Imagine Haitian

In the spring of 2009, ImagineHaitian.org worked with the leaders of Eben-Ezer Mission, a local agronomist, and a local youth group to offer an environmental education course.

The course topics included:

• the history and consequences of Haitian deforestation
• the cycling of essential plant nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, etc.)
• the hydrologic cycle
• sustainable food production
• causes of and solutions to water pollution
• causes of and solutions to air pollution
• local and global climate change

In addition to theoretical studies in the classroom, the course included practical work in the field, such as tending the mission’s tree nursery and learning how to use water purifiers and biodiesel stoves.
