GFDD’s ReCrearte program continues it full schedule of lectures and workshops in and around Santo Domingo. Recently they paid a visit to a group of women and girls in Los Frailes 2 where participants had a blast learning about recycling and reusing instead of tossing their trash.
The group, comprised of 13 people, began their workshop with an interesting lecture on the importance of taking care of Mother Earth and the resources she provides us.
Lucia Marte, ReCrearte program coordinator, initially focused on offering important information on how to avoid the accumulation of trash in the communities (by reducing). In the second part of the activity, participants learned how to make bags and purses out of fabric that would otherwise have been discarded. This activity enables women to create innovative and unique designs out of blouses, pants and fabric they no longer use, rather than discarding it.
One participant, Lidia Vitorino, was pleased with the activity as a highlight of the overall program, especially reusing fabric from used clothing they would have otherwise thrown out.
The gathering was held in coordination with the Club de Madres y Junta de Vecinos (Mothers Club and Neighborhood Committee) on January 25, 2018 from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

The first activity of the week took place on Monday, October 2nd, when program coordinator Lucía Marte hosted a creative recycling workshop at the Escuela Unidas 27 de Febrero, where children and adults alike participated in discussions on the importance of recycling, followed by creative recycling workshops. The event inspired at least one participant – Rafael Vladimir Pérez, who expressed his desire to continue working with recycled materials to help his community.
On Wednesday, October 4th, ReCrearte’s second workshop of the week took place in the Escuela República de Perú. There, the discussion focused on the accumulation of plastic in the world’s oceans and the impact that it has on marine life. Though new technologies are being proposed to combat this, the best solution is to be conscious about what you use, to reuse what you can, and to assure proper management of solid waste. After the discussion, attending schoolchildren created arts and crafts out of recycled materials.
During Wednesday’s workshop, Noelia Cuevas Contreras stated: “United, we can save Planet Earth.” ReCrearte couldn’t agree more.
