Students want to improve our city

A group of young students are making a project about the problems of Bragado and they’re looking for solving them to build a better place.

Hi everyone.We’re going to introduce ourselves. Our names are Belen, Maria, Camila and Josefina.We belong to a group called “Agents for the change” and our aim is improve something about the city and parts of our community.

We live in a city called Bragado, which is situated in the north west of Buenos Aires, Argentina’s capital.It’s a small but beautiful town with wide streets and tall trees.

Although it’s a nice place to visit we can see several problems, that we

would like to change like:The pollution in the lagoon.

Although it’s a place to go fishing you aren’t allow to do that, because there are dead fishes, bottles, food

and so on.

Just a few places to have fun with friends.We think this is important because it’s safer have a place to enjoy with

friends, so our parents might be quieter about where we are.

Animals in the street like dogs, cats, without owners.

There aren’t many vaccination plan to children. This is the base to not

communicate illnesses. We have the opportunity to receive the vaccine

but we don’t want to. That’s a huge mistake.

There aren’t many traffic lights, illumination and traffic signals in the streets.These last years we could see an increment in

the traffic accidents.

There are squalid settlements. The people who live there, are poor and they haven’t got any service. The children hardly go to school. Instead of go school

they have to work.

Lack of facilities at school like gyms, sport fields, swimming

pools.

In spite of all these mistakes, our city has good places to

spend time too. One of them it’s the lagoon, where you can

have a great day out of the city and the traffic and enjoy the

open air.

We have a museum.

There is a theatre called “Florencio

Constantino”

A great time to visit our city is in October because

we have an important celebration: “The horse

festival”. There is a parade of horses and people eat roast meat in the tents

prepared for this occasion.

However our main worry is health care. We would like to work on that,

giving talks to young people or people in general, about different

illnesses to teach them what we can do to improve our health.

As group we’re looking forward to hearing about a new and better health care because everyone

deserves it.
