Merel Abels, organizer of Kim Sha Beach Beach Cleanup, is looking forward to hosting this event and helping to respect the island's environment. “Cleaning the beach is a great way to make the island more attractive and to involve young people in a fun and entertaining way. The competition is organized to raise awareness and educate children about recycling and the environment. Great prizes will be awarded for the most effective of them, but the most important thing is to have a good day together for a good cause! "
