My friends and I are involved in this project on a daily basis. I share ideas with young people and with the community: I feel I\u2019m a full-fledged member now. With the Care team, I\u2019ve worked with communities and small schools to develop project activities, in particular turning boys and girls into budding journalists.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Working with children has a positive impact. We\u2019ve talked about water and about the p\u00e1ramo, and I could feel their interest in conserving natural resources.
