The last few weeks have been pretty full
on helping with the 'Earth Day 2016' getting the Koh Tao community to join in a
day of fund raising and conservation all in the name of a great
conservationist, a friend member of the Koh Tao community Chad Scott.
Chad has worked on a huge
variety of conservation projects on Koh Tao, both on land and underwater. He
has given the community of Koh Tao so much and it will be an honor to be able
to give back by helping raise funds for his much needed hospital treatments
which his medical insurance didn't cover.
Chad was very unfortunate not only to
contract Leukemia that has changed and threatened his life but when
his insurance company informed him that they would not
cover Leukemia, he was put in a position of having to rely on help
from others. This is not an easy thing to do for anyone. So hence the
fundraiser.
More than 40 dive centers joined in with
the island-wide clean-up, with 20 of these donating the use of their dive boat!
Each boat did 2 cleanup dives
and a record all of the rubbish collected was taken and given to the PADI
Project AWARE Dive For Debris program.
In the evening, everyone ventured down to he Hacienda and Koh Tao Leisure Park who hosted the evenings activities with variety of food stalls, fairground games and ending with a top prize raffle with 'Bundles' of amazing prizes.
