UISG - Primary School Third Edition | Page 33

Huiling farm is located in the Baiyun District, approximately one-hour’s drive from Utahloy. The farm is run as a non-profit entity by the charitable organization which also runs the Guangzhou Huiling Special Needs Primary School within which our UFO AOC undertakes volunteer work.

In addition to offering work experience for adults with special needs, Huiling Farm is committed to utilizing organic farming techniques, thereby reducing the negative consequences of commercial land use.

Huiling Farm

What's next?

These student representatives will make an interactive presentation to both their classmates and the UPTA to share their experience and knowledge as well to generate new participation and support of the club. Additionally, having established a connection with Huiling Farm, we will be working with the Canteen to bring more of the organic-eco-food mindfulness to the school; and we hope that other sections of the school will explore it as a community-based learning environment.
