In Paysandu, Uruguay, students of both: School N°23, N°96 and Father Lama School, participated in interesting and entertaining workshops about birds and their conservation. The workshops were organized by the English professor and bird-watcher Gustavo Capuccio, which allowed the participating children to go out on the field to learn how to use binoculars and photo cameras to capture beautiful images of the local birds.
Furthermore, these Uruguayan children participated of a wonderful cultural exchange with children from Ivy Hall School, located in Buffalo, Illinois, United States. The cultural exchange was a total success because it allowed the children to exchange drawings and information on 16 migratory bird species, out of which 4 make it to Uruguay.
