R&S Group “Movilízate por la Selva”

It is an honor for our R&S Group to be one of the first to participate in the Roots and Shoots Spain blog y we would like to take the opportunity to wish the blog and all the followers the best of luck!

Distributed among Barcelona, Madrid, Álava, Cantabria and A Coruña, we are currently a group of members (all volunteers). We are working to beat the successful results of the 2010 campaign from the IJGE “Movilízate por la selva” (that’s where we got our name) with a the help of a computer, an Internet connection and lots of enthusiasm.

We handle the design aspects of the promotional material, update the web page, translate texts, maintain contact with donors, thank participates through the Chimpamigos program, etc. And you too can help us in many different ways exceed the 6,500 cell phones that were collected for recycling in 2010. You can simply send us an e-mail and we’d be happy to help you find the best way to participate that fits into your own schedule and interests.

The funds received, thanks to the recycling of these cell phones, is destined to support projects for the development of communities in the Congo area, educational programs and conservation in the Republic of Congo (for example the Chimpanzee Rescue Center Tchimpounga.
