Eko Works shop

The world have so much environmental problems and trash is one of those problems,  we want to help the world, we think that we need to do big action or the government and companies, but normally we don’t know how to do and with simple action we can have big impact for example the Eko workshop for the nursery school that had been present to about 450 children in Trencin. The best age to learn something is when we are children and it is really good, they know how care about the environmental now and when they are children. The Eko workshop the children learn about how separated the trash and what is the right container that they need to put away the trash and they learn this with game and music. The first step Marta plays with them, the game with four buckets with the same color those containers on street for collect the residential trash, green (glass), blue (paper), yellow (plastic) and black (others) and some trashes those the children need to put in respective buckets related with the containers, after they corrects the mistakes and learn what is right way to put way trash from home. In the second step, they use the can, rice, cardboard from toilet paper, pieces of old clothes and tape, most of those entire things were trash, but now they make a shaker with those trashes, after they have second game that they receive a picture and black and write with four containers and trashes  (organic, glass, newspaper and others) where they need to paint containers of respective colors and make the line to the trash to container that trash belongs and this way remember what they learned on first step. The Last step they dance cabeça, ombro, joelho….(hlava, kolena, palce …..in Portuguese) and make easy rhythm. I hope that most of them it will use this knowledge at home.

First month.

I've been almost a month in kca and I am very happy with my place here. So far I have not found reasons to feel bad or things that I dislike. In contrast to how things were managed in Zilina in my last organization, I have a thread here I see where I'm dropping down (this gives stability to life). Well on the one hand I am developing conversational Spanish workshops so far some 6 in this group have come interesting discussions and the idea is to change the dynamics of the workshops, do the same thing, so that people feel encouraged to go. On the other hand started with a workshop in Spanish for beginners, which has not been very successful because only two people are coming, and it works in the organization. I hope that in the course of the day more people join the proposal. Although it is good to know maybe you will not be extended classes for long, because I return to Uruguay in September, but are good to kick and plunge into Spanish.On the other hand I am happy with my work in the creative workshops with children, especially children with disabilities.As a final reflection I'd like to say that beyond that one is voluntary and has no major responsibilities is always good to be busy and feel useful on something, feel that what you are doing has some fruit and result, you do some things order and some sense.
