Today I commit to strengthening community bonds by stepping into a leadership role. Eco‑Sólidos shows how collective action—motivated by Franklin Ayón and supported by ICRC—can unify warring factions, reduce conflict, and lift morale www.laestrella.com.pa+4The Guardian+4ICRC Blogs+4.
Goal: become a team facilitator—coordinate shifts, welcome new participants, mediate differences, celebrate successes.
Daily actions:
● Begin by helping coordinate morning recycling/planting teams.
● Introduce new participants to routines, safety gear, tools.
● Be a liaison: share feedback with supervisors, suggest improvements, offer support. ● Encourage collective reflection after each session—acknowledge both effort and outcomes.
Value:
● Conflict resolution experience—valuable both inside and out.
● Respect and trust—leadership draws attention and builds relationships. ● Opportunity for sentence reduction: leadership roles are work hours too Justice Trends+1The Guardian+1.
Reflection: End the day by journaling on conflicts I helped smooth and how I showed empathy. Leadership here not only benefits my peers, but also builds the interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence crucial for future success.
