On December 9, 2014, the Playa Community hub participated in the Social Inclusion fundraising
event where the team picked up recyclable materials in the streets of Playa del Carmen. Their efforts supported the GVI partners and had an impact on the community and poor of Mexico. The
team raised 767 GPB and removed roughly 80 kg of recyclable materials and 300 kg of rubbish
from the streets of Playa Del Carmen.

Report
Toilet bowls. Soda cans. Paper. Cardboard boxes. Clothes. Tires. Metal materials. Cable wires.
These are just some of the items dumped into the jungle area and school near the volunteers temporary home in Playa Del Carmen. Everyday locals, volunteers, and children from the school walk
through heavily littered areas. The GVI volunteers wanted to help change this reality. They decided
to participate in a fundraising event that focused on picking up rubbish and recyclable materials:
Recycling for Social Inclusion. In Mexico, the government donates money to the poor with each recyclable material given to the government. Therefore, this event supported the GVI partners and
had an impact on the community and disenfranchised people of Mexico.
