Having arrived in Mexico City and taken in the change in scenery, I await the opportunity to meet personally the organisation with whom I will be working with for the duration of the next 5 or so weeks, Hagamos Composta, this coming afternoon. In the meantime we began learning about the project based learning methodology that we will be following in the coming weeks. Additionally, we had the opportunity to tour the premises of another group's organisation, Rennueva, whom as well as recycling, educate their local community using an idiosyncratic mobile bus museum and are the only such recycling businesses in Mexico that definitively does not utilise child labour. 

Between onboarding, watching the world cup, and getting used to navigating Mexican traffic as a pedestrian, I have managed to see some sites including Chapultepec Castle, once the seat of political power, from which there is an image below of a beautiful stained glass window. The castle, demonstrative of the acculturation between Mexican and European peoples, served as a great introduction to the history and culture of Mexico which I hope to learn much more about in the coming weeks.
