Beach Cleanup!

This was a very fun service project, we have a great time while serving our community. We had a great time, all we had to do was go to a beach in Tai Po, and then just clean junk off the beach. The team that had the most of a specific category would recieve a prize, and somehow that motivated us to work harder and faster. As soon as we got there, we saw that the beach was riddled with trash. We immediately got down to work, we picked up bottles, plastic bags, a broken lamppost, basically anything we could see. Our team of boys worked hard on a specific section of the beach, and we were able to pick up more than thirty glass bottles that were washed up on the shores of the beach. To our surprise we actually won in that category and recieved a prize, but because I wasn't at school the day they distributed the prize I wasn't able to get the prize. :( However the greatest challenge was not to just pick everything up, but to get it back up around 3 flights of stairs and to the bus. Once everything was done; all the rubbish was picked up by workers. We went down to see what else we could bring up. Not wanting to leave empty handed, we decided to pick up a broken lamppost and bring it up to the bus. That was the most memorable part of the service trip. Around ten guys picked up the heavy iron lamp post, put it on our shoulders, and brought the whole thing back to the bus. Then we went home, the experience was somthing I would remember through the ages.
