Clean up at Manzanilla

The Clean-up at Manzanilla on Saturday 16th February was very successful. We started late (true Trinidadian time) because we had to wait on some members in Arima, but we made up for that with our efficient work through rain and sun. On this occasion we had 12 volunteers (three children and two foreign visitors) and we were able to pick up two van loads of garbage, which we disposed of at the dumpster in the Manzanilla Resort. I must comment that the beach was a little cleaner and the first camp site which we usually clean was already clean. We therefore visited the next site which is south of the first. After the clean-up we provided the volunteers with a few refreshments which were purchased by a donation we obtained from TDC.

"That's about it", and I hope to see more volunteers at the next clean-up.
