Shariane Beach Clean up “Coast team”
Some old news from the coast but better late than never. Global Education is very present in the coast and to star our activities we chose a beach clean-up. The spot was Shariane beach in north coast, and the activity was conducted on Saturday, Nov 27.
We wanted to attract as many people as possible so we came together and designed a poster and a t-shirt so people could get excited about beach cleaning and come to the event.
The day started really early, we had to be in Shariane beach at 8:30am, that meant waking up early and leaving Bombolulu Workshops at 7:30am. The heat was hard on us, after meeting all the teams we all spread along the beach and started picking everything we could… two hours under the sun made us really thirsty and tired and at 12:00pm we head back with bags full of trash. At the end we filled up around 50 bags of trash, mostly with plastic bottles and sandals which were taken to recycling companies afterward by the people from Vipingo Ridge.
So, after all the efforts we were happy to see all the locals working together for this activity, and even though some people living around the area just came for the food and to complain we didn’t have enough t-shirts for them, everything went as planned, maybe even better than we thought… so now we have to start planning for the next event, stay tuned and find out what we have under our sleeve to keep Kenya beautiful, today, tomorrow and forever! If you couldn’t make it for this event then check out the video and see what you missed, hope to see you next time!
