The ReCrearte program, in coordination with the Fundación Un Toque de Luz (Touch of Light Foundation), held an interesting workshop at the El Túnel School, in the Capotillo Sector, one the the most vulnerable areas in the country.
A diverse group of pre-teens and teenagers, 11 through 15, greeted ReCrearte’s program manager, Lucia Marte, who talked to them about the causes and consequences of water pollution, which was especially relevant because the school is located on the banks of the Isabela River. She also taught the children how to make fish figures by reusing the milk and juice cartons from their school breakfast.
Two of their teachers and a representative from the Un Toque de Luz Foundation were also at the activity. Professor Jacinta Castillo noted that the workshop was extremely valuable and appropriate for the reality in which the students live. The activity was held on Wednesday, January 24, 2018 from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m.
About ReCrearte:
ReCrearte works with the most disadvantaged communities who receive training in the art of recycling and creating objects with waste while, at the same time, learning skills they can use to ultimately create an alternative source of income for themselves and their families. The program raises awareness of the golden rule of the 3Rs of solid waste management: reduce, reuse, recycle. The workshops also emphasize and demonstrate how recycling waste into art can strengthen and empower individuals and communities alike.
