Great news from SPACES!

[points at peach tree]

Oogway: Look at this tree, Shifu: I cannot make it blossom when it suits me nor make it bear fruit before its time.
Shifu: But there are things we *can* control: I can control when the fruit will fall, I can control where to plant the seed: that is no illusion, Master!
Oogway: Ah, yes. But no matter what you do, that seed will grow to be a peach tree. You may wish for an apple or an orange, but you will get a peach.
Shifu: But a peach cannot defeat Tai Lung!
Oogway: Maybe it can, if you are willing to guide, to nurture it, to believe in it.
Shifu: But how? How? I need your help, master.
Oogway: No, you just need to believe. Promise me, Shifu, promise me you will believe.

Mind blowing stuff! Wouldn’t you agree? 🙂

Well, We have some pretty awesome news that we are eager to share.

SPACES has been for a long time pondering and contemplating over a project with corporation schools. Our idea was to create an herb/medicinal garden, and then help the children learn to tend to it on their own. We wanted to help bring the classroom outside the closed confined spaces and bring it to life.We want pages out of the text books to transform into real live examples.And our ulterior motive being here, of course, that the kids will come to love their garden! 🙂

This project was having a bit of a hiccup when we were not getting enough funding from expected quarters. We visited a lot of officials but to no avail.

Finally, Rotaract club has agreed to help us out through this venture. So as of now, Project Corporation School – Herb Garden has gotten a green light! 🙂 If this one works out, odds are more schools will be willing to follow. So we are very excited and cant wait to get started.

Be tuned in for more updates!
