This is the first 500 metres of the North beach before the project. Litter-dropping is a big problem in Albania. It happens all over the place, including the beach. Albania is a developing country, and the potential for tourism could really be developed with a few changes.
We provided rakes, shovels, wheelbarrows etc.
Everyone worked very hard. Two TV stations took shots and the mayor came for a short while and helped, and wore one of the Mormon Helping Hands yellow vests.
Mission Complete!!
Now this beach can be enjoyed by everyone.
Including us. The sea was like a warm bath, really beautiful especially for tired feet! It's shallow for a long way out.
These little fishing boats were just bobbing about in the sea
Albanian children love having their picture taken.
This beach project took place on June 2nd. We went down to Vlore a couple of weeks later and walked the beach. There was a big machine ploughing up the sand along the rest of the beach, which is quite long, starting from the edge of where our project finished!!
