Recycling at Escuela Federico A. Velasquez

July 17, 2018

We will do several activities at the Primary School Federico Velasquez. The school has a total of 180 students from Kindergarden to 6th grade. The activities include:
1. Implementing a recycling station (3 different types of waste: Tetrapak, paper and plastic)

2. Speeches to all the students, divided in groups according to the grade. Topics: environment, recycling, strategies to save water and light.

3. Painting a the front mural of the school with ecologic paint. The students will paint the wall to create the chool identity. Topic: Alternative energies, specifically wind power (mill in the Panama Bay)

Our main sponsor for this activity is Grupo Silaba which is the main distributor of Mazda, Kia and Chevrolet. We also have the support of Tetrapak who is collaborating with giving us equipment and supplies to explain the students how the separation of materials of the tetrapak works.
