We had a lovely time picking up plastic on the beach the other day. There were eight of us altogether, including two of our English students and three of our helpers, all with exciting backgrounds and travel plans. Our aim was to make Coco Beach, or the Reef, look squeaky clean with no hint of …

On the 17th of May CLEAR Community united together to carry out what we liked to call ‘Operasi Semut’ (Operation Ant).
