My name is Maribel Velez , I'm a history and a geography high school teacher in Morovis Puerto Rico. Also I'm an environmental education focusing in sustentability. I have a group of students who work with me in a special project with a special community close to our school. This community have a huge problem with there groundwater. The residents contamined the groundwater because there septic tank are ineffective. This problems require environmental education to the community because them don't have the knowlegde and the economic resources to solve the problem. We are looking for help to this community, one of the think we do was offer a workshop of groundwater resource, we make a percepcion and knowlegde questionaire and write to all goverment environmental officies to ask for the construction of a community septic system. Now we are in the process to design a civic and environmental curriculum to help the community adquire the making decision ability. I will be working with this community until this problem get solve.
