The Beach Clean Up Project, which is organized by ENRICH, a group of English-speaking youth at the Institute of Foreign Languages, was started to celebrate World Environment Day. This year 47 volunteers came together to spruce up Ochheuteal beach in Sihanoukville on June 5 and 6.
The efforts were not only meant to clean up the beach, but also to spread information to local youth and vendors, as well as tourists about the impact of pollution, and to encourage them to play more active roles in protecting the environment.
Project participants also designed posters and logos on rubbish bins and then celebrated a hard day’s work by playing beach games and joining in otherteam -building activities.
“We believe that this campaign encourages a better understanding of the environment among the people we reach out to,” said Sarin Sirivudh, the co-facilitator of ENRICH. He added that people involved can go on to set up clean-up projects in their own communities.
“This is a great opportunity to socialise with people,” said Hang Sopheak, a participant from the Royal University of Law and Economics.
“I believe that I will be able to learn skills such as leadership, communication, problem solving and teamwork from my peers.”
ENRICH provides participants with both memorable experiences and an opportunity to improve their understanding of environmental issues, problem solving and teamwork.
