- Press Release - On the morning of August 7, as the warm sun rose over the beaches of North Ambergris Caye, a group of about 25 persons all from different origins, came together under one ideal - "Beautify our Beach".
Miss Gloria Franklin with the help of Raul from Green Reef Foundation invited the whole neighborhood of North Ambergris and at 8:30a.m. everybody gathered at the palapa at Sueno del Mar. Sharing smiles and laughs, everybody walked down the beach, bagging all plastic, glass and all kinds of drifted garbage from the beach.
As the sun rose so did the temperature; this was no drawback for our island lovers. One and all sharing the same love for the beach, carefully picked all kinds of trash, bagged it and set it to the side of the road.
Three full pickup loads of garbage were disposed and now the beach clearly shows the great difference made by a group of friendly neighbors whom all truly showed their love and passion for the beauty of our paradise.
Many of the club members had their own schedule to enjoy their stay here in Belize and when the opportunity came to show their love for our land, they did not hesitate to volunteer and walk down the beach and cleanse it from the garbage. Many of these volunteers enjoy daily early morning runs along the beach and what better to enjoy the view than to have a cleaner beach to have fun with.
The morning concluded as everyone sat on the same table to have a great BBQ chicken lunch and egg salad prepared by Raul. The laughs and smiles of satisfaction were pretty obvious as everyone enjoyed the feast.
In the quest for cleanliness, we had as motivational lead Miss Gloria Franklin, Club Member at Sueno del Mar, Mr. Raul from Green Reef Foundation, Greg "turtle man" and his family. Sueno del Mar Club Members who Joined the Clean-up are:
*Gillard Kosina, Kay Robertson, AG Robertson, Bobbi Moran, Joe Moran, Karen Walker, Eric Walker, Janessa and Charelle Walker, Mark and Cheryl McDonald, Maria & Kevin Solloway, Jenn & Steve Malvitz.

*Tranquility Bay also joined in the effort with the support of some of the staff.
*Miss Gloria Franklin was given a unique cutting board which was more of an artwork piece as a token of recognition for her enthusiasm.
Words are not enough to thank everyone who joined in the effort to clean our little piece of heaven.
