HOPE Dirt Free Beach

Wellawata Beach is long being a place for the masses to spend their leisure time in the evenings especially on Sundays. But now it has become a disgusting place covered with garbage and has hampered the cleanliness of the beach. So as Leos we decided to clean our beach and make it a pleasant place for the people. This is one of the annual and continuous projects of our club.

We had it on the 18th July, 2010. On the day of project we started the work as we announced to keep up our punctuality, though we had only few at that time. Then in an hour’s time about lots of people gathered.

Club provided the gloves to all those who joined with us in cleaning beach side and collecting the plastics, polythene and bottles. The Club also provided the breakfast for all who participated. Honourable minister Rauf Hakeem, who came their also praised us and encouraged us to continue the social service that we do. Even some public came forward and motivated us to precede these kinds of community projects which they will also support in future. Finally we were able to collect 30 garbage bags full of polythene and plastics which are handed over a local recycling company. This project gave us a huge satisfaction as we did a contribution to the area in which we live, for the benefit of all its residents.
