Beach clean up- Playa El Yankee
December 2005
December 2005
After months of harsh hurricane conditions, the Pacific coast of Nicaragua was
covered with plastic and rubber debris washed up on the beaches.
If we don't clean it up, who will?
If we don't do it now, when?
Simple questions, easy solutions.
Just recruit some local help, reward them with Pizza a ride to the beach and
look what happens!
Local surf kids and adventurous travelers drawn by a mutual admiration of our
oceans combine forces to solve the problem.
On behalf of the Nica Dev Fund and our planet, Muchisimas Grcias!

Chicago, Ill.
On a year long travel through
Central America to climb
volcanoes and surf the many
beaches, these two
international heroes took
precious time out of their days
to help clean up the beach.
They had kind hearts and
shared secrets of music, film
and alternative technologies.
Thanks guys, travel safe and
keep in touch!

My local surf buddy and life long friend. What a heart
this kid has. He is the future of Nicaragua. Never
was asked to helped, just picked up a bag and
pitched in.
Va pues mi amigo!
