15-26 Sound Clip Category Winner: Rover Scouts in Mexico
Rover Scouts in Mexico are working to develop their community and promote cooperation with others to create a better world.
These Rovers belong to the ‘Red Ambiental Nayarit’ (Nayarit Environmental Network), a group of volunteers who work to support social development, protection of the environment and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
In March 2005, six Rover Scouts, aged fifteen to twenty-two, developed a programme called “Conscious Society, Healthy Environment”, which involves them going into schools in their town to deliver training workshops on the environment. The Scouts also work with local organisations to develop environmental projects.
They have set up a programme to separate waste and resell it, therefore promoting recycling and ensuring that the project becomes auto-financing. This particular project has now been taken up in other areas of the town.
Congratulations to the Rovers for their great project, which together with a one minute sound clip wins the 15-26 age category in the Gifts for Peace competition.
It’s hard to convey two years work in a one minute sound clip, but they did a good job! You can listen to their clip (in Spanish) here.
