Overview of Plan of Action: To Construct a Green House
The Greenhouse Project is an initiative designed to create a sustainable and educational environment where students can engage in hands-on learning about plant growth, environmental stewardship, and sustainability. The project involves setting up a greenhouse on the school grounds where students will have the opportunity to plant, nurture, and harvest various types of plants, such as vegetables, herbs, and flowers. The greenhouse will be used as a tool for teaching lessons in science, biology, and ecology, while also fostering teamwork, responsibility, and a deeper connection to nature. Additionally, the project will promote awareness of eco-friendly practices, such as water conservation, recycling, and the importance of locally grown food. The Greenhouse Project will not only enhance students' knowledge of agriculture but also contribute to a greener, more sustainable school community.

Statia Doet Project: Construction of the Green House Base
The greenhouse base will be constructed using durable concrete, providing a solid and stable foundation for the structure. The base will measure 10 feet in width and 20 feet in length, offering ample space for a variety of plant cultivation. The concrete slab will be designed to ensure proper drainage, preventing water accumulation that could damage plants and the foundation itself.
The surface will be smooth, but with a slight slope to direct water toward designated drainage areas. Reinforced with steel bars for strength, the concrete slab will also have expansion joints to prevent cracking over time due to temperature changes.
The edges of the concrete base will be neatly finished, providing a clear boundary for the greenhouse structure. The solid foundation will support the framework of the greenhouse, ensuring it remains secure during varying weather conditions. Additionally, the concrete floor will provide easy maintenance and cleaning, helping to prevent weed growth and ensure a clean environment for plant growth.
Volunteers Needed for: 12 people
What the volunteers will be doing:
1. Site Preparation Crew
o Clear the area of debris and vegetation.
o Level the ground and compact the soil.
o Assist in setting up forms and reinforcement.
2. Formwork and Reinforcement Team
o Assemble and secure the wooden forms.
o Install wire mesh for added strength.
3. Mixing and Pouring Crew
o Mix concrete
o Spread the concrete evenly.
4. Finishing Team
o Screed the surface to level the concrete.
5. Cleanup Crew
o Remove and clean tools.
o Dismantle forms after the concrete sets.
