Friday, August 1, 2014. JUAN CAAL Reporting:  The knowledge of how to turn what most people consider junk into works of art was passed on to a group of Toledo young people this week.

Thirty boys and girls from different communities completed a week-long workshop on recycling today.

Organizer of the event Placida Requena says that during the course of the week, the workshop participants learned how to do embroidery using recyclable materials from around their homes.

These include making earrings from juice cans, and toys from different things that in the normal course of time would be thrown into the garbage.

“We are very excited to see the participation of the children in wanting to learn new things and can invest their time in something positive to the environment which will help contribute to reduce pollution,” says Requena.
