Mpho’s story (+Welsh)
Mpho is a four year old boy from Lesotho
Mpho lives with his mum and grandma, Mametseliso. Their story shows how Send a Cow training in natural farming methods can supply whole communities with the means to grow healthy food. A great case study if you are looking at the importance of healthy eating and/or growing plants and vegetables. The .kmz file is a short Google Earth Tour showing where Mpho lives (click on it if you have Google Earth, then click on the sub-folder and play.) There are various resources linked to this story mainly around using his keyhole garden and what he eats in, Mpho’s food miles and 5 a day with Mpho. For more information for Welsh schools wanting to partner with a Lesothan school, visit the Dolen Cymru website.
