Our new Education Assistant, Maripaz de San Miguel Brinquis, has begun her Vodafone World of Difference project on waste reduction in two Hackney primary schools. The two schools are already doing lots of recycling, so she is helping them look at ways to reduce and reuse more of their waste. The project has gotten off to a great start, and the enthusiastic pupils are now hard at work on publicising their campaigns to the whole school.
Read more about Maripaz’s project on our website and on her blog.
