Mission Statement

@gogreentoyRD is dedicated to teaching kids how to reduce, reuse and recycle in a fun way using art and play therapy Our values include forming the youth to understand the importance of environmental protection with integrity, ethical aspirations and social responsibility. We are committed to ensure that waste management is done correctly by local institutions and work as a non-partisan collaborator of the NGO community offering our help and resources to all and work towards a more sustainable planet. We fight so that the right to a clean earth is acknowledged as *the* Human Right whereby all other human rights fall under. We works with the general public and partners towards the attainment of the sustainable human development goals adopted by the world community and the realization of progress in climate change matters.

Description

We are a very unique and original NGO that has been working on climate change, recycling and environmental protection since the year 1998. We aim to become the first and leader of its kind and expand to other nations taking the project as a tool for a waste free and clean ecosystem so that our youth can be free of this burden we have all created.

We focus on children and use art and play therapy to reinforce their stand in social activism and our work has shown that they, in turn, teach other children and their families. We need help to make this a long term and consistent effort.

You don't have to worry about what you can do. We open our doors to virtual assistance and with you within your skills. We also provide those serious and hardworking helpers (that we call greensters) with recommendation letters (perfect for students looking for experience).

Our programs include:

1. Green workshops and talks -- open to the public virtually and in person.
2. Field work -- gathering information that helps improve our mission including interviews, surveys, etc.
3. Proposals -- We want for the change to be effective and efficient. Our field work and Events are combined with information gathering that enables us to form professional proposals to local and international organizations.

This position is listed as data entry, but unfortunately it involved spreadsheets which I have little experience in. I found the work interesting because I had to research companies overseas (virtually) and enter the information in the spreadsheet. However, I found it very difficult and very tideous and would only recommend it to those who like a LOT of work and are more than comfortable entering data into an Excel spreadsheet. In all fairness, the company did their best to 'train' me, but unfortunately it wasn't enough to want me to stay. I was unemployed at the time and wanted this job for something to do, but my job seeking skills took precedence.

I am very interested in helping more than anything to promote all those projects that could be created with the help of famous followers more than anything so as not to continue destroying the planet and everything else.
