After a fieldtrip

The one-day fieldtrip at Hoa An center was not long but what I received from it is remarkable. In fact, traveling broadens one’s horizons. The fieldtrip has well done its objectives.

Firstly, I learnt to keep discipline. The fieldtrip regulations were not too strict; we have grown closer and been more sticked together. I was also assumed at discovering my friends and instructors in their different interesting appearances out of class. However, it did not mean that we could ignore the discipline. Obeying laws, following the schedule, and being self-responsible, something like that, are required for a fieldtrip.

Besides, I was told many attractive stories about the nature. Over half of 5-kilometer tour around the center was with interminable forests of cajuput, bamboo, eucalyptus… That sounds like an adventure, but over all was the feeling in company and mix with the nature. Until then I did not know that fearful subjects as leeches, terrestrial leeches, snakes… are signs of pure nature that is no chemical, insecticide; and water hyacinth is sign of non-alum water. There are many kinds of cajuput, and the eucalyptus has another nice name “khuynh diep”, more and more I cannot list all. However, I could do ensure that, the air I breathed was perfectly “pure”.

I also learnt the lesson of environment and saving. Muck, water hyacinth can be the important materials for Biogas system, so that necessary fuel is produced for sorts of other activities. The farming system VACBRRR is another great surprise. There are things seem useless can be salvaged effectively. That helps limit harmful consequences to the environment. In other words, according to the instructors that is “stable development”.

The center also creates employment for farmers around, trains them for seed rice, pure vegetables. Finally but not least, I gained the lesson about hearts of people there. Their hearts beat for the nature, for the alum agriculture, and for other people. That really makes sense.
