2020 Algalita International Youth Summit on Plastic Pollution

Alex was off again to Dana Point, California this weekend and it was not with a paddle board.  It was for the 2020 Algalita International Youth Summit on Plastic Pollution.  She is part of a group from her school, Costa Verde International School, that is attending the 3 day Summit.  She was part of the group last year as well and thought so much of it she decided she wanted to be part of it again

Below is a Day One video recap from the Summit.  It is only about one minute long, super energetic and shows the kids attending from all over the world during some of the day's activities.  At about the 46 second mark Alex can be seen speaking on a microphone on stage.  She was soo excited about that!  You can enlarge the video as well.

The group of 6 students raised the funds for the trip through bake goods sales, movie night, online donations and concert ticket auctions.  (Thank you Bee-Bah for your donation)  Two teachers also accompanied the group to California as well.  An amazing opportunity for these kids to get out of our small town and meet kids from all over the globe.  We cannot wait to hear the stories when they get back home to Mexico.
