The First Community service project



While all the other clubs were looking at a fabulous, mind boggling project to take up the club, we though very simple plain and down to earth. Just looked out of our fairy god mother aunt "Sulo's" house at the beach and figured out as to what a dirty place it was. It was immediately decided to clean a small portion of it.

The date was set. Time was set. Things such as gloves, garbage bags purchased and the beach was in the process of being cleaned. Astonishingly, looking at us cleaning our own mess, the passers by also chipped their efforts by helping us pick a few things.

Within just 2 hours, we had filled 17 bags of garbage, exclusive of sand, and had it all dumped at Sulo's for collection by the garbage truck the next day.

What astonished us the most is that it just takes a few people to clean the beach, to begin the chain reaction that brings out the cleanliness within us.

We should do this quite often....else there would be no beach for the future generations to enjoy...!

Looking to see you at the beach to offer a helping hand...!

K!
