About DRH Lindersvold Denmark

DRH Lindersvold is a non-profit organization whose mission is to inspire and empower ordinary people to take action against worldwide poverty and climate change. We address the issues of our time by providing unique teaching and learning environments that cultivate social change and support our global vision of a sustainable future. Improving the Physical Environment at the School: It is a very important skill for Development Instructors (volunteers) to be able to see what needs to be done to create a good, physical environment around them. Apart from cooking, cleaning and weekly actions to maintain the school, building weekends are held 4 times per year to upgrade and renovate both indoor and out. Garden Farming & Why We Do It: Threats from pollution, lack of water, global warming and climate change, pesticides, food poisoning, rising food prices, and hunger catastrophes have become reasons for questioning the way in which we ordinary people get our food. Along with the reality that the communities where we send volunteers to fight a daily fight to gain food security, we have some valid and essential reasons to grow our own food and intend to find ways to increase this production in the coming years. Integration: We have built close cooperation with the students from the day school and the young adults from the care home with whom we share our life, buildings, and facilities. The life together includes cultural and evening programs, sport, cooking, are and nature trips to mention a few. Through such activities, the students from the day school and care home get to be included in the life around them and most importantly gain the possibility to contribute to life at the school.
