FUNDRAISER & PLOGGING IN APGU
During the summer, Ecosave Club organized a plogging event where our members gathered in Apgu, a popular spot for socializing and shopping in Seoul. Our members gathered in this neighborhood to clean up the streets, finding various items like plastic bottles, advertising flyers and leftover food from the previous day.
We collected them in biodegradable trash bags. Although we couldn't pick up every single piece of litter, we hope our project still contributed to cleaning up the area. We were pleased to see some locals in the area supporting our initiative by joining in the trash pickup. For instance, a store manager guided us to areas with vast amount of trash.
Furthermore, we held a fundraiser after the plogging event to generate funds for creating birth certificates for the children in the Philippines. These birth certificates cost around $115 and most Filipino families are unable to afford them - leading to lack of access to quality education, proper health care. Through this event, Ecosave club aims to improve the access of children in the Philippines to fundamental human rights.
