Last week twenty four employees from De Palm Tours volunteered to clean up the area around The Chapel of Alto Vista and Boca Pos de Noord.
A small group of employees moved the lawn and trimmed the weeds with lawnmowers and weed whackers to tame the grass that has been growing as a result of the heavy rainfall in November and December. Waist high weeds were trimmed into a carpet of green surrounding the Chapel.
The rest of the staff, around 18 volunteer headed to Boca Pos de Noord to the south of the Chapel to clean up what looked like mountains of garbage washed up on the beach from the rough surf of the last two months. Over three trucks full of garbage were used to transport garbage away, most of which was plastic water bottles, plastic paper, shoes, toiletries and even a vandalized car. After three hours of intense work the boca was finally looking presentable to visitors and locals that enjoy driving and hiking in that area.
For the past six months a volunteer team of dedicated employees at De Palm Tours has worked hard to clean up the area at the chapel and the bocas one kilometer to the north and south of the chapel. They are proud to say this area finally looks presentable to visitors and locals alike.
