位于马来西亚槟城的大叻国际学校小学花园俱乐部将向缅甸Rohyngya难民伸出援助之手。俱乐部每周聚会一次，学习有益的园艺技术及水栽培原理。学生们耕种一小块室外水栽培田地，种植两种菠菜：本地和巴西菠菜。两种菠菜长势都很好。
通过他们的导师Lisa Munson，学生们向槟城的一所难民学校提供支持，与其分享水栽培工具包，以此作为帮助那里学生的一种途径。学生们还分享他们从实践探索中学到的有关可持续园艺的知识。
难民学校的大部分植物长势良好，学生们被分配照料植物的任务，这对他们是一个积极的机会。然而，由于围绕难民处境的问题，所有植物都必须在上锁的门后生长；如果植物种在外面，就有可能被盗。室内条件已经导致一些植物死亡，但是辣木、罗勒和菠菜依旧长势不错。
