During the month of June, more than 100 students from various educational institutions in Pacasmayo took part in educational workshops on the dry forest, designed to awaken their love and respect for the environment around them.
Through games, interactive activities, and practical examples, the children not only learned but also understood the importance of the algarrobo tree and local biodiversity, both essential to the health of their communities and the balance of the ecosystem. Recognizing the value of what grows close to home is also recognizing their identity and their role as caretakers of the land.
The most inspiring part was seeing their ideas bloom: many presented creative proposals to protect the dry forest, showing not only understanding, but deep commitment. With each workshop, the desire to keep sowing hope grows stronger. Because when education connects with the land, it also takes root in the heart.
