This is what Cristian had to say about the scholarship programme
Getting involved with the project of the winning essay was a life changing experience for me.
It really made me get more conscious about our future and how part of our society is most affected by the processes that are happening around the world.
It made me understand that we must get more active in matters of sustainability and social development. We are responsible of making an effort to think of others and how we can work as a team.
Our companies have an impact different communities and promote they promote a sustainable economy. Part of the project was to get Argenvans staff more involved with a training program in which we all learned about the correct separation of debris and scrap materials, this made us understand that recycling works as a network, and every link in the chain is important. As I wrote in the essay, no one will be saved alone. We are all thrilled to be a part of this initiative, we felt very helpful and we believe that it is possible to generate a good social impact on the community.
The Cooperative we are assisting is composed mainly by women who are single mothers that with the resources they obtain from recycling they obtain an income for their families.
I really hope this essay encourages other people to work on this kind of project in their companies, neighborhoods, and their own houses.
