Dear donor,
During our past activities we've realized that including kids into cleaning their areas makes them much more perceptive on the negative ipact they might cause with their neglect. Using this openness we've educated them so they can understand better the causes of their actions and how to avoid causing more damage.
Altough it is more difficult to reach out to disregarded groups during summer time (lack of the school system), we could make it possible to come together and facilitate upcycling, recycling and rubbish picking activities with our focus groups where we could include activities that unfolds environmental issues.
Among our groups of kids it is often normal to just dispose waste in meadows or into river valleys. We wanted to make sure they understood the impact of excess rubbish in their area (e. g.: health issues caused by viruses and bacteries, environmental damage, unappealing appearance, injuries caused by sharp objects, etc.)
Now that school is about to start we can focus our energies much more efficiently to our aims and we'll also test the kids, how much they remember of what they've learned and we'll evaluate whether their surroundings became cleaner since the vacation.
We'll get back to you with news, new activities and impacts in our next report and again we are very grateful for your support, it always means a lot!
