The shoreline was filthy in the morning, with flowers, idols, decoration material, broken glass, etc. Children got down to work in right earnest, armed with gloves and aprons and did a commendable job of cleaning the beach. Please see the album which has pictures of the beach before the cleanup, during cleanup and after!

The schools that took part today include Villa Theresa, Little Flower of Jesus, D Y Patil International School (Nerul), Bombay International School, Nalanda Academy and

Colaba Municipal School

The cleanup drive gives the children a first hand experience of the damage caused to our oceans and beaches. Prior to this activity, CMCA children have been spreading the importance of an eco-friendly celebration in their neighbourhoods.
