Projects
Biodiversity Campaign
In March we started the ¨ Biodiversity Conservation Cangrejal Watershed Campaignning,¨ working on radio and TV spots for the La Ceiba region. We launched this campaign with an event kidly hosted by Expatriados, La Ceiba where we unvieled two tv spots and two radio spots made and narrated by the GUARUMA kids. This campaign was made possible with sponsorship from the by Humane Society International (HSI) and we hope will go a long way to promoting the Biodiversity of the Cuenca del Cangreal.
Ecocangrejal 2008
Since February, with sponsorhip from the New England Biolab Foundation, we have been running a project to produce an Environmental newspaper, made and published monthly by the advanced students from GUARUMA El Pital and Las Mangas. We are currently producing the third edition and we hope to make this available for download on the Guaruma Website in the very near future.
Other Acitivities
Through GUARUMA Services Simon Olaleye, GUARUMA instructor, successfully finished a Computer Training Course for 13 members of the communities of the Cangrejal River. During three months, those members were trained in basic computer programs including Microsoft Office and Internet programs. This work was made possible with funding for MIRAand has improved the computer literacy of local people and in turn will greatly benefit their local business.
