Halfway done ! I didn't expect time to fly by so fast this summer, but I guess it's only natural when your scheduled is full of meetings with the team and volunteers, lots of (not always so useful) research but also places to visit and restaurants to eat at. 

We had some very interesting conversations with the main branch which helped define more precisely our deliverables as well as the direction in which to head for the remaining weeks. We gained some great insights while exchanging with leaders from other branches in different parts of Mexico. Slightly surpisingly, while they all have a shared passion for the environment and doing what they can do to fight our current world's problems, the way they see HC and how much they want to get involved in the organisaion as a business varies a lot. This made us review our vision and the suggestions we were making to the main branch as keeping the original spirit of the organisation is very important. We now need to turn all of the research done in the past weeks into a first draft to be presented to the main team.

One of this week's highlight (other than Argentina's crushing defeat against Spain) was the visit of Hagamos Composta's main recycling field on wednesday. After a slighlty longer than expected bus ride (which definitely wasn't because we went in circles 3 times), we got to see where and how the project we're spending our summer on actually functions. Seeing everyone be so enthusiastic at the idea of visiting food waste piles and participate in manual activities was definitely great (and a little funny). On a more serious note, it definitely helped to visualize exactly how the project came to life, how it now operates but also what is the equipment they need and what the funding will actually be used for.
