School Gift Donation

We set out with a simple goal, to inspire young Bahamian children. We hoped to grow the children’s interest in conservation by talking passionately about marine life and how trash can and does affect many living things.

The children were given a talk by team member Khrysdovãn Carroll. Khrys spoke on sustainability and then gifted each child a reusable sandwich bag, provided by Lunchskins! Reusable sandwich bags are perfect for kids to place sandwiches or other snacks in, and the students were all very excited to see and use this novel product! No student had seen or used a reusable bag like this before and were only familiar with plastic Ziplock’s that are often used only once. This comparison presented an opportunity to discuss not only single use items, but also how trash can be hazards to wildlife. In summary, the school visit was a huge success and the children left empowered with additional knowledge on single plastics and the need for conservation.
