OKI CLEAN_no.18

今日も地元のサーファーさん、Dくんを含む4名の方が入水前に一緒にクリーニングしてくれました！クリーニング後もゴミ袋を運んでくださったりで、本当大助かり！

ありがとうございます〜:)

そして、お隣の島より家族でビーチに遊びに来ていた方が、よく島内のビーチクリーニングをしているそうで色々教えてくださいました！笑顔の素敵な方でした!

この辺りの小学校では6年生を中心に各島のビーチクリーニングを開催しているとのことです！

子供の頃からの教育本当に大事です！そして、この数ヶ月続けて来て、声をかけてくださる方やお手伝いを申し出てくださる方が少しずつでてきて、本当にうれしいです！

これからも多くの人がさらに綺麗な海を思って何かアクション起こしてくださいますように☆

4 local young surfers including Mr. D joined the cleaning again before they went into the water. They even helped to carry the heavy trash bags to our car after they finished surfing! It was very helpful and we are very thankful!!

We had a chance to talk to a lady who were visiting the beach from neighboring island and told us she and her family is doing beach cleans very often in their neighborhood and gave some tips about cleaning since we have been working on the big debris from the ocean for a while. 
she even told me the 6th graders on the island organize beach cleanings on each island periodically. 
I am so happy since I believe educating kids to preserve nature is very essential part in the process! 

and we've been doing beach cleaning past few months on this beach, and people finally have started to pay attention and say hello and even offer for the helps! Slowly but surely! I'm so grateful about the gradual shift within people's mind:) 

Hoping that more people would have the similar thoughts to preserve the environment and put anything into actions!
