The Awareness Of Environment At Rivera Cuale Puerto Vallarta
On the 27th of June, Saturday, a great day was celebrated at the Rivera Cuale, which is an amazing condominium that is built on the beautiful banks of River Cuale at El Caloso. The children from the community participated in order to attain and be a prominent part of the activities and education pertaining to the environment.
The children with their mothers started arriving by 10 a.m. who were then greeted by the team of Rivera Cuale. They were also given T-shirts which had been specifically designed for this purpose. These shirts were in three different colors and had “Chicos Rescatitas†written on them along with trees which clearly defined the importance of the environment to these children. These colors which were chosen for the t-shirts were a symbol of Puerto Vallarta. The green colored shirts depicted Organic, the blue depicted Inorganic and the Orange depicted Sanitary.
Even the Manager of the “Participación Ciudadana,” Mr. C. Isidro Gilberto Hernandez Cardenas, was present and he brought garbage bags and showed the children the different colored stickers. The Manager, Salvador Lorenzana, of the tour called Sierra Madre which is present at Vallarta Adventures, was there, in order to arrange and prepare the children for the first activity that they were going to perform. Lorenzana carefully clarified the different types of garbage and consequently all the participants and the children then visited the streets and the areas around the river in order to collect the garbage.
For the safety of the children, the slicker sides of the river banks were evaded. Looking at all the children, working hard, at their given assignments and picking up the garbage was a sight to behold. Even younger children of merely two years were trying to help out. Up to 20 bags of garbage were collected by 50 children in only a matter of an hour! Our children need a pat on the back, don’t you agree?
Around 12.30 p.m. the children came back to Rivera Cuale to freshen up and enjoy their lunch. This was not the end. There were many activities which took place after lunch. The children were then divided into two groups out of which one of the groups had to remain outside and discover additional information about the environment. The other group was shown different videos related to pollution, contamination, recycling, our nature and its protection. Once both groups had performed their respective activities, the groups were switched.
The next activity generated a lot of fervor in the children as they were asked questions about whatever they had learned throughout the day. Once the children had the incentive that they would win prizes for answering correctly, almost all the children voluntarily participated. Subsequently, the next activity that these children did was to draw. For this they were given prizes by all the organizations that supported this cause. Among them were Frutas Baca, Los Arbolitos Restaurant, Deportes Gutiérrez Rizo, Ecotours de Mexico, Supermercado Gutiérrez Rizo, Encore Consignment Boutique, Red Cabbage Café and Puerto Vallarta Botanical Gardens.
Towards the end all the children assembled at the Rivera Cuale’s nursery, where the planted a Parota tree. The children surely learned valuable lessons throughout the day and they displayed their teachings through their actions. And as the message on the banner at the Cuale River says, “It’s your river, help us keep it clean. Do not litter. Thank you for taking care of the environment in the future.†Let’s all just keep that in mind and keep our environment clean.

Sky Island: being the further exciting adventures of Trot and Cap’n Bill after their visit to the sea fairies $3.55 H “The Sea Fairies,” my book for 1911, I ventured into a new field of fairy literature and to my delight the book was received with much approval by my former readers, many of whom have written me that they like Trot “almost as well as Dorothy.” As Dorothy was an old, old friend and Trot a new one, I think this is very high praise for Cap’n Bill’s little companion. Cap’n Bill is also a new charact… |
