WHAT SCHOOL WILL BE THE FIRST IN ZIMBABWE TO UNDERSTAND THE FOUR STEPS OF HOTEP?
Healthy Economics is defined as the day a community once termed low-income and under-served becomes self sufficient and independent.
The Four Steps of Hotep, is written by me, David Roach.
In the four steps of Hotep, I share with you some of my personal experience of starting The Mo’ Better Food farmers market at McClymond’s high school in West Oakland. Our Business students administered the farmers market as part of their hands on business training. It was the first farmers market at a school site in Oakland. Most of our produce was grown and sold at a farmers market by the African American Farmers of California.
Why write the Four Steps of Hoteps one might ask?
Because, in addition to having a farmers market, every school should have a garden and a grocery store too.
The Four Steps of Hotep is a guide that I propose that gives each school the autonomy and governance necessary to directly improve its food system through the participation of the schools “extended family.”
“The extended family” is the inter-generational strategy of administering the development of Healthy Economics in any community. These organizations make up the typical extended family: The student government association, Parent Teacher Association and Alumni Association.
The Inter-generational Enterprise (another one of the Four Steps of Hotep) is the extended family going into business together in administrating their schools farmers market, school garden and grocery store.
The Friends of School program ( one of the four steps of Hotep) is to promote/ assist schools with having the extended family functioning on campus to migrate the body to starting the Intergenerational Enterprise (one of the four steps of Hotep).
The Friends of school program utilizes the 1st Saturdays program to promote representatives from the Student Government, PTA, Alumni to share updates, volunteer at the school garden, plan the farmers market/ grocery store, once a month, the 1st Saturdays of every month.
1st Saturdays ( one of the four steps of Hotep) is the official monthly volunteer day of building healthy economics!
Hotep says, “once we have student representatives meeting with Parents and Teachers at the garden once a month, we will have the inter-generational foundation of administrating Healthy Economics from within the community.”
I wrote the four steps of Hotep to promote other communities to consider establishing farmers market, school gardens and grocery store at a school sites in their community as a systematic approach of improving the food system within their community.
