January’s beach cleanup and crowdfunding for new minibus

By Leave a Comment

The Bali WISE students ended January doing a beach cleanup organized by R.O.L.E. Foundation. R.O.L.E. Foundation is currently raising funds to replace the old minibus that was being used for this occasion, and is being used daily to transport the Bali WISE students.

Beach Cleanup

One of the projects of R.O.L.E. Foundation is conducting recurring beach cleanups, every month in a different location. January’s beach cleanup took place at Kedonganan Beach on Friday, January 26. The participants were Bali WISE students and R.O.L.E. Foundation’s team. The beach cleanup began at 7AM and lasted for 1.5 hours.

During the beach cleanup, the government health protocol was implemented by wearing masks and limiting the number of participants. There was a close collaboration with the local authority to ensure that everyone followed the protocol. At 9AM, the Bali WISE students left the beach to go to the ZeroWaste Center to get practical education about how to separate the waste prior to recycling.

Give hope to the next generation of Bali!

R.O.L.E. Foundation is currently raising funds to replace the current old minibus that has been used extensively for the last 10 years. The minibus is needed to transport 15-20 Bali WISE students to off-site learning locations.

Beach Clean Up to Open 2020!

Rainy season in Bali can be quite challenging, although it is a blessing for nature, on the beaches you will find a lot of trash that has been washed up by the heavy rains and storms. One part of the Bali WISE program is to go on a beach cleanup activity with R.O.L.E. Foundation. Arriving at the location, we noticed that the beach was on high tide, but we still found a lot of waste at the beach.

Together with Hilton Bali Resort, SD 2 Benoa and any other participants, we go along the beach with empty rice sacks to collect the wastes. We found many microplastics, ranging from styrofoam, beverage bottles, instant noodles, shampoo sachets, food packages, sandals, and used clothes that were either left by visitors or carried by the waves from the sea. 181,58 kg of garbage were collected that day.

After the activities, all participants were served by Hilton Bali Resort with some refreshments and drinks. We all had a good discussion about how to save the ocean by reducing the use of plastic in our daily routine. It is very delightful to see the clean beach.

Huge thanks to all participants for collaborating with us to take the action as a form of our concern for the environment and encouraging everyone to care more about the environment and waste management. We couldn’t have done this without all our incredible collaborators from teams, volunteers, and people like you!

Week 3 | Term 1, January 22nd 2018 | Bali WISE Skills Education

Hi Peeps! Did you see us last Saturday at Kedonganan Beach? As you know, Kedonganan is a fishing village that has massive waste issues, so Bali WISE and Coca Cola partnered up together to clean the beach! Plastic trash is all over the place and what was even crazier is that we found lots of medical needles! This is a disaster and we have to do something. Just beach clean-up won’t be enough, we need everyone to start separating their waste and recycle what they can. These issues will not only affect businesses, but also us as human beings.
