scholarships, in collaboration with the municipality and the sponsorship of tourists, to the children of the most modest families in order to make the eco-workshops accessible to all.
