The main part of our "Future Environmental Instructors" project got underway this week. We had a three-day training for seventh and eighth graders, giving them an overview of how to design environmental projects and campaigns that their school environmental clubs can implement come September. We got off to a slightly confused start, but everything quickly fell into place. The kids who are participating are enthusiastic about the subject matter and about teaching others about the environment. Next week, we repeat the training with a group of fourth graders.

This is a picture of my counterpart, Nestor, helping the kids display their campaign outlines and posters. I'm really proud of the work that all the participants have done so far.
