These proactive young people, aged from 7 to 14, were out in force braving the heat, aiming to raise $1,000 to help children from the Family Islands get the chance to enjoy a BREEF Sea Camp experience and learn how to preserve the marine ecosystems of their home islands.
BREEF runs free Family Island Sea Camps on Eleuthera and San Salvador to provide access to fun, hands-on, motivational education programmes on the marine environment. Without these camps, many Family Island children would not get the chance to learn about the environments they live in, and depend on.
BREEF is able to provide these programmes thanks to the financial assistance provided through various fund-raising activities, so in this instance, every lemonade purchased was worth a great deal more than the dollar it cost.
