Clean up Party ( Part1)

Hello dear Tunza Eco Generation members, I have now found time to write the report about the 'Clean up Party' I am sorry for the late report. I have started high school this year and I had a bit difficulties with managing time.
   So, as you know, I have been chosen to be the 17th Eco-generation Regional Ambassador to Uzbekistan. I wanted to start my actions in the place where I grew up. I announced that I will be holding a Clean Up Party and many of my groupmates told me that they also want to participate. When I told them that it will start at 2 p.m., some of them told me that they cant vome qith me. I think about 70% of Uzbekistan youth go to tutors in order to get better education and about 35% of their lessons start after 1p.m.. I couldnt cgange the time as I already yold everyone about the party and I went there with 4 of my groupmates.
   When we were by the apartments, we didnt see any kids and it was good because we had some spare time to prepare for the activities. I wore my t-shirt sent by TEG and came out of my house. I got all the prepared items out and we started taping them on to walls and doors of my apartment. When we were almost ready, 12 little kids were standing in a row and waiting for us. I asked the girls to speak only in English in order to influence little kids. My groupmates also liked the idea of speaking in English and they agreed with me.
   We divided them into to 2 groups of blue and brown. To recognize the members of their own team, we tied blue ribbons to the members of the blue team and brown ribbons to the members of the brown team. As the kids were young, we had to teach them every English word we said. Although they didnt learn by heart every word we taught them, they did remeber words such as 'thank you, yes/no, sorry, ok' and so on. We told them to line up by height and I divided  them in to 2 groups and picked 2 groupleaders, 1 for each team. The first activity was 'More sweets- more trash!' I explained the rules of the game and we started it with a timer. Kids had about 10 minutes to clean up the apartments and work for candy. It was so fun to see all those kiddos running all around the apartments and cleaning up. When the time ended , we called all the participants. We also asked if they liked the game and the answers we got were great. I gathered the 2 groups and gave each participants my business card. I told them to call me if they have any environmental problem or ideas. Also, I forgot to say, we had some water in plastic bottles. We told all the participants to follow the hygiene rules and they all washed their hands. This was the end of our first activity and we were eager ti start the second one faster.
