This was an initiative by Fountainhead School, where we contributed towards the cleaning of dirty beaches in Surat City. We were at the Suvali beach, where there was a lot of plastic, biodegradable waste. People dump the waste all around the place, not even thinking about the global consequences and repercussions.
LO4: Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences.
We had in our minds, that we have to clean the beach in a certain time frame. We were quite determined towards the task given by the school authority and dealt with sincerity.
LO5: Demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively.
As we were working in groups, we had the benefit of working collaboratively, however, there are many clashes of opinion and there are some people showing less interest in the activity. Still, we managed to work as efficiently as we could and were done with the activity. Working in a group increases the productivity as we could divide ourselves and clean many areas simultaneously.
LO6: Demonstrate engagement with issues of global significance.
This issue of garbage at beach hold immense amount of global significance. Such waste travels across the sea and enters the oceans, which ultimately affects the marine life. We humans are the responsible ones for the downfall of marine life. I feel that everyone should conduct such activities often, and try to prevent generate huge amounts of waste and dumping them on the beach.
