The children and staff of sunshine house had an initial visit to the UTA Ecofarm on the 14th March. In this occasion the children visited the different activities and had the chance to think and imagine the ECOFARM at sunshine house. On 19th, 20th and 21st taking advantage of the children Khmer new year holidays, 12 of the oldest children went to UTA-Ecofarm for a more detailed training. They "learned by doing" and enjoyed their stay at UTA and now have a better understanding of the on going project "Ecofarm at Sunshine House".
