Green Gecko - Day 5

We spent the day at Green Gecko building a mushroom house for the children at Green Gecko to eat  and sell for a profit! To start the day of we had a guided tour around the facility by some children from Green Gecko, Kim and Nikki they were great to listen to!

Once we had our tour we got in the back of the Ute and headed to their farm, Footprints. We got seperated into groups with the Gecko Chuldren and began work, One group cleared Palm tree leaves, another moved mulch from one place to another, some cut up mushrooms from the pre-exisiting mushroom house and the rest began work on the new mushroom house. Once all the other jobs had been done we all helped with the building of the Mushroom house!

The children then had to go and get ready for school so we stopped and enjoyed lunch with them. Once we finished lunch and the children headed of to school we returned back the farm to finish the mushroom house, it was a very humid day and everyone was exhausted at the end of the day. The sweat however was worth it beapcaus we left Green Gecko knowing that they were able to have a sustainable method to get food and also help generate a income for them.
