Montoreano recalled that “this program has been running for ten years, we, with this new administration, are supporting it and next year we are going to do something much bigger,” anticipating that the goal is “to reach all schools, even with a new program that we are about to launch, which is `Starting at Home, Take Care of Your Neighborhood`, where we are going to go to all the neighborhoods and we are going to address the school in a comprehensive way”.
The Undersecretary of Environment detailed that the idea is to make a real change in consciousness by permanently visiting the more than 100 neighborhoods of the city.
At this Thursday's event “we are also awarding prizes for the photography contest and we also held the closing of the first course related to the productive hub, where we provided training in blacksmithing, which was a success, where many people were left wanting to be part of it so we are going to replicate it” concluded Montoreano.
