Learn how to make all sorts of arts and crafts projects with our friend, Meli. Manos a la obra is a new series for all the DIY kids and teenagers out there who love to get to work. The Spanish expression "manos a la obra" literally means "let's put our hands into the work" and is customarily used by Spanish speakers to encourage each other to work when a task is at hand. In this video, Meli shows us how to make some delicious treats inspired by the video game, Minecraft. Are you ready to practice your Spanish while having some crafty fun? Let's get to work!

In the next two episodes of Manos a la obra [Let's Get to Work], our friend, Meli, teaches us to make origami bookmarks inspired by our favorite Pokemon characters. Let's get started with Charmander.

Meli concludes the segment on Pokemon bookmarks by teaching us how to make Pikachu.

Meli teaches us how to make "papel picado" [perforated paper] banners to decorate the altars to the dead set up to honor and remember those who have passed away during the celebration of the "Día de los muertos" [Day of the Dead], a holiday celebrated in Mexico on November 1st and 2nd.

Meli teaches us how to make fun dinosaur jars and note holders.

Today is an important day in the Sevillian town of Albaida de Aljarafe as it is holding its first dog show/contest specifically for pure Spanish Greyhounds, a breed that has been somewhat endangered recently due to crossbreeding with English Greyhounds.

Los Reporteros goes behind the scenes to explore how Greyhounds are selected for racing.

Animal protective services calculate that fifty thousand greyhounds are abandoned annually in Spain, and it's not just greyhounds. In fact, Spain's animal abandonment statistic of four hundred pets per day put it at the top per inhabitant per year out of the entire European Union.

While many Spanish greyhounds are meticulously taken care of, many animals considered unworthy or past their prime are simply abandoned by their owners.

Whatever the number of abandoned or put down greyhounds in Spain might be, it has been documented for many years and has taken on the aspect of an authentic epidemic that only international adoptions relieve.
