Plastic Recycling Project Appeal 2021 

In 2016, community activists in the Mayan towns of Tekax and Oxkutzcab in the Yucatan province of Mexico, organised into a colectiva mujeres (women's collective) now known as Operation Kindness Mexico.  With support from the Mandala Trust - a UK-based children's charity, they have since initiated a number of inspiring community initiatives including a permaculture project in which the local children learn how to cultivate organic food, breakfast clubs for school children, and yoga and meditation lessons to nurture the children's well-being.

OK Mexico are now raising funds to purchase equipment for a new community recycling project that will recycle plastic waste in the area, engage local youth in environmental awareness programmes, and create a source of income through the production of 'plastic wood' in order to develop and sustain the Yucatan Kindness School - a youth education and permaculture project in which children and young people from across the province will learn to care for themselves, for each other, and for the planet.
