DSCF0094Sunseed just recently welcomed Southampton University´s Environmental Science Student Society for a full week of activities, workshops and learning at Sunseed. The society contacted us last year to inquire about a week of putting their environmental science studies and ideas into practice, as well wanting a sociable week away together. We are pleased to say that the week was a great success for both us and all the gang from Southampton.

A full week was had. There were seminars for example on tea composting, cromotography of soil, the concept of appropriate technology and how to make clay masks. The students also got involved in the gardens, collecting cana, helping with the compost toilet renovation and the cleaning of our irrigation line.

On 28-29 September was performed the course about Biomass gasification cookstoves. The four participants built their own gasifier with a perfect result. During the course, was shot a video tutorial to make it easy for other people do at home the same. Do you dare? Lucia, a Sunseed volunteer, she dared.
