It is impossible to teach everything in the classroom alone... so as an institution we believe our campus must become a place that inspires students and helps them to see things in a different light!
One thing that visitors usually notice in Uganda is the trash! It's everywhere... reeking havoc on the environment and distracting our eyes from the beauty of Uganda!
Just as Adam was placed in the Garden of Eden to steward God's creation we are still called to be good stewards of creation today! In order to help our students "see" this idea we have started an on campus recycling program to benefit our farm... all water bottles are taken to the garden to be used as seed beds, all food scraps are cleared from plates after meals and taken to our compost pit and soon we are hoping to recycle our paper by using it as mulch in the garden...
Even in our seed beds you can see that we collected the broken bricks around the campus to separate out the different types of seeds we are planting... whatever God provides we are going to use!
Genesis 1:29 tells us that God gave us every seed-bearing plant for food. It is our prayer that our students will learn from the practices on our campus and apply them in their churches and communities which are filled with people longing for physical and spiritual nourishment!
