While searching for sustainable school models, our journey has linked us to game changing projects in other countries, and we support and promote the innovative Paraguayan San Francisco Agri-School founded by Fundación Paraguaya. This leading Agricultural School model is also almost fully sustainable, educating their students through live on-site businesses, providing them with a full understanding of all aspects of entrepreneurship.
Another wonderful school that we have supported is the holistically run school Agroecological School of Pirque based in Pirqué near Santiago in Chile, and TSF is delighted to have gained from the lessons learned at the school, which is founded and managed by Fundación Origen, a non-profit institution whose mission is to improve the quality of education, provide technical training, and to promote sustainable and community oriented development from a holistic perspective. Spirituality, autonomy and responsibility make up the basis of its teaching, and are some of the core reasons for its success. Our involvement with the school has seen the funding of a project which will enable the valuable lessons learnt to be shared with other similar entities worldwide.
