Take A Stand In The Sand '09

2 weeks ago, my company had a beach cleanup campaign at 2 of our properties... it's part of our corporate social responsibilities program, so have to go support a bit lah. this is the first time we're doing this, and i'd say we did quite a good job! ;)

this campaign was carried out concurrently at 2 of our properties, across a total of 3.5km stretch of beach. other than the staff, we brought in the children from our 2 adopted homes from pd and seremban. even tho' the kids did not really do the cleaning up and spent most of their time playing on the beach, this is a good chance to expose them to such things as keeping our beaches clean and working as a team. also, we teamed up with the municipal council of pd for a loan of their beach cleaning equipment like the rake and their garbage truck.

we spent about 3 hours under the scorching sun, picking-up a total of 3 ton of debris from the sea, discarded polyfoam plates and cups, plastic bags, cigaratte buds, durian seads, various clothings (we even found a bra! no kidding!) etc...

here are some photos to share...

at the deck by the beach, all set... for breakfast! hehehe...

the vip table... one thing abt working with the gahmen is, everything must follow protocol.
sometimes, we let ourselves be so occupied with all the protocols that we loose sight of
what's really important! but that's just my own two sen lar... :P

the rest of us unwashed were expected to make do with what we were given. no complaints, pls!

after breakfast and some speaches (short one by our MD, and a long one
by the ydp of mppd *rolls eyes*), we had a bit of a warm-up session...

THEN ONLY we start on our beach cleanup...

comparing "beach bums". whose "bum" is bigger? hehehe... obviously, i lost! :(
