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.
