| Triangle Y-Camp | |
| Description: | Rotary eClub One’s "Triangle Y-Camp” 1. Phumvudza Gardens -conservation, small landholder farm training from Foundations for Farming or FfF. 2. Moringa trees. 3. Rabbit husbandry. |
| History of Involvement: | The beneficiares of this project are the community of Boquete, members from across the indigenous nations as well as expats. The projects aims to create traners and the trainees will be supported with mobile teams nationally and internationally. The primary goal is 'food security' for mothers and children. Panama has plenty of people suffering malnutrition and food insecurity. The first phase of the project is FfF three-day long certified courses so individuals can become instructors, planned for the dry season, in February and March. Three such training programmes are planned. The first is the national and international demonstration project and training center at Rodrigo Vergara nursery in Boquete, Panama. Then the second at a graduated/certified trained student's small land holdings locally in Boquete. The third one is now planned for in the Ngöbe-Bugle Comarca, (the largest Panamanian tribes autonomous area).This is only step one – we call it, “Phumvudza.” Through this initiative the conflict between the Ngöbe tribe and the government of Panama is also being addressed. This project will help foster friendships with the tribes as partners (who will be trained to be instructors) and to be included in the first training. |
