North South Exchange - Welcome!
Aid to scouts
In 2010 and 2011, a partnership of the association with the scouts of the Kolda region had enabled the organization of two mixed camps for adolescents during which they were able to benefit from training organized by ENS: making jams and using stoves economic and solar ovens that they continue to popularize among the village populations they visit.
They have currently taken up the torch of the distribution of economic stoves and solar ovens. They are also heavily involved in the reforestation of the region.
The open-air film festival (scheduled for end of the year 2013) will benefit also their contribution.
In addition to the activities planned in their action plan, these scouts, in collaboration with groups of scouts from other regions, have taken new initiatives on their own in order to:
to organize the collection of urban waste (on circuits covered by carts pulled by donkeys)
to familiarize the population with sorting and composting techniques
to make small pillows using recycled plastic bags
to actively participate in the replanting of the Zighinchor mangrove
Some of their facilitators have benefited from organic farming training in order to pass on the new techniques acquired in the context of school gardens and advocacy in the villages.
Thus, in 2013, Echange Nord Sud continued its partnership, with financial assistance to the Eclaireurs de Kolda around the collection and recovery of waste as well as the creation of market gardens in bush schools to provide lunch for schoolchildren. . A grant of €200 was granted in 2012 to for the organization, in Dakar, 75th anniversary scouts.
