Messzelátó Egyesület

The 15th of October was the day of the Compost building for Messzelátó Egyesület!

We went to an eco-school in Békásmegyer with Ági and the other volunteers of Messzelátó Egyesület (Marlene and Benjamin from France, Helle from Estonia and David from Portugal) to build three compost bins: one in a wooden frame and the two others in grid frames. We built the compost bins with the help of the 17-year-old children of the school. They were learning French, so they could improve a bit this language during this building session.

It took about 2 hours to build everything; the French teacher and the Biology teacher were glad about the result! Everybody helped with something: sawing the wooden planks, nailing the planks together, tightening the wire in a round circle while someone trying to set the compost bin on the ground, ... It was a collective and friendly work!

At the end we put all the compost bins where they planned to; and I asked them some questions about the compost degradation and what was important to know about it.

Now, they can use the compost bins and show to the other students of that school their work.
