Work sessions video shows some of the activities done during the period of July 22 – August 22.  Some other groups’ work were not documented: PTFS gardening, Ti Bakade Beach & TiSese Market place clean-up.

Field Trips were an integral part of the Renesansavo project.  The purpose of the field trips is multifaceted: to provide an understanding and appreciation for the community and environment, create interest and motivate in the team assignments, and allow for reinforcements and enhancement of subjects learned in session such as proper manners and etiquette. These trips also provide memorable moments in shared group interactions that may form a basis for decisions and plans they have to develop for the renewal of the area.

Team reports were done every afternoon after the work sessions.  Some of these reports were documented.  The participants describe their observations and what needs to be done to improve the situations.
