Today was my very first day working with the Tres Por Uno program.It was such an amazing experience. Everyone was very nice, supportive, and everyone was passionate about the program's goal. Since it was my first day, my superior Denise, showed me around and introduced me to everyone working on the program. Once I was introduced to everyone, I went into the meeting they had and took notes. The meeting was about an hour long and consisted of everyone talking about what's was completed and what needs to be done still. They were working on a project to fix the roads near schools in Zacatecas. From what I understood, the government there did not want to use the money raised for the roads, but for taxes to help relieve people from some of their responsibilities. which is bogus! After numerous conversations, the government finally agreed to use the money for the roads near schools. After this was discussed, we then discussed how to get more donations and get the word spread about this program. Some suggestions included flyers, social media postings, as well as setting us booths at Mi Pueblo or the Flea Markets. After the meeting was completed, I was asked to complete a summary of the meeting and email it to the company. Then I was asked to input some information into a google doc. After this was done, I had to work on creating a flyer to spread the world. Sadly, it was time to leave. I really enjoyed my day working with this program. It was crazy to see how our interactions with the government make such a difference. It's crazy to see how behind the scenes works and I really liked it. I can't wait for next Friday to continue working with this program!
