The adventure for Zebras for a Silent La Paz gets more and more exciting, as there have been many changes in our project. We have a new Team Leader, Euge;
a new challenge is
that of working with extra volunteers this cohort - four
great people, Naza, Claire, Ellie
and Guy - that are
binding to the magic of being Zebras
and who continue working for a La Paz without noise;
and on the other hand, this is the last stage for Mino and me, since in this
cohort we will say goodbye to our beautiful work of being
Zebras. We are starting with a brainstorm of ideas that will enrich the project, as we
want to engage with more of the work that the Zebras are involved in and propose more activities.
We
had our
first workshop to meet our great
group of Cebritas , which was as always a pleasure for us because our volunteers shared a little about the places they came
from, and we talked about our
expectations for the work that we will do in this period. The boys are as full of
energy and enthusiasm as we are, which is
a good sign for making all the things we want to do really happen, such as creating
an educational module for teens about noise pollution which aims to raise
awareness and prompt action
amongst young people.
We
will continue developing our workshops with the Cebritas to further strengthen their training and to have the opportunity to
share knowledge around everything
that the work of this period will involve. We plan to
reactivate the acoustically insulated room
(The Box), to invite many more citizens to undergo the experience of feeling a La Paz without Noise. Also, we plan to paint a mural to share
a message about noise pollution; and our
adventure involves even a survey, in preparation for running
modules around noise pollution with drivers of public transport in the city of La Paz.
To
start with
new challenges is always a form
of change, and all change is good , so here we are almost halfway through this
grand, fun and enriching cohort,
to experience one more adventure
in this magical experience that enwraps each of us and
everyone that has been, is or
will be a Zebra.
