The Sunrise Centre is a centre for education and social service based in Cospicua, Malta. It hosts a variety of projects and activities aimed at the all-round development of children, youth and women from the Cottonera area. The programmes offered aim to provide opportunities for learning and personal growth so that people are encouraged and empowered to develop themselves and improve their socio-economic situation.
At Centru Tbexbix the volunteers are responsible for the gardening. They take care of the plants there. To improve the environment, to create a better energy and vibration we try to change the yard. Recentely we got soil and we put in the yard next to the pomegranate tree, we´ll plant some flowers to make it more colorfull and we´ll make a compost. We´re trying to make plant beds to plant lettuce, bell peppers, tomatoes and aromatic herbs, so we can cook our food with organic and fresh vegetables from our organic garden on the roof. It has been little bit complicated because we need the best soil and to build an organic garden on the roof and all about design. Even we want to have a space on the roof specially for the volunteers, so they can have their own space there. And again, its all about design. We need to observe and then put in practise...
So above, there are some photos of our best plants we have at Centru Tbexbix.
On 6th May 2012, Sunday, we´ll have a festival in Bormla, where the Centru Tbexbix is situated and we´ll sell some of our plants (around 60 plants!).
To demonstrate our creativity, we´ll ask the cooperation of the children to decorate the pots of the plants to sell. In this way we also can let the children know they are useful and they can make beautiful things according with their own skills and creativity...
