Academy Director, Mr. Dave Farmer was extremely pleased with the response from the participants, and lauded their contribution especially since they braved heavy rains to participate in the project. “Thank you all for coming out and making this beach clean up a success. This is a very important initiative in our Sports For All<\/em> program and I am exceedingly pleased that so many of you so eagerly gave of your time,” he said.<\/p>\n
