During the month of February a team ten young adults from Moreno have been given a physical challenge by the Fundación Pro Vivienda Social: they are mapping every block of their neighborhood, that´s some 158 blocks, in order for us to begin the construction of the new gas line for them and their families!
The team is made up of 10 young people from low income suburbs in Greater Buenos Aires. Five are graduates from our First Opportunity Program and the other five are new interns who are participating in the program this year (see our other reports to learn more about the project and its aims). Together, they are working with neighbors and Community Development Workers to survey their neighborhoods and map the six neighborhoods which are involved in the Neighborhoods in Unity and Future Trust Fund.
Their mission is to paint a picture of the neighborhoods in order to understand the physical state before the construction of the natural gas network. The information they are collecting includes information about the state of roads, footpaths, plazas, schools, public amenities and infrastructure – the more we know before we build the gas line the faster, safer and easier the process becomes.
We wish them luck and will be sure to share the maps they produce once they are done!
Thanks for your ongoing support!
