In Ensenada, CETYS Alumni joined “Ocean Conservancy”, a global project that identifies the types of waste in the beaches and streams, with the purpose of eliminating the sources of this problem and reduce pollution. This activity took place in San Miguel Beach in Ensenada.

“I loved being part of this experience. I know there are no small efforts, everything adds up, and many wills are required to make a change. Our planet needs it. I am proud that my alma mater is part of this project, and I hope this will continue and many more people will join” said Deneb Campos Martinez, Industrial Engineering graduate.

In the city of Tijuana, the Alumni visited the Orphanage “Colina de Luz”, a nonprofit organization where different activities were carried out, focused on teaching the children about emotional intelligence. Also, a donation of goods was delivered to the Orphanage.
