A CLEANING DAY

On Tuesday 27th of February the Santiago Atitlán’s Town Council organized a town wide cleaning day with the local schools. Early in the morning the streets were full of older children picking up trash, and then the garbage was gathered inside “costales” and brought to the town dump with pick up trucks.

Even though there is still much more to be done in the sense of garbage consciousness… It was the first community effort to give Santiago Atitlán a clean face!
