The Interact Club of St. Vincent Girls’ High School and the Interact Club of St. Martin’s Secondary School, with the support of sponsor club the Rotary Club of St. Vincent, joined forces to host a beach clean-up at Indian Bay Beach on Saturday, 20 September 2025, in recognition of International Coastal Clean-Up Day (ICCD).
The initiative, which brought together over 30 Interactors, focused on the removal and sorting of trash and recyclable items along the shoreline. With support from community stakeholders, the event highlighted the power of youth leadership, partnership, and environmental stewardship.
Corporate partners also contributed to making the day possible. Evian Water, through local distributor Gonsalves Liquors Ltd., provided hydration, clean-up gear, and transportation for volunteers; Subway SVG supplied lunch; La Vue Beach Hotel offered its venue as the coordination and sorting site; and the National Parks, Rivers and Beaches Authority provided support.
The Superintendent for Terrestrial and Marine Parks also addressed the Interactors, reinforcing the importance of protecting and preserving coastal ecosystems.
Under the guidance of Youth Service Chair and Vice President Kimeisha Bailey of the Rotary Club of St. Vincent, the Interactors contributed to safeguarding the environment while developing critical skills in project planning and execution, stakeholder relationship management, and teamwork, gaining an increased awareness of their responsibility in sustainable environmental practices.
The Rotary Club of St. Vincent commended the Interactors for their efforts and extended appreciation to all partners who made the event possible.
