Hello Local Guides Community! My name is Blanca and I am level 6 local guide from Lima, Peru! This is my first post on Connect and I am super excited to join this community.
I would like to invite all guides in the area to participate in our upcoming meet-up! It is part of an initiative called ‘HAZla Por Tu Playa’ or ‘DO It For You Beach’! It is a national movement here in Peru to rid the beaches of plastic pollution. It is a ton of fun and we make a big impact! Last year we pulled off almost 200kg of trash from the beach, this year we are hoping to double that!
If you would like to join in, here are the details. And if you have any questions, feel free to send me a DM.

I want to let you know that I’ve moved your post out of the spam and it is now visible publicly. Our filters are sensitive and running 24/7 and sometime also a legitimate message can be caught by the filter.
This is a very nice initiative, thank you for sharing. Let me tag here @ErmesT as this is something very similar to the Clean The World campaign among Local Guides worldwide.
Let me also suggest to use the official meetup platform where you can submit your meetup so that it will become visible on Maps and here on Connect to the other Local Guides as well. You can have a look also at How to organize a successful meet up.
Hola @angelasm0607 ! Muchas gracias por tu interés, en esta oportunidad nosotros estamos encargados de esta playa al sur, pero la misma asociación de HAZla por tu Playa tiene varios organizadores que se distribuyen por las demás playas de Lima. Puedes encontrarlos en facebook y escribirles directamente para mas información! Todas las limpiezas de playa se organizan en Marzo, así que aun tienes tiempo para poder coordinar con una mas cerca a tu zona.
@ErmesT thank you my friend for tagging me… @Peruanita Bienvenida a Connect, mi nombre es Marco, de Lima, escribeme por interno para contarte un poco del tema de Local Guides en el Perú. I think I can participate in this event. In the case of Peru, the government needs to put in place strict laws for whoever toss garbage on the streets and/or beaches… It is a mindset issue that goes way back to previous generations… STILL this kind of events might create awareness among some Peruvians and hopefully start behaving properly.
I have added you story in Local-Guides-Clean-The-World-The-Map I encourage to have look and you will find under Layer: Clean The World Global Event 2018Worldwide Group #LocalGuides
Thank you @ErmesT for that tag another wonderful story
