My Solution

Since I will be in my home town of the entire summer, I decided to focus on a huge problem that you see everyday here. Santa Cruz, Bolivia thats where I am right now, and here in Santa Cruz we see dogs everywhere in the streets. It probably varies from neighborhood to neighborhood but you see lost/abandoned dogs everywhere, and the common thing between all this animals is that none of them have ID tags. Santa Cruz is a big city but Bolivia is still a developing country so we don't have a place where we can buy a simple pet tag for our animals. So my solution is to buy a printing machine, like the ones used to print stuff on rings or other silverware. The machine is not the expensive and each individual tag is very cheap. So, the solution would be to start to offer this product via social media, local TV news, and probably by going to the main square in downtown which is where everyone goes on weekends and promote the product there. I interviewed 5 people regarding this issue and asked if they would be costumers of the product I am trying to introduce, and they all were thrilled with it. The ultimate goal would be to have the machines you see at Walmart or at Petsmart that basically have mechanized this industry, you just insert a couple bucks into the machine and after a couple of minutes you get your pet tag. I would place this machines strategically at supermarkets around the city, I would do this after raising enough capital with the regular inexpensive printing machine that I would buy at first. After all my expenses have been covered I would like to forward all profits to the very small quantity of animal shelters that do help animals, unlike the dog pound in the city which only collects pets every now and then, to only sacrifice them after a week of having them in their facilities.
