On Friday 20 April 2012 the first edition of the Kaya Clean will take place in Liege. This event will be jointly organized by adventurer and explorer Louis-Philippe Loncke, the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) Belgium and the youth of the school aid association Seuil. The teens will paddle from the Liège kayak club Mava to the Basse-Ourthe and collect rubbish along the way.
The aim of the day is to make people aware of the waste that pollutes our waterways. The best way to achieve that goal is by giving nature a helping hand, by seeking out garbage and then cleaning it up. The desire to make an effort and understanding that everyone is able to bring about a positive change, is essential to build confidence, feel useful and to be able to grow up and become responsible adult citizens. The Kaya Clean Event will be a permanent part of the Roots & Shoots program. Read more
