We are embarking an important environmental project in El Salvador in partnership with Rotary San Salvador Norosste.

We are helping to reduce the large amounts of toxic plastic and garbage from entering the Pacific Ocean and improving the health and safety of beach and offshore areas. This will be done by a volunteer effort to clean eight targeted beaches, provide garbage receptacles ( already donated) and now have a commitment from the beach community municipal governments to regularly empty receptacles. we have been raising funds since Christmas and with the district grant have enough to complete the first beach. we also have a crowdfunding page and have raised a small amount of money mainly from young people. This page provides a positive exposure for us to a young population.

Further fund raising projects are being planned which includes the help of some interested UBC volunteers
