"We don’t just pick up trash but our foundation is based on a systematic protocol of segregating the trash collected to help relevant organizations and bodies to identify ways to eliminate the ocean trash in future. We intend to become a beacon of hope, leading and encouraging others to support in keeping our coastline and ocean clean. We hope that our effort will bring self-awareness to the public as they condition their mindset to 'don’t litter, pick up the trash'. Not only that, we hope that the act of cleaning up for others, fosters a better love for one another and for the earth." - Ms Geeva Samynathan
INTERNATIONAL CONNECTION The story of how a friendship built over 10 years ago opens opportunities for RCM to establish international connection today. pg. 08
