#HAZla Por Tu Playa 2020 🇵🇪 - Lima, Peru

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.

WHEN: Sunday March 8th 2020 at 8:30am Sharp
WHERE: Playa Venecia, Lima, Peru map ?? bit.ly/HAZla2020map
WHAT TO BRING: hat, sunblock, sunglasses, 2L water, a dog, your surfboard, cold beers and a good attitude
WHAT WE WILL PROVIDE: work gloves, bags, hand sanitizer, pen and papers, SWAG
WHO SHOULD COME: Local Guides and their families from the Lima area

If you want more information, here is a link to the Facebook Event for the clean-up: bit.ly/HAZla2020FB
You can sign-up there, or just send me a message here on Connect and we will add you to the list.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Hi @Peruanita ,

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.

You can find here more information why a Connect post is marked as spam.

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.

Since you are new you can have a look at the 14 helpful tips for using Connect to understand how to use Connect, and this article to understand What are Connect topics.

You can also introduce yourself to the community and the other Local Guides here: Introduce Yourself January 2020.

Welcome, welcome in Connect, @Peruanita

I am so happy to see your post. As @LuigiZ said, on 2018 we started in Connect a movement: Local Guides Clean The World with hundreds of activities all around the world, as you can see on the worldwide “Mymaps of plastic pollution”, daily updated by @DavidTito

Feel free to use the logo made for us by @user_not_found . You can download the logo here

Let me tag @marcorp on this post. He’s in Lima too, I guess.

Good luck for the meet-up. Can’t wait to read your recap

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.

Muchas gracias por apoyarnos!

@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.
