Cleaning the Beach in Oman

On Tuesday 12 January the teacher collected us to tell us that we will go to a voluntary campaign tomorrow at Harmol beach a town near our school almumina. First, we hesitated but when we thought about that we are capitalized on to achieve the unannounced aims of this campaign. Therefore we decided to agree

The day after, the teacher came to our class and took us to the bus. While we were walking to the bus, she told us that we will clean Harmool beach. What a shock! Frankly our faces were full of scores and wrinkles from upset because we did not know that we are going to clean and collect rubbish, but there was not any choice.

At 8:30 we arrived at the beach with anger and despaired. later, All of us explored the beach, it was wonderful but full of rubbish and garbage. We were astonished to find other students from other schools participated in this campaign too .after that, the teacher distributed hats, shirts, gloves and cleaning tools. We started cleaning the beach and removing the rubbish such as old broken nets, tins and bottles. we also took some photos. After finishing the cleaning, we took break and we played with sand and shells. Then the organizer distributed some gifts, water and Omani halwa (sweets). It was very delicious sweet.

At 12:00 pm Sadly the teacher told us that the time was finished and we must return to the school. We implored her to stay for few more minutes. Finally we returned to the school, of course we felt tired but as we said the best you do the more you get. We thanked God that He has chosen us to participate in this great good deed.
