Hi All, This is quite a change from what I would share in this group. So apologies upfront if this is unacceptable.
I feel that the Chennai rains taught us all something. All those in Chennai were affected in one way or the other. Chennai has been a home for us, be it long term or short term and I'm sure that each of you has found something in this city that kindled your interest :) I think it makes sense for us to give back to the city when it needs us? It would be nice to have a large bunch of Chennaipy volunteers helping clean up the beach. We all love Python the language and that has brought us together. But something that I strongly feel about is the human connect that exists above all of that. Do let me know your thoughts and apologies once again if this mail is irrelevant to the group. Have a happy weekend. Regards, Shrayas ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Peter Van Geit <peter.vang...@gmail.com> Date: Fri, Dec 18, 2015 at 9:56 PM Subject: [Chennai Trekking Club] Fwd: Chennai Beach Cleanup - Dec 27 2015 (6-9am) To: The Chennai Trekking Club <sachennaitrekkingc...@googlegroups.com> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Vinodh Sundar" <vinodhs.1...@gmail.com> Date: 18 Dec 2015 9:46 pm Subject: Chennai Beach Cleanup - Dec 27 2015 (6-9am) To: "Peter Van Geit" <peter.vang...@gmail.com> Cc: Register *here* if you are interested to join forces with us !!! <http://tinyurl.com/dec27cleanup> The recent rains in Chennai has flushed out tonnes of garbage from the city's rivers and other water bodies into the ocean, which got thrown back by The Sea, onto our once beautiful beach shores. Not only the streets of Chennai but the beaches are also now filled with tonnes of garbage. These garbage will slowly mix into the ocean and affect the lives of sea animals and birds, which have a direct impact on our eco-system. What goes around comes around. Also it will significantly affect the coming turtle nesting season, if our shores aren't cleaned up by that time. Chennai Trekking Club is planning a major beach cleanup drive on Dec 27th Sunday morning 6 am - 9 am. We are calling out to volunteers to join forces with us to restore the beauty of Chennai's beaches and give a helping hand to those beautiful Ridley Turtles which return every year to our coast to breed. Both individuals and Groups/NGOs/Corporates are welcome to join us. Gloves and other necessary materials will be provided to Individuals and NGO's. Corporates has to procure the necessary materials for their employees. Details of things that need to be procured will be shared with registered corporates. As a initial step we are planning to conduct this cleanup in two beaches. Broken Bridge and Foreshore Estate. Both of which is piled with tonnes of garbage. Basically North and South of Adyar river where lots of city garbage got flushed into the sea and thrown out back onto the shores. Spread the word with your friends & colleagues and make them join forces. Lets show the true spirit of Chennai to the whole world once again.
