Fondacio in Chile: COH Centro ocupacional hortiterapeutico has continued to work remotely since the beginning of the quarantine, offering its workshops to groups of people with disabilities or at social risk.
To reinforce this work, at the beginning of August he physically sent to two of his working groups the material necessary for the COH activities programme for the second semester.
Each participant received at home, by mail, a medicinal plant transformation kit which will allow them to learn and practice the multiplication, harvesting, defoliation, drying, packaging and finally the labeling of these plants.
The work will not only help to develop the autonomy of participants in the production of medicinal plants for their personal consumption, but also to give them away or sell them.
With the help of the necessary knowledge provided by Monica Espinoza, program manager and workshop leader, these families will have the opportunity to start a new business and better face this crisis.
These COH workshops are also a space for listening and support, where community is generated by the love of nature.
Supporting isolated people is always a priority for Fondacio's mission, especially in these times of crisis, when they need it most.
