Dec 08 - Village clean up campaign

Village clean up campaign

December is the height of the tourist season on the islands and it’s the time of the year when foreigners go on holiday to enjoy the sun, sea and sand. Libong Island is the largest island in Trang with a population of over 6000 villagers. More people means more garbage on the island and this is not a welcoming sight for anyone visiting the area or enjoying a village walk. The Lifelong Learning Foundation sponsored a village clean up campaign targeting children in particular. The movement was a follow up activity of the Thai-Swedish project on waste management on Libong Island.
