October 2nd the Environmental Awareness Initiative met in Yerevan. This was the first meeting with the A-18 and A-17 volunteers. Meetings were planned and future goals were discussed. The summer Environmental Leadership camps were considered a success. In November the student leaders will be meeting to discuss their community projects. Recently there was an event sponsored by GTZ for World Water Monitoring Day, this was attended by Peace Corps Volunteers involved with children groups.
Some upcoming events include
- October 24th is a trash pickup in Gyumri sponsered by the New Generation NGO
- There will be a bylaws meeting November 23rd
Other plans involve the update of the Green Compass, a book of environmental lesson plans, and volunteers are looking into developing Skype lesson plans.
