Our first cleanup and family food project in barrio El Manantial was a big success-
Two full truck-loads of basura (100+ large bags) were collected by the neighborhood families in exchange for buckets of food (rice, beans, sardines, etc.... value 800 pesos).
Children were also paid in pesos for collecting recyclable glass and plastic bottles.
The families were so grateful for the food and the kids are still collecting bottles!
Thanks to everyone on DR1 who supported me and my idea-
We are holding the second event on Feb 29 and the interim Mayor wants to replicate in other barrios-
