Walk It, Talk It, Clean It

Walk Talk Clean 1

Seif Ibrahim (YES 2017 - 2018) saw that his beloved city is in need of some cleaning. Given that it's tourist season, all the more reason to help make the town shine! As a newly returned YES alumnus, Seif knew it was up to him to pull people together to help out.

And it's even better to serve the community while connecting with friends, both old and new! Seif gathered seven YES alumni with him, plus four current YES students that are about to come to the US. The group of twelve motivated young Jordanians walked around the Jabal Amman on August 18th, cleaning up trash and talking to people they encountered. While beautifying the city, they spread awareness for the YES program and for environmentalism. These volunteers helped their community understand that it is important to take care of the environment, starting in your own neighborhood.

Seif and his team of friendly volunteers encouraged people to use trash bins that are available on each street while they walked for about a mile. Then they split into smaller groups and continued their efforts to clean an even wider area of Amman.
