Dear Friends,
OVERVIEW
“We Share The Same Challenges Wherever We Go!”
This week, we played host to a group of Indian Coast Guard Sailors visiting Singapore. A great and enthusiastic group of young sailors, who were passionate and dedicated towards sustainability of our oceans. They sure found the right place, the Waterways Watch Society to share their passion. They even did a mime presentation to share with us their views about what is happening to the environment around us and what we should be doing to enhance a sustainable environment, especially the oceans. A very meaningful engagement for both sides.
