Equipped with machetes and brush cutters, about 100 people began the cleanup and clearing work on 1.5 kilometers of the central median of the Centenario highway, from the district of Arraiján towards the capital city. Weeks ago, the Arraiján mayor's office had called on citizens from this district to join this cleanup task, managing to register 500 people. The work session includes an incentive of $25.00 for each participant, funded by the Arraiján mayor's office. There were even women in the work group. Stefany Peñalba, mayor of Arraiján, reported that the intervention in this area is part of the actions for the recovery and maintenance of public spaces. In this first phase, approximately 1.5 kilometers are being intervened through weed removal and solid waste collection tasks that pose a risk to those who travel daily on this road. Stefany Peñalba indicated that the cleanup work will be extended along eight kilometers of the central median of this highway. This action also aims to prevent accidents and promote a safer, cleaner, and more orderly environment for everyone. "This is not just a cleanup, it's a change of mentality." "We are recovering spaces that belong to all and showing that when we work together, we can transform Arraiján."
