Finally the second one!

We were really excited because of this visit, not only we were going to clean more the Estero but also because a friend, Jen, call me during the week to ask me about our social social action and how we were doing, who were going, the times, and many other things related to the recolletion of garbage in the Estero. So after the call we set a date to go with her.

We went some thursday since 10am to 2pm at least. When we first arrived we hope to see other friends we had invite, sadly only Jen was there, but she is great and really active so we were pleased! We first went to check out the zone where we worked the last time and it was almost just as we leaved it, yes, it had some new garbage, but compared with our first visit... it was very clean!!

well, we started working again in the same zone... that was easy!, but then, when we moved.. the work really began..! this time we found cardboards, glass and plastic bottles, bags, cans, we even found a shoe! that was funny, but besides that it was shocking to find all those things next to the Salado. this day each one of us recollected 3 or 4 bags full of garbage, maybe a little bit more because in one moment of the afternoon a small kid joined us, he brought his own bag, at the beggining he was really shy and calm, but as the time went by he started talking with us about his life and that his mother works in one of the houses in Kennedy, in the part next to the Estero, where he has to stay every day doing nothing because he doesn´t study. His name is Luis, he also told us that he saw us from the house where his mother works and that he decided to help us because we are girls and seem to need help.

When we finished the recollection we bought some sodas to refresh ourselves and started talking about the experience, we remembered the class aboout cognitive surplus and the most important thing that we talk about was that everyone of us spend our days doing nothing, watching tv, chating in the msn, texting on our cells, even Luis told us that all day he watches cartoons, instead of doing something. Jen also realize that a normal day for her was: wake up at 12am, stay in pijamas until 4pm, go to the u at 5pm and coming back home to sleep. she told us that she was happy about it but that she was starting to get tired so she would start doing social labour at least once a week, because she wants to produce more than what she consumes daily, and Luis also told us that he would help us when he see us next to the Estero.

Well, after this visit we are going to keep insisting to our friends to join us for the next one.. hope we recruit more people to do it!
