Um redemoinho de energia e ideias, Stephen Ritz é professor no complicado Sul do Bronx de Nova Iorque, onde juntamente com os seus alunos cultiva exuberantes jardins para alimentação, verdura — e emprego. Tentem só acompanhar este tesouro nova-iorquino à medida que ele gira à volta das muitas e muitas maneiras que há de cultivar esperança num bairro que muitos desprezaram, ou mesmo no vosso.

Um professor a tornar-se verde no Sul do Bronx

Transforming the South Bronx, a community often called a desert, starts with putting seeds and hope into classrooms. Students once labeled as learning disabled now build edible walls, grow thousands of pounds of food, and earn living wages. Green projects turn abandoned lots into vibrant gardens and teach practical skills. Kids who struggled in school now feed their neighbors, graduate, and reimagine what their neighborhoods can become.
