Design for Change is a worldwide project started by a teacher in India and has quickly spread to schools around the globe.

On a bright Saturday (6am) early morning we met at a high school with over 700 young volunteers who had participated in a contest to to come up with a winning idea to make a positive change in their community. For "Beach Clean-up" we were armed with a colorful banner (see me behind it). In addition we had hundreds of trash bags that we used for trash. Filled with the energy of youth, we began to comb the beach and pick up all sorts of plastic, bottles and various debris left by locals and tourists alike. The reward of a job well done was a big BBQ on the beach... and we carefully picked up all our water bottles and trash!
