Construction continues at the Recycling centre
By Ross Deans | GVI Charitable Trust Manager

Daily collection of compost has been going really well with some donations helping to purchase hosing to water the compost area rather than carrying buckets a couple of hundred meters.
Meanwhile construction of the centre continues. Electric wires and lamps have been purchased and installed to aid work meaning that the labourers can continue work after daylight. We have also purchased and transported more building materials, unfortunately as Punta Allen is a remote area it is difficult to source materials locally.
We are seeing real progress at the centre and hope to complete the first stage of construction over the next few weeks.
Many thanks to everyone who has supported this project and we look forward to sharing more news soon.

Amazing support for the GVI Charitable Trust
By Alice Burrow | GVI Charitable Trust
We would like to share the most recent trustee report from the GVI Charitable Trust. This report covers the six month period from July to December 2011.
This has been by far the most successful period. In six months we have raised nearly as much as we did the whole previous year. This increase in funding has brought a corresponding increase in the impact we have been able to create on our programs around the world.
During this period we have invested in sustainable education across Latin America. This includes support for the elderly in Guatemala and income generation schemes to support education in Honduras and Ecuador. In Mexico we have worked with a community to establish a recycling centre and in Kenya our partners in Mombasa will now see impoverished students complete primary education to earn qualifications for the first time.
These are just a few highlights of an amazing, productive and rewarding six months. Thank you to everyone who has supported us and played a crucial role in these achievements.

Recycling centre made from plastic bottles!
By Lluvia Soto | GVI Mexico Country Director

We are very excited to share that construction at the recycling centre has now started.
During the recent lobster festival celebration, we had a busy day in the recycling centre. After Tropical storm Rina, a lot of the plastic was blown away (as it does not have a proper storage place), so we joined forces to tidy up the plastic and things were shifted around as the construction will start soon and we need to make space for all the building materials.
Also, 10 new containers were built to place around town as more people wish to join the programme.
The construction is starting this weekend, after discussion with the community we have decided to build the centre with plastic bottles!! Yes, with all the plastic and glass bottles that have been collected in town! People in town will come in groups to help the centre, and hopefully in a few weeks it will be finished!
We are still focused on raising funds to finish building the recycling centre. Thank you to everyone who has supported this project so far or will moving forward.
