Cleaning Up The Gate Way To The Lungs Of The Earth.

in #life6 years ago (edited)

American Xena Randnor first visited Peru in 2017 to study plant-based medicines as well as to take a journey and experience personal growth while filming a documentary.

Randnor had arrived on the long anticipated journey, after hearing about a village called Belen in Iquitos that was rumored to be one of the most run-down and ignore places in the entire country, Xena sprang into action while on her trip and began to organizing a movement among the locals to do something about cleaning up the trash.

Because of the city's geographical location the Peruvian government completely ignores the people of Belen offering no relief in the form of aid and by default was causing the city's trash to collect over the year in rivers that ran throughout the village.

Xena discovered that it was not out of laziness villagers and locals had not already sprung into action but out of a lack of proper education about the value of Sanitation that led to the crisis experienced by people from the humble town in Peru.

The work began as a movement to inspire locals as a community to get together and show some pride for the land they live on by orchestrating an effort to clean the village. When word of the effort reached neighboring towns the story must have struck a nerve with people as a movement had been born and people had begun pouring into Liquitos to help the townspeople reclaim their pride and the lands natural beauty that had been buried underneath at least ten years of garbage.

For the people living along the Waterway in the small village in Peru the experience has been a complete success as Radnor continues to lead an effort that is currently in the process of raising funds to continue bringing more of the supplies needed to properly establish elements like a school to teach young people about being clean and better educate locals about the danger of poor Waste Management and the benefits of recycling.

Lquitos is positioned at the northern mouth of the Amazon. This Village in Peru is considered to be the gateway to the "lungs of the Earth" In other words, this Village is the last of the large villages before a traveler ventures deep into the jungle. Cleaning this town and helping locals restore dignity among villagers is a very sincere cause that deserves to be given a few moments of everyone's attention.

It's amazing that people like Xena are out there fighting the "good fight" in a world filled with poverty and despair! And It's great You are bringing more recognition for them to a community of people who are interested in a new an better world, free from the system and the weight of having no possibilities, buried under a mountain of trash. If we can inspire each other to make this world a better place! One Piece of trash at a Time!

nice post

Absolutely beautiful! Let's get her here!

I am on it ;D

Yes, please!! I second this motion! :D
I would absolutely love to read more about her project!

I am wondering, what are the plans for the garbage? You mentioned recycling. Horray!! But, what about the things that can't be recycled? What is their situation with landfill access, or reuse/repair/repurpose possibilities? Just curious if this is something they are working on. Anyway-- This is so freakin' cool that Xena is doing this, I am glad I came across your post and can't wait to read more. Following you :)

Nice effort... this is changing the community and more importantly people lives are being brought to an improved higher level.

Yes it would be super cool if someone like her can be rewarded!

First salute to Zena Randnor from my heart, I'm strange what an achievement by Xena Randnor, Dear @jazminmillion you have mention many of the garbage photo as ever, which type of place i think i had never seen in before, this looking as a deeply garbage area, where any person can hate this but Zena Randnor was an alternative one who overcome the irrecoverable place, i hope She obviously deserve as an reward for great kindness mind-ship... Ohh, i'm inspired,,,,

Xena Randor is one of the people this world need today, very happy to see that a single person can single handedly make such a different and such an impact even when the government couldn't . I do work how they survived with garbage flowing through their rivers , so many diseases would spread . And she's even trying to get supplies for a school, thank you jaminmillion for spreading her name

This is a great project, i feel identified because its not different the situation in my country Venezuela, the government dont work for the people, just want to steal. they have my support. see u.

words simply cannot give the true meaning of your dedication.
