Well in theory it was a beach clean up but I am not sure how much good we did. Today a group of teachers took the year 9's to clean a near by beach. They did some picking up and of course we made a bit of a difference. But then I must admit that I was a little disappointed to see that it had been organised that we then gave each of them a bottle of plastic water and a lunch in a styrofoam container! I obviously did not organise this bit, I just do not know they cannot carry their own water bottle and maybe pack a lunch.. I just felt that the whole point was a bit lost.
But I do have to admit the beach looked much better.
The other disappointing factor is almost all the waste was left over from the festival I so enjoyed, Loi Ktahong. We made all our float wish boats out of fish food or safe material but I can see that this is not caught on all over Thailand. I just get so sad seeing the sea so full of human waste.
