The Salesian Co-operators of the Borivali unit agreed to collaborate with Bosco Boys Home to handle this unique project. On the 12th of July 2013 eleven Co-operators under the leadership of Claudina Pinto underwent extensive training on how to segregate garbage and how to convert organic waste into organic manure. The training program involved "hands on experience" on how to use the OWC machine, production, quality, cost and maintenance. All the participants though retired and senior citizens showed keen interest and enthusiasm in this projects. The next phase will involve packaging and distribution.
