We have visited schools where there are no active members of the network and has met with managers who are not very interested and indifferent to our invitation.

We have learned that we should look for more appropriate strategies to reach more teachers and add members to our network, because if it is not through their managers, it will be directly using social networks and other media to help us achieve this objective.

Delay in the purchase of vests and badges.

In the community of Loreto it is difficult to find a market to make the purchases of the required products, but solutions have been found in the online market, this means delay in what the available product is and the shipments are made.

There was only one person coordinating the CLAL project with only 5% of time to develop this project.

Nowadays, assistance was contracted for the environmental education program and there is more time to follow up on this project.
