BEACH CLEANUP CLUB
Let's cleanup the beach in Okinawa!
Next Event Date: October 13, 2024 (Sunday) 10:00 – 12:00
Club Overview
Churakids holds monthly “beach cleanup activities” to clean up beaches in the prefecture while having fun with parents and children. We hope to clean up Okinawa’s beaches in cooperation with American volunteers. We look forward to your participation!
Creating a Future of Coexistence Between Humans and Nature
Protecting Okinawa’s rich natural environment is protecting our future. Preserving beautiful coastlines, optimal use of resources. Each of our individual awareness and actions creates the future for the next generation. Let’s move forward step by step together.
Environmental Protection
Through this activity, you can directly witness the problem of floating garbage and plastics in the sea. This experience helps to deeply understand the current state of environmental destruction and serves as an opportunity to strengthen awareness and consideration for the environment.
Education
Children feel the seriousness of environmental problems firsthand through picking up garbage on the beach. This practical, on-site experience, which cannot be obtained just by learning in the classroom, changes children’s awareness and plays a role in nurturing a generation that will value the environment in the future.
Community
Participants with various backgrounds, ages, and nationalities work together. This collaboration not only creates new friendships and connections but also deepens relationships with existing friends and family. Working together and helping each other strengthens community bonds.
International Exchange
Joint activities with American volunteers and participants from other countries deepen understanding and respect between cultures. Cooperation under a common purpose, beyond differences in language and culture, also becomes an experience of international exchange and an opportunity to broaden participants’ perspectives.
Achievements
Through Churakids’ beach cleanup activities, we have collected a total of 1,588 bags of trash. Your participation will help increase this number. Let’s protect Okinawa’s seas together!
Volunteer Participation Certificate
We issue a “Volunteer Participation Certificate” to everyone who participated in Churakids’ beach cleanup as a token of our appreciation. This certificate is meant to record your valuable contributions.
For those who applied online in advance, we will hand out the certificate on the day of the event. For those who participated on the day of the event (by QR code reception), we will send the certificate in PDF format at a later date. Churakids will continue to make efforts to ensure that your activities are recorded. (※The certificate is created with a different original design every time.)
