    Hi there, might I know when will be the next cleanup for Lamma Island? My friends and I would like to help. Or if we go ourselves, which location should we focus on? Thanks!

      Unfortunately Tung O is still bad. If you can make it to there, that would be great. There is a cleanup every day there at the moment. Many thanks for your offer of support. It is much appreciated!
