Reaching out and Helping the Community
During my last semester at VIU I was Fortunate enough to partake in a Earth Charter community action project. My group was comprised of student teachers who were doing their last practicum outside of school district 68 (Nanaimo-Ladysmith). One our group members had heard about a women fighting for a natural playground at a school in Port Alberni. She ended up winning the fight. Our project was to compile a bunch of resources because their has been a lot of interest in other communities to build a natural playground for their students as well. We created a website to help communities bring natural playgrounds to their schools.
