Community Project

Escuela de plantas medicinales – San Isidro Llano Grande
Adrien Missika’s project consisted of creating an emerging school for healing medicinal plants in some communities. Knowledge about medicinal plants are of great importance in communities, where people have very little access to hospitals and few resources to obtain modern chemical treatments.
The objective of the project was to create a situation that allows the exchange of knowledge within a community for people who may require part of this knowledge and take it forward to new generations.
