While she was teaching ecology in a teacher internship program, She found what she taught was not convincing since she didn't do anything about environment protection written in the textbook. therefore, she started up a program for cleaning beach.She wanted to do implement what she believe is right and good to the environment. from last year to this year at least 2000 people had participated in. till now they'd visited over 10 beaches. during this incredible journey. She figured out that you must use your action to convince other what they don't believe or doubt.
