Many go to the beach to enjoy the sea and the sun.
But for some 100 OFWs who gathered at Clearwater Bay Second Beach
on the morning of Nov. 3, the objective was to clean up.
Before they sat down for lunch, they had gathered enough
trash to fill 50 large garbage bags, according to Annifer Jen Ringor, leader of
the Freelancer Volunteers and Hikers which organized the beach clean-up.

And while there, they also managed to collect some $5,995.75 for charity.
That day’s beneficiary was Suzzet M.Tamor, a 58-year old widow with three children and three grandchildren, who received P44,900 the next Friday at her home in Barangay Taculing, Bacolod City. |

“We continue doing our environmental initiative in
preserving our beaches, coastlines and trails to inspire more joiners in making
a difference and together making our planet a better place,” said Ringor in a Facebook
call for volunteers.
