Adolescentes beneficiados
Of me part and on behalf of my
partners I thank that they have
benefitted to the community the
Anonal, since we live adolescents
and young that want to overcome
us or to learn an occupation.
“It is important to learn on
hidroponic orchards, since we
learn how to sow, and the families
of the communities obtain fresh
and nutritious vegetables”

• So that the initiatives like this are viable and of permanency
in the long term should be looked for the Inclusion and
commitment of the local Government and of the Government's
institutions
• The feasibility of sharing funds among the participant
agencies for the development of activities of promotion of the
health
•The interagency effort is a complex exercise, however it has
been a means to optimize the resources and to integrate the
interventions and the impact.
