Comments and Feedback

It is a chain or reaction.. And we would like to thank you, that you inspired us and we will keep on inspiring other people to take action now.

We want to share the feeling. We are located in a 5stars luxury hotel,, And guests from the hotel during their holidays helped us on the land with the debris. They spent time from their precious holidays to help us, carry the items, count them, and remove them. This was something new...
