With the aim to be one of the catalysts   in the global drive for Bahrain’s environmental sustainability, AMA International University-Bahrain  (AMAIUB), through its  Community Engagement Office (CEO),   spearheaded   a beach  clean up activity   on April 20, 2012 at Balaj Al-Jazaier Beach, Zallaq Village from eight to ten o’clock in the morning.  

Dubbed as   “Team Up to Clean Up”, the activity was participated in by  the officials of the University ,  CEO Head Ms.  Farkhanda Al Bukhari,  CEO coordinators, volunteers  from the non-teaching employees, Center for General Education (COE), College of Computer Studies (CCS), College of Engineering (COE), the College of Administrative and Financial Sciences (CAFS), and the College of Medicine (COM) and officers of the Student Marshalls.  

The AMAIUB volunteers were provided with cleaning equipment, gloves,   and garbage bags by the company which manages  the  Al-Jazaier Beach , located in the Southern Municipality of the kingdom.  

With the collaborative efforts of the University volunteers, piles of debris and biodegradable and non-biodegradable garbage which had been swept ashore by the sea had been collected along the coastal areas.  

This noble environmental endeavor also aims to maximize   public participation in contributing to solve the problem of water and land pollution and at the same time, enhance  public awareness and appreciation of Bahrain ’s  coastal environment.
