Tierra y Valle de los Niños (Earth and Valley of the Kids) is an NGO organization, founded in 2011 with the aim of promoting values and practice of social and environmental responsability from childhood on.
We start and realize initiatives and projects which contribute to the development of the children's and improve their environment in the areas of:
Ambiental and cultural education, qualifications, excursions and educational workshops for the development of Sustainment with the emphasis on the environment where the children actually live.
Nature contains life, feelings, wisdom and sensitivity. We build an education for the children wich provides them with knowledge, abilities and values for their lives and the celebration of truth and love.
We believe that if there exists more biodiversity and habitats is in the environment, the possibilities of interaction and learning of the kids will also grow.
Tierra y Valle uses a method called "Tierra de Niños", approved by the UNESCO, like a tool for the ambiental education. Until today more than 300 children of the community of Paihuano participated in this program. They are planting more than 450 native trees with the help of the municipaliy, helping and protecting their environment by attending permanent workshops.
