The Learning Farm, in effect, encourages them to plant seeds of change.
Up by 5am and at hard at work in the fields by 7am, some hands that once held guns now hold gardening tools, with a focus on caring for some of nature's more fragile members.
After lunch and some rest, they study English and get lessons on organic farming.
And after dinner, the youths spend time with mentors or work on creative handicrafts before turning in. Volunteers also visit to share with them everything from first aid to hip hop moves. ( 4 minute video )
