CIRUM organized an one-day field study for a group of students from Hanoi Lomonoxop Secondary School to visit FFS Simacai.

Early morning on December 24th, the students, their parents and teachers arrived at FFS Simacai. They were welcomed by CIRUM staff. Mr Bui Tien Dung, CIRUM senior staff guided the students touring around the school. He introduced the school background and organic farming activities. The visitors were amazed of various eco-farming practices conducted in this school, for example the banana circle for organic waste management. Mr Vang A Sanh, a H’Mong staff at FFS, used different plants to visualize root types and buds. Students were excited with what they learnt. At last, the visitors enjoyed a homemade organic lunch prepared by FFS staff.

Ms Dang Thi Thanh Nhan, the Vice Chairwoman of Hanoi Lomonoxop secondary school said “I am very pleased of this field study. We all learnt a lot from FFS Simacai.
