it was a big pleasure to see anthousiasm from children who cleaned the beatch in Coulibistri, Dominica. Great sharing moments with motivate people. Thanks to Mourad Jaber helped me to organize the event and thanks children to listened with passion. my first mission with " les plongeurs du monde" was a nice experience
