Taking Care of Our Planet

A group of the children of Casa Hogar los Angelitos took time out of their summer vacation to do their part to help take care of our planet. They cleaned up the garbage that had been contaminating the beaches in the area such as the Playa Grande in the Bara de Navidad.

After a few hours of work, the group of 15 young people rested and ate some delicious carne asada. Thank you to the patrons of the Playa Grande for letting us spend a marvelous day with you.

Luís and Roberto, taking care of the group of young people also participated in this activity, making this an extraordinary team.
